I got this thing at a local store owned by a friend in 1983 or 4. I think the list was $1295, and I paid about $890.00 for it. The dealer bought what was required to be a stocking dealer (6 pieces), and I agreed to buy the double (I'm a double-neck nut) so he could justify the purchase. The line didn't move, and Carls stopped carrying it.

I got a Heritage Lite (like a Less Paul) the same way. The dealer wanted to try out the line, and I agreed to buy one of the pieces at cost to help out. That line didn't sell around here, either, but it is a superior quality instrument, and the line still exists.

Ah, big boys and their toys!
