brentrocks Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 (edited) Don't you love it when you find sweet guitars locally?!?! Thanks again to Mark for another great transaction!!! A fellow Heritage lover and local friend was selling this beautiful 2017 Heritage H157.. So i called him up and we made the deal yesterday. This H157 has a neat history. Shortly after PlazaCorp took over the operations down at 225 Parsons St., Heritage did a limited edition for NAMM. It was called the H157W. The W stood for Western Maple. These were limited to 50 pieces, and all had INCREDIBLE western maple tops. And all came from the factory with THROBAK pickups and bumblebee caps. This guitar was built with one of the leftover tops from that 157W run. And has the same THROBAK pickups and caps. It also has locking TONEPROS hardware and Grover tuners with ebony buttons...all factory. This H157 has a medium C neck carve...about .870-.950. It's incredibly light, for a Les Paul Custom style guitar.... only 8.6 lbs!!!! It has incredible note definition. Warm, woody tone. Great fretwork...it sets up really nice!

golferwave Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Great score there Brent! I was wondering if you would end up with that one. I believe Mark has as many guitars in stock as you do. Enjoy it's beautiful tone! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbp810 Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 That is an incredible top; perfect flame pattern to pair with a trans black finish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been playing a lot of hotter wound pickups lately (Duncan JB) so I’m re adjusting. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brentrocks Posted August 4 Author Share Posted August 4 The trans black wasn’t doing anything for me at first, but the more I play it and see it, I’m coming around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to check your eyesight, that top is a crippler! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would look better with a bourbon burst or a dark lemon burst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the finish on Rob's #1 that he brought to the early PSPs? Cognac burst? Vintage wineburst? That would be stunning. But...don't get it refinished!!

That's a killer top! I agree I think I would have the top redone if it was mine. Enjoy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y2kc Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 That is just nasty. Very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalismanRich Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Man, whatever you do, don't change it. There are scads of lemon bursts, and bourbon bursts, and almond bursts. There aren't many trans blacks that look that great! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElNumero Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 (edited) The battery in my phone went dead staring at this beauty. Did this come from Mark Goetting in Portage? Edited August 6 by ElNumero 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElChoad Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 What a work of art! Congrats, and thanks for saving me from buying it. (I may end up with it when you sell it in a couple weeks )🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
