For reasons expressed above somewhere, I wanted close to 335 (semi/lam) tone in a smaller package (basically, and rightly or wrongly, I concluded that the smaller body needed to eliminate the center block to get the most interior space for closest 335 tone). Heritage offers the smaller bout in a lam, but not a fully-hollow lam, and its fully-hollows all have 16" bouts. If I decide to try a semi, however, Heritage is at the top of my must-check-it-out list.

Actually the Prospect has a floating center block. In other words it is hollow under the block. The block only attaches to the top part of the guitar. Very hollow sounding as a result.
