FS: H150 Cherryburst - Like New
For sale is my 2009 H-150.  Some of you may remember this guitar as the PSP2 prize from the fine folks at Heritage.  It is in the same condition as the day I got it.

Mahogany bottom with maple top.

Trap inlays.

Hard case.

I'm not a real guitar guru, but I'll try and answer any questions you may have.  I'm asking $2,200 plus shipping.

Been a while since something happened at a gig that I thought worth bothering others with. The one this past Saturday was .... potentially disastrous, yet somehow ended being quite fulfilling. 

La Cygne KS - known for it's proximity to the La Cygne Nuclear Power Plant and the oft spotted 2 headed frogs. To be fair, the river and the town were there long before the power plant. And they are a few miles apart. Anyway, BFE in Eastern Kansas. I get there 1 1/2 hrs before the gig. Tracy is there, drummer is not. He's always first. Very conscientious about gigs and getting set up. Hmmm. Tracy and I unload, start setting up, he's still not there. It's now 1 hour before the gig and he finally responds to texts and phone calls. 

#1: "Thought this gig was cancelled", Nope, that was the acoustic gig in the ice/snow storm. "Uh, oh boy, I'm 2 hours away from there" Then you best get on the road!  "I'm on my way!"

#2: Our regular bass player couldn't make the gig. "I'll have Paul sit in, he's pretty good." Ok, will he know his stuff? "Yeah, he'll get it. He and I studied at the same college". You went to school? Where at? Berkelee College of Music"  You went where? ........ oh yeah. 

So, no drummer, sit in bass player. Oh, did I mention my pedal board went wanky? 30 minutes to find a short(ing) cable. Because it wasn't shorting all the time. Argh!! So, come 9p we started, with the sit in bass player and no drummer. Hmmm, not bad. Played mostly slower, more acoustic(y) stuff. Some older goodies we don't normally play. And we made a thing of the drummer not being there. Mentioned it before and after every song. Bus .... drummer, IYKWIM. And then about 9:30 the side door opens and in walks the drummer. The whole bar applauded and cheered him on. It was pretty cool. We took a break, helped him set up. Did a quick check on the kick drum, and proceeded to bust it loose! Owner thought it was a good "skit"; bass player was spot on - he and I meshed very well; Tracy was in great form (vocally as well); and the drummer had lots of energy. Turned out to be a very good evening.

I’ve seen a few Chibsons around my local area lately.

Some on Craigslist and some in local second hand shops.

While they have been honest of what they are, but should they even be allowed on the market?

Would you buy one, even if you swapped all the parts or the quality was actually high?

Options - New Venue?
I've never been to Martin Festival or PRS Experience (https://www.prsguitars.com/blog/post/experience_2018_event_recap).

But I've often wondered if we could ever turn our love of Heritage guitars and PSP into something more memorable than recent years, something more upscale like what Martin and PRS has done in the past.  Perhaps something that is more community involved or something more of a prestigious, exclusive private event with Heritage.  I don't think it will be crazy like PRS, but we have a tight fanbase for Heritage guitars and I think you all deserve more than what I've been able to do so far.

Truth be told, I'm a bit concerned with the VFW availability this year and years moving forward.  Also, while the cost of the Country Inn hasn't risen too much over the years, the quality/condition of the rooms has declined. With this, I'm researching new hotels and venues to host our PSP events. While Plaza Corp and Bandlab has been offering to host our event at their future Outdoor Beer Garden, I honestly don't know if/when it will be ready for us.

Now here's my thoughts, I could use some constructive opinions here.

Option 1:

Continue Country Inn & VFW




Option 2: 

Find a hotel that has an outdoor reception area that we can have catered.




Option 3.

Find a hotel that offers shuttle services to another location.




In previous years and including this year, PSP has been a free event. However, by evolving PSP to a more exclusive styled event, we may have to start to pay upfront.  One location I'm looking at is up to $1000 plus catering costs.  While that's a bit expensive, if we say there are 60 people coming, the event could only cost us $25 a piece.

I don't want to move forward with this if we are not wanting or willing to at least explore the option.

I get nothing out of this other than just hosting an event for the members of this community, many of which I call friends.  I also don't want to alienate or take away anything we experienced over the years either.

Your opinions mean a lot to me.  What do you think?
