Up for sale, a 2006 Heritage Eagle in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case and hangtags. A direct descendant of Gibson, Heritage guitars are still handcrafted under the guidance of original Gibson employees at the Kalamazoo, Michigan factory. After Gibson left their original factory in 1984, their employees purchased it and have continued the legacy and pioneering spirit that defined Gibson's golden age.
With solid tonewoods throughout, the Eagle features a 17” wide body with a Venetian cutaway, 3” body depth and mahogany body and neck construction (including the top). The X-braced top yields a notably warm, midrange-forward response with a pronounced cut, sweet growl, and smooth-sounding, punchy trebles, qualities further accentuated by a set of 12-53 flatwound strings. The floating humbucker is carefully voiced to capture the sweetness and dynamism of the instrument, with broad, airy lows and immediate, sparkling trebles. This Eagle weighs 7lbs 2oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with easy-playing action and optimal intonation.
