brentrocks Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 ...is this uber cool 1989 H170!!! Done up in somewhat rare trans-blue. This baby has seen some action over the last 34 years. I was pretty much stock when I got it. The only thing missing was the original pickguard. The original Schaller bridge and tailpiece had been swapped out for aluminum Nashville style hardware. I opted to pull the Schaller pickups and replaced them with a set of Gibson Shaw PAFs. I swapped the Grovers for locking Grovers. The frets show a little bit of wear. The body show lots of honest play wear, but no signs of abuse. No breaks or cracks. It sets up and plays great! The neck is a medium C. It's quite lightweight too. And has great tone to boot!

MisterG Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 That is sweet! Is it volume/tone only? What is next to the toggle switch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a kill switch where the tone pot used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuz Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 I am not sure if I like it better with, or without the pickguard. I think on that body shape I like it better without the pickguard, but hey it's your guitar. Nice find as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
