Meant to say "the goal of the PAF was to sound like a P90 without the noise" whoops

They are just saying that the goal of PAF was to sound like a PAF without the noise. There are many people, including the early pickup designers that feel the P90 is the best pickup that was ever made. And some of those early PAFs do sound quite a bit like an hot Balckguard Tele pickup.

I have it somewhere here. Great pics of the great guitars the old guard put out.

Your kidding! Victor came to PSP that year and was actively marketing his book. I believe he secured quite a few orders. Its a great book, I didn't buy one ( I think they were about $40 back then). Haven't heard from him in a long time.....

Been a long time since we saw him last. Oddly enough, I believe he had a H127 he fully restored and it was a stunner. I had a few conversations with him at the Barn way back when. I remember the book as well as the guitar on the cover page. If anyone recalls, that H150 was on display at PSP on the final assembly work bench. Such a beautiful guitar.

Victor is a member here. He was at several PSPs. His HOC handle is Totonka. I haven't seen him around for a while, though.

What? You found something on the internet that you don't believe? Hard to imagine.

I have a 1996 Super Eagle and I can't seem to find the right size tool to adjust the truss rod. Granted I don't have a specific tool for this so I'm just trying out different sockets and wrenches (US and Metric) but because of clearance I can't get a good grip and I don't want to strip it. Any guidance would be appreciated. Heck I'll buy the wrench from Stewmac if I knew what to buy.

This is a convoluted statement of logic: "The characterization that a great burst Les Paul sounds like a Telecaster on steroids is really talking about how a humbucking pickup succeeded in sounding like a quiet P90" WTF I've never heard anyone say a great burst Les Paul sounds like a Telecaster with P90's

Got it. Autographed too, I think? It's great!

Great book! Basically pictures and not much text/info at all. Still a great book though! I'm just stating, if you get a chance to grab one thinking there's a lot of info to read, facts, etc, there is not. Great photos of old school Heritage though!

I do remember this when it came out. I never saw it in person.

While surfing the inter-web, I found this ad for a Heritage Guitars coffee table book by Victor H. Dvorak. It was published in 2012! I never knew this existed! I didn't order one ($82.00 is a bit hefty) but wanted to pass the info along to ya'll.

I have an extra Heritage 575 case if you are interested in buying. PM me if interested. I know my 575 has a 16inch lower bout and about an 11.5 inch upper bout. If the Sweet 16 is the same, it should be a good fit. Let me know.

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
