I thought about ordering an "H-357 Magnum" once How would you spec that out? I was thinking of gunmetal blue/grey paint, matching headstock, reflective metal pickguard a la Neil Young, vintage firebird spec pups

is the walnut one the 3rd in from the right? those are all very nice. If I had to pick 1 it would be a tough decision

This guitar plays with the lightest touch of any that I've tried. I love this thing. It's also light for a 150 at just 9 pounds. I installed the set of JS Moore humbuckers that I had. Phenomenal.

A 575 case will work just perfect.

beautiful, I like that "thick black" guitar enjoy it

No problem. It's kind of hard to tell in the picture.

Sorry about that.

This one is ebony.

I love Oxblood! enjoy that beautiful axe!

Heritage will probably sell you one

I only have 3. And two 575s…. I need a Sweet 16.

I received it today. It's as nice as you think it is. I'm not convinced that the pickups are original. They overdrive my tube amp at low volumes when I'm not using overdrive. I'll look at it later. I have a set of JS Moore humbuckers that are going in it.

Find me a Sweet 16 case and I will

It’s probably an Eagle case. Sell it to me.

Really nice.

I bought a used Sweet 16 but the case seems too big. I have to add padding to keep the guitar from jostling around. Is that normal or maybe this case belongs to a different Heritage model. Anybody?

My understanding is the profit went to Marv. When he made the new neck for my 575 I made the check out to Marv not heritage.

That is a pretty insane collection of H357's!! So what's the story on why Marv decided to start making them again?

I believe he has #2, the twin to mine. They were always made in pairs.

Marv made an all walnut Marvbird for CJ Stanley from wood that he provided to Marv. CJ owns probably about 1/3 of the Marvbird's out there. Part of his collection.

the old one I have has an all mahogany neck. Not sure if they were all built like that. the body dimensions are slightly different too. We had a thread about all tthis a long time ago, probably lost when the site went down interesting topic though. Some of the more fascinating guitars Heritage ever built.

The black and white photo looks like mahogany "wings" and could be maple in the mix. What the old guard could not do is call it a firebird just as they never called H150 a Les Paul.

Yes, if you go through the old catalogs, they were nothing but mahogany:

Well I guess the name has stuck I've always called them Heritage H357's. I'm not sure what ticked Jim off: it was at a PSP & maybe everyone else was fawning over them earlier. Jim is a master guitar builder too. maybe we need a "Jimbird"? I'm sure he's built a lot of Eagles I think the early H357's were all mahogany?

Nice looking H-150, congrats and enjoy!!
