kirkw101 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360359726877&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_3036wt_952 Kirk here from Texas. I just bought this. I did some research and I think he is wrong on the model number but it looks pretty sweet. he has a 3 day inspection period so its a cant loose deal. what is the thoughts about this early rare guitar? serial starts with "J" so that like 1993 if I found the right serial number look up. not sure if the pups are stock, I would bet not. Thats cool though,always do a swap. I've always like the slap LP's the best. Maybe its a Bob Marley thing, not sure. anyhow, Hello. Kirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtpatty Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Nice guitar! let us know how it sounds and what pickups are actually in it! Welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cod65 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 nice! rare! good deal. the fact that its not a bolt-on neck makes it worth the price IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkw101 Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 when I saw it on ebay my first thought was it fake. God bless Al Gore and his internet because I found this site and other folks with the same illness I have. Oh and pictures of a similar guitar, I think it was cherry in color. anyhow, I way geeked about it. pic will be post once the beast gets here.

kirkw101 Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 y'all have any ideas about what the stock pups might have been? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totonka Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 The seller originally had it listed as a H127, which is the tele looking Heritage. It was up for a few weeks. Nice snag on that one. Oh yeah, I know - you're getting to it. Welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyGrass Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 y'all have any ideas about what the stock pups might have been? Probably Schallers. If so, they are good PAF pups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chico Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 welcome, is that the H15o Special I posted over on the bay board? if so, interesting find, nice axe. look forward to hearing more from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tulk1 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 The pics make that finish look very strange. Somehow, very appealing. Nice snag. And, oh yeah, wrong model # for sure. Probably a 150P or a 150 Special. Either way, welcome to the club. I think you'll like that guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Flying Bird Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 looks like an early H-137 Nice grab. That's what I was thinking. Good looking guitar. I'll bet she will scream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkw101 Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 so I've been studying the pictures the seller sent me and comparing them to schallers website. the pups may very well be golden50's, the rings look like a dead match. tailpiece looks to be a schaller as well. an all stock 1993, damn. I'm so stoked! My AC15 is begging for it! any ideas on the neck profile and radius? kirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthpawGuy Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 looks like an early H-137 Nice grab. Looks like that to me, wasn't the model name H-137D, D for double pickup ? Nice guitar, love that finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The neck profile and radius is hard to say... they are a custom shop through and through, and it also seems like this changes from time time along with the trend of what other customers are ordering. If I had to guess, I'd say most likely medium on the chunky scale, and probably a C profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tulk1 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I will once it gets here. I shot the good folks at Heritage the serial number, lets see if they have something on file. kirk Doubt it. Especially from 1993. Not the best guys at record keeping. At first I thought it was a 137, too. But thought I caught a glimpse of carved top, so went with the 150. This one is cool! You'll def want your own pics .... just for us!! ... when you get it. And thru an AC15? Yeah, baby!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkw101 Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 I just shot the seller a question asking if its a flat top or a carved top. It doesn't really matter to me, but how cool is that freakin guitar!!! This is going to be a LONG wait!! thanks for all the input guys. Pics and sound clips will follow once I get it and evaluate set up and strings etc.... Kirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitBlues Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 looks like an early H-137 Nice grab. That's what I think it is too. Rare one indeed unless it was a refinish job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkw101 Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 seller just emailed me, he said the top is not totally flat, it has a slight arch. He also said there is nothing inside the control cavity. He said he would shoot me a photo of the control cavity. I tried to call Heritage and they are closed till July 11th. MAN THIS IS KILLIN' ME!!!! The mystery continues???????????? Kirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hfan Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I'd say you got a very good price. Probably several guys here kicking themselves for missing it. Oh and buy the way, welcome to the cult I mean club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
