Nobody does sparkle finishes like British Columbia-based master luthier, Scott Heatley.

Some finishes have flash. This one has presence. The gold sparkle on this Heatley Parisienne isn’t just eye-catching, it’s deep, dimensional, and downright mesmerizing. Pictures don’t do it justice (and honestly, it’s probably safer not to stare directly at it for too long). Scott Heatley’s execution of this classic finish goes beyond flash - it’s refined, elevated, and uniquely his.

Weighing in at just 6lbs 4oz, this Parisienne is lightweight, resonant, and alive in your hands. The mahogany body with maple cap and mahogany neck provide the perfect platform for a pair of TV Jones T-Armond pickups that deliver exactly what you want: crystal-clear trebles that are never harsh, bold but always musical, and perfect for players chasing character without compromise.

Controls are classic and streamlined - a single volume and tone with a 3-way switch - while the Heatley aluminum wraparound bridge keeps things locked in, intonated, and ringing true. The neck carve? An absolutely dialed-in full "C" that nods to a late-’50s Les Paul, paired with a 1 11/16" nut, medium jumbo frets, and a rosewood fingerboard with celluloid inlays.

And then there’s that headstock (our fave). A tortoise H logo and chevron set against an ivoroid veneer - pure retro charm, executed with modern precision. A nod to the past, but unmistakably Heatley.
