I assume it would be Jeff Nicholson, who was Archie Leach's partner at Plaza Corp.

A little over 10 years ago, I contacted the owner of this #5, who was a member of HOC, to see if he would be interested in selling it. He shared that it was purchased during the PSP trip and was not ready to sell. I had taken a hiatus recently for a few months from the forums and market due to life changes. I checked back in and saw #5 on Wolfe Guitars and immediately purchased it. The next morning I was contacted by their staff and notified that the guitar had previously been sold but kept reappearing due to a technical glitch on the website. So I was refunded. It may have been before this banner appeared on their site, but I didn't notice because of the excitement of finding the instrument; the same one I had tried to purchase several years before. 😢The elusive Heritage H-140 25th Anniversary 😭

From the link FredZepp shared:

Do you see six signatures? Jim, Marv, JP ,Bill I assume that one of the other two is Archie.. not sure who else.

Found this... at the bottom of the page. Passing of the torch! https://the-guitar.com/a-heritage-of-guitar-making/

Here's an H-140 25th Anniversary that was sold on Reverb a while back. https://reverb.com/item/91740095-heritage-h-140-cm-25th-anniversary-with-case-in-excellent-condition

Saw one at a PSP can't remember which one but I should appear in the group photo. Could have been 2012 or 2013. That was the reason I asked Marv to build my 147

What is to wonder about? I bought it new as a standard II from Sweetwater in January, and here is a picture of the headstock. It is clearly not a custom core or the old standard with the decal logo.

Jay Wolfe may be able to find you one if it exists.

Ah! The caffeine just hit the last two working brain cells. The one I posted was a commemorative model to commemorate , funny how that works, the passing of the Heritage torch from the founders to the new owners.

Can't really see the finish but it's the best angle I have.

I found the pics I took at the factory. It was PSP IX (2016?) It's a different head stock than the one on Reverb. It looks better executed. The Reverb 150 is located in Muscle Shoals which is about 30 minutes from Moulton, JP's home town, so it's possible JP received it after his retirement and his family let it go. The shop that has it for sale also had a Terminator for sale a couple of years ago. I picked up a HFT-480 from a guy in Moulton, about an hour from me, a while back who told me his father was friends with JP and he got the guitar from him. It's not inconceivable that head stocks were in in the works before JP left. Anyway, a bit of a caffeine induce ramble. Here's the shots from PSP

Interesting.... Wonder if it was really a Standard II?

Beautiful!

In all the years I've been with the HOC and PSP's, I can safely say I've never seen a H140 25th Anniversary. Either in person or on this forum. Other than the example for the catalog, I don't know if they actually made any. Back in the day, the ledgers were all handwritten notebooks, so the ability to look one up is nearly impossible. I remember looking at the catalog and wondering who'd pay for one of those when an H150 was just a tiny bit more.... Good luck with your search though. Glad we could help you out, the seller of the OP H150 didn't know what he had but priced it pretty high.

Very nice. I'm glad they brought back the 555 and 157. I like gold hardware, and the bound headstock just looks great.

Its still in my care.

Thank you, I'm really enjoying it!

Killer! All class that one is!

Dude this H137 is sick, I would absolutely kill for a single humbucker H137DC.

This was delivered a couple of weeks ago, but I've been too busy playing it to take a pic!

I can only speak about the one I bought. It might be an outlier. This is the Sweetwater pic before I bought it. My biggest complaint are the frets. they are wide and too short. I had it refretted with Jumbo SS.

I think those PRS wide fat necks are perfectly fine

Really??? Wow!!!!

Thank you DetroitBlues for the additional photos from the seller and Skydog53 for reaching out to Marv. It is a unique instrument, but I'll continue on my fourteen year search for the elusive H-140 25th Anniversary. I just missed one and have been feeling very emotional lately. Thanks again everyone.
