Nice work! y2kc

Thats it, I am selling my Heritage guitars and getting my head operated on. y2kc

Nice sound!

What a great looking guitar! You made a great choice. A great guitar period. y2kc

Well I have been looking for that guitar with original hardware. Still a nice find. y2kc

That is a guitar I have been looking for. Very cool, y2kc

Mark, The 137 will do the job quite nicely. Turn that amp up and let us hear it all the way to Chicago. Enjoy, y2kc

Beautiful!

Sir, I am a fan of this amp. Your amp is in need of some basic servicing. With the correct care and an upgraded speaker these little amps can shine for anything. Find someone born before 1955 to fix your amp, ask questions and expect to pay some money. Well worth it. y2kc

Leo Fender also chose Schaller pickups for G&L guitars with humbuckers. I have heard that Leo was very impressed with the Schaller factory and had a friendship with the owner. I imagine the German facility was light years ahead of any of his other options back then. Personally I have zero problems with the Schaller products on my vintage G&L and Heritage guitars. When buying old Heritage guitars, I prefer them to be just as they left the factory. y2kc

I am glad that this has come to an end. Making music should not be this hard. Good luck with the search and thanks for the great story. Also watch your back, that girl sounds nuts. y2kc

SRV used some big strings but also tuned down a tad. It is amazing how much tension is removed when tuning down a half step. My son grew up playing with 11's because of Stevie but at the age of 35 he has changed to 10's. His hands are very strong and he is enjoying the change. I hope to bring him along with me this year to psp. RIPSRV, Y2kc

The Bluesboy is the only modern G&l I am interested in. What pick-up did your guitar come with in the neck position, a Seth Lover? I have heard the Bluesboy is a wonderful guitar. Tim Page at Buffalo Bros. designed that with G&L. Good to hear you are digging the Fralin, y2kc

Thanks for the invite. My name is Casey and my handle here is y2kc. I currently am the owner of a "c" series h-140. I have been a collector of pre-bbe G&L's since 1991 and recently have started to focus on early h-140's. If anyone would want to make a trade, I am open. It has taken a little tweeking but I am beginning to understand the Schaller pickups. Leo Fender chose those as well for some of the 1980's G&l's he made. Didn't like them then and don't really like them now. Lurking here has helped me learn a tad about the Heritage guitars. I am not a big fan of modern day Gibson and Heritage fits the bill perfectly. Thanks, y2kc
