Farmboyjo Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Interesting item here, and no relation to me. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Heritage-USA-Custom-H-137-2018-TV-Yellow/233785673970?hash=item366eb648f2:g:Qx8AAOSwl3VftLOh&redirect=mobile Does anybody have a story on this? I'm thinking it's maybe built for an employee... Special serial number of the USS Enterprise, the extra signatures on the label. I was weary about the Brazilian rosewood "leftover from the Gibbons days", but then the other items make it pretty clear there was a lot of special input from the factory. content://com.android.chrome.FileProvider/images/screenshot/1605712058509-468168539.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steiner Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Gee, only twice the price. There's too much hyperbole. Cool SN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ej150 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Nice look and color to that one. Wonder what reserve is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmboyjo Posted November 19, 2020 Author Share Posted November 19, 2020 I noticed the pickguard too. Don't see that on these guitars very often. I'm still interested who this was made for? The seller is in Woodland Hills, California (20 miles outside Hollywood) so another link to TV? The answer may only be $1900 away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitBlues Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Looks nearly identical to the HOC LE 137. Only difference is no stinger, standard Grover tuners, and possibly the neck profile. (By the way, the starting bid on is the price of a new 137 HOC LE) But that serial number! LOVE IT! As a Trekkie, I have to admire such a request. As for the pickguard, looks really familiar...

DetroitBlues Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I just confirmed the eBay listing was an employee guitar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I notice the "J.E." on the cavity sticker in the serial, and i'm going to assume that's the employee's initials Plausible anyway. I love back stories... I almost bought a custom strat that was made for Rue McClanahan's (Golden Girls, etc.) son. Not just because it was made for him -- it was a beautiful guitar priced right. But the backstory is just something else to talk about when showing off your guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
