As much as I'd like one, the new Custom Core Line up makes feels like how Heritage was to me 15 years ago; beyond my financial means. $5k for a guitar is so steep, I'm sure definitely worth it though. I'd have to sell all four of my Heritages to get one of those; even then I wouldn't be happy because the design has a slim 60's neck profile. While I have gotten used to thinner necks, I rather enjoy the meatiness of my current lineup. Its a shame there was not a custom inlay to show its a 40th Anniversary model.

Nice shooting Tex! Great photos, look much better than my bar band shots I get once in awhile. Beautiful H150 and congratulations on the new album!

Hey congratulations. Those are some good pics too

The Triple Nickel is da BOMB! There are days I wish I had ordered that instead of the 157 way back when. Oh well, that's the way it goes!

Oh my that's a stunner

Another good one is "perfect sound forever"

Very stylish. Nice Snatch!

And it has a flame maple pickguard like the originals! 😍

you'll love it!!!

wow congrats skydog I saw that email, it said they're only making 40 of them?

I just previewed that book on google. A really good read. Will track it down & buy it thx for the headsup

I was looking for a dedicated performance photo thread and didn't see one (apologies if I missed it!), but wanted to share a few photos since I've been playing the '94 H150 as my primary live guitar lately. Band has had a wave of local gigs lately and hoping to have debut album out August/Sept: https://makingfriendsasadults.bandcamp.com/track/bad-time

What is 40th anniversary about it?

Very nice!

I have a H-555 on order.

My H150 used a 3/8" wrench when I set it up last weekend.

Tim, that is one of the best music books that I've ever read. I'm glad you posted it as I hope others get turned on to it! And thanks for the nice words on my playing and listening to the song.

@rockabilly69...Very cool thread and great playing, as usual. You rung out that old rig. Here's another historical reference to Leo Fender (and many other heros of electric guitar and amp fame) that is a great read. https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Birth_of_Loud/VDxqDwAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&printsec=frontcover

Yeah I've never seen or heard of a Fender amp earlier than this one! And that Nachoburst was pretty cool too!

that is pretty kickass!! wow a real piece of history there too

Thanks DB, I am pretty lucky to know Lynn Wheelwright. When he needs someone one to demo his stuff, he usually calls me, or the other guitar player in our band Vorraro, Ryan Hawthorn. We have goten to play some seriously cool guitars and amps, stuff people dream about, and more than once, Lynn has allowed me to keep guitars/amps overnnight so I can really learn about them. Lynn is a a walking encyclopedia of knowledge when it comes to vintage electric guitar stuff, but when it comes to actually using the gear and making music with it, he loves to get feedback from Ryan and I. Check out Lynn's work on this book... https://pinecasterbook.com/the-authors/

Very very cool. Getting ahold of something vintage like that is amazing. Having the skill and tools to do it justice is even better!
