Commentary and Evaluation from Ed Roman
The Heritage Blues Deluxe and Blues Deluxe Plus are my all time favorite Heritage Guitars!!!
This guitar delivers all the sound of a Gibson 335, it weighs less, plays better and costs almost a thousand dollars less. As with all Heritage guitars, you can order it in over 500 different possible configurations. Options include, different inlays, different pickups, different bridges, Bigsby Tremolos, different hardware colors, different tailpieces, wood upgrades over 35 color choices and much much more.

This is Ed Roman's Favorite Heritage Guitar
Now Available with
Buzz Feiten Tuning System
Some dealers are telling people that the "Blues Deluxe" is the same as the Prospect. If a dealer tells you that he is lying to you.
The Prospect model is constructed entirely differently. The "Prospect" employs a floating center block. The "Blues Deluxe" uses a solid center block. One knowledgeable customer pointed that out to a certain dealer in Indiana. The dealer told him to stuff the guitar with styrofoam and he could achieve the same stability as a "Blues Deluxe."
Even if that were true I wouldn't want to stuff my guitar with styrofoam. That would entirely defeat the purpose of buying a "Prospect."
I carry both the "Prospect" and the "Blues Deluxe" Each guitar has it's advantages, The "Prospect" is better suited to playing in your bedroom without an amp where the "Blues Deluxe" is more of a professional all around stage guitar. The "Prospect" will be slightly louder when played without an amp but it will tend to feed back a lot quicker than a "Blues Deluxe". The "Prospect" will definitely not sustain like a "Blues Deluxe."

The structural design is somewhat similar to a Gibson 335. The guitar is a little smaller and a little thinner. It's much lighter and easier to play and hold. And most importantly it sounds and plays better, guaranteed or your money back.
