Perilmeglio2 13 Posted September 1 Finally...i did it! I found my 2nd H-160v! As you can see is quite different from the one I already had (on the left): the body is clear while the other is almost cream, and even the fretboard is darker. The other one has a hb SD Jeff Beck, this one is totally original! I just wanted to show you my new toy... 😁 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DetroitBlues 52 Posted September 1 Nice twins! How close are they in age? Its amazing how nitro can age a finish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pressure 224 Posted September 1 If your new H160v has the serial number, C 08603 which means it was built October 6th 1986, I used to own it. It has been refetted and PleKed to perfection. That's a Fab guitar. Good times. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perilmeglio2 13 Posted September 1 E serial both, same age of production. The "cream one" is always on a stand and is often played, the "white one" I guess has passed most of its life in a closet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perilmeglio2 13 Posted September 2 The "white" seems to be older from the serial number (E 16504, the cream is E 24101). Both nice guitars and 3 Heritage in my collection! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rwinking 81 Posted September 2 I guess I am a little confused. I have what I think is an H-160 (fire engine red!) but it has the traditional strat five way switch. My Stat has the four mini switches like you H-160. So is mine just a later version? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Perilmeglio2 13 Posted September 2 (edited) If I'm not wrong h-160v and Stat are different models, both have a "strato" shape but they are different. From my research it seems that only 20 h-160v were made... so I had 10% of the world production of this model 😅 Edited September 2 by Perilmeglio2 Had to complete 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rwinking 81 Posted September 2 Hey, thanks....mine must be an H-162. It has the pointy headstock and the strat style 5 way switch. It is really light so it must have a poplar body with a Kahler trem. My Stat is a super strat style but mahogany body and maple top with binding. It has the 4 mini switches for the pick ups and set neck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bolero 192 Posted September 3 congratulations Perilmeglio2! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rwinking 81 Posted September 4 Interesting....my H-160 has a serial number of E20207. They must have been building them at the same time. I thought they may have developed them over the years....like I said, mine has the 5 way switch and also a maple fretboard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perilmeglio2 13 Posted September 13 Hi everybody, after some research as you can see I found that about only 20 h-160v were made by Heritage... is it possible? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
