big bob Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 So I opened up the bahama burst H-150 custom light weight, made by "the girl" Katie Flamm, and well this thing is totally hollow. not chambered, hollow like a millie, but she weighs far less than my millie did. probably the mahogany back and sides. the other weird thing was in the control cavity is a written note that reads "to sissy"? what is a chambered guitar supposed to be?

Kuz Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 How do you "open" a guitar to see it's hollow. Please tell me you didn't go this route! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big bob Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 I had pics but my camera/computer ate them, will take more later. I opened up the toggle cavity and looked inside with a lited dental mirror could see both pups, schaller..just weird as I thought chambered ment only some wood removed.. this is rapidly becoming my #1 playing git.. just love it .. http://i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae331/t...ob/P1010035.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthpawGuy Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Maybe it's constructed similar to a Millie ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersteel Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 My H150 LW I used to have was hollow as well. The Guild Bluesbird is similarly constructed. They have a nice, woody tone to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthpawGuy Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 So would that make it a 150CM SH NFH, just wondering what it says on the label ....150CMLW ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The label is a custom shop label, has H-150 LW, schallers and the serial # W00006 no CM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Flying Bird Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 .... the other weird thing was in the control cavity is a written note that reads "to sissy"? That's pretty cool.

Steiner check your pm's Ok to clear up the confusion********** First I’m thankful a HOC member got her. Couldn’t have found a more loving home. Your choice of color label is creative but wrong, we nicked named her the psychedelic popsicle, anyone that knows me usually sees me in some type of tye-dye. And the “for sissy” on the inside, this was written by Chris the body builder. We both made our 150LW’s at the same time. His says “for bub” on the inside. Just a personal FYI it was the 6th one made. Bonus for you. Sorry that I decided to put a funky serial number on the back of the head stock, but I’m the girl it had to be different. LOL Also you will find the frets are perfect I did pay the extra money to have her plecked so enjoy. She was a screamer and I do somewhat miss her but I can’t play worth crap and traded it for partial payment on a 88 Mustang with a 347 stroker motor in it. I sure can drive that! If I can answer anything else for you let me know. I can’t express enough how glad I am she is staying in the Heritage family. Katie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How sweet is it to own something like that? Better hang on to that one Lance. Thanks for the post Katie. Always fascinating to hear some of the personal detail behind a very nice Heritage.

You did a great job I appreciate it more every time I play her. Which I think I should go do. hope to see you at pspII maybe I could get you to sign the label in exchange for a beer or two. Thanks Lance p.s. I have no plans on selling her, she's a keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would definitely try to have that done. Yet another thing I love about the Heritage. Heritage Guitars is not a faceless company, but a group of really great people that I like to call friends (not just employees). And if you ever want to hear the a "quite direct response" about what Katie thinks of the Heritage vs Gibson comparison, JUST ASK HER!!! SHE DOESN'T HOLD BACK, and I for one love that!!!! You ROCK Katie!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does not look like a millie, looks like a piece of hog was hollowed and a maple cap glued on. Can you tell us how it was tooled? TKS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiro Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Dude that is effin tight (awesome). Got the whole back history man. That is all there is to it!

rooster Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 This sounds weird, but I think Heritage needs to add that one to their standard colors palette. I could use an H150 like that. rooster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
