Thanks - I use the Harmony when I fill in with The Skiffle Minstrels playing old timey honky tonk, swing and hillbilly stuff. By today's standards it sounds horrible but it sits just right in the mix with accordian, fiddle, lap steel and stand-up bass. Beautiful, too.

Poor photo - such a cliche! Starting a new thread about some of the details on the instrument....

CL ad alert on HOC 10/22 Heh... it seems you guys have pretty good radar... I gave him more than he was asking to make sure I got it. He was nice enough to meet me halfway between my best offer and his asking price. The repair is less apparent than the photo depicts. It's got a lot of character - I understand why you (we) all are so passionate these instruments. As I played it Saturday night, I wasn't entriely sure whether my hands were adjusting to the guitar or if the guitar was adjusting to me. It felt that connected. Like I said, it was very inspiring and I'm glad I'm off again this weekend so I can do it all over again with the same guys.

Hey all. I just got a 1999 H140 CM locally. I'd been on the look out for an affordable LP style guitar for a while and got a crazy deal on a trans red one. I am mainly a bass player but have been playing a lot of guitar over the past few years. Other guitars that are going to be collecting dust for a while are a G&L S-500 and an 1962 Harmony Meteor. I had heard the Heritage story for years but didn't pay much attention as the Strats were getting it done for me. I play bass for Alison Pipitone, who has played a 170 for quite a while as her main guitar. I was tuning her up once before a show back in the spring and let's just say it got my attention so I've been biding my time and watching for one within my reach. I dug into the 140 for the first time Saturday night (through a Traynor YGM-3) and... well.... wow. It plays like a dream and sounds great - lots of different tones in there as well. I couldn't be happier with my decision to drive 200 miles in the dark and rain to get it after work on Friday! Pics in the ad I saw are small and fuzzy - I'll snap some good ones and post them up here asap. Oh, and my name is Ben.
