Wow! If this was a clear winner over several CC 535s as well as Gibsons, I can only imagine it plays and sounds as good as it looks. And it looks fantastic!!!

I like it. After the traditional red, the natural finish is next on my list. That's some excellent figuring on the top.

That is a stunner!

Late to the thread here, but I drove over to Dave's the other day and brought this one home. I ended up playing six CC H-535s and two Gibson CS Historic ES-335s, and this one was clearly the winner in terms of tone and playability. I honestly believe that the new 2025 bridge systems on both the H-535 and H-150 guitars are a huge improvement over the previous Pinnacle bridges:

the label looks like Ned rink. Do you have the name of the gentleman in Georgia? I’m asking him because I lived in Georgia for 16 years and I believe I’ve seen that Guitar in the Atlanta area being played live.

Grubber?? A lost member?

Big Bob owned it and sold it to Grubber...

He did at one point have one with a hockey stick headstock. I'll ask...

Does Lance still have that? I can’t remember.

Feel like someone in Florida had that at one stage.

Stunner!

Took it outside yesterday…beautiful day in SW Michigan

I’m pretty sure someone here on this group owns this guitar now? If you do, i’m looking to find out what the sticker on the inside of the control plate says as far as a model designation. Thank you!

Just a superb axe there Brent! Beautiful quilt top and finish. Enjoy!

Thanks Tim!!!!

I agree, Rich, I think that era of H157 head stocks were the classiest looking headstocks in the Guitar world!

FIXED MY NUT 🥜 😂 FIXING THE NUT…on the 2006 Heritage H157 Custom Quilt!!! The D, G and B slots were VERY LOW!! Now, I could have paid someone $100 for a new nut job??? I could have done the ol superglue and baking soda fix??? I could have made a new nut myself (although it probably wouldn’t have been too pretty). NOPE. I decided to use multiple layers of copper shielding tape to “jack up” the factory nut. There were two main reasons why this set up with this nut did not work for the Guitar… 1…Those three slots were too low and they were giving a little bit of buzz on the first Fret. 2….The trust rod needed to be tightened a little bit to straighten the neck out a little more and of course, if you do that that lowers the strings closer to the first Fret, so that certainly was not going to work with the way the nut was setting. So, shimming the nut up just a few thousands of an inch, was the least aggressive solution to the problem! And it worked perfectly, as I knew it would! The guitar actually played pretty good as it was but now it is even better! AND I DID ALL THAT BEFORE 8am 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I’m trying to contact the seller to see if maybe that was his brother‘s name underneath there? Whoever wrote those labels out in that era really needed to practice on their penmanship. Lol.

Beauty, Brent. Can't make out what the label has below 'Custom Made'. Any idea what it says?

Thanks fellas!!! This is a very special 157. A great representation of what Heritage was capable of back then.

That's a gorgeous top! I always liked the headstock on the 157 vs the 150. The binding and the diamond inlay just look RIGHT! I'm also partial to the block inlays. It needs the bound wooden pickguard, tho. The tan plastic just looks so.... generic! A 157 is about class. 😜

@brentrocks...Wow, beautiful H157 Custom! Congratulations on yet another amazing score. 👍
