This is Heritage Guitars. Why can't they do whatever they want? They did decades ago running on a shoestring budget. Why with the backing of big money and modern building technics can't they make more guitars? The H-357 is not rocket science. The H-137 is a really great instrument and the jazz boxes that made Heritage famous are missed by some Kalamazoo guitar enthusiasts. Just wondering if it is time for Heritage guitars to go back to some of the practices that brought them to many players attention in the first place. Seriously, I already have enough Les Paul shaped guitars and they are only as good as I am a player. Come on Heritage, make something new! y2kc

I agree ,the 137 seems to be a no brainer. Yes to a tele style set neck. possible with the same headstock as a 357. The Heritage "custom shop" of old was a beautiful thing. You knew who you were dealing with and they were up for shenanigans. I have a Heritage that Marv helped me with. It stands out. y2kc

To bring back some classics? How about the H-357, Stat and H-140? It gets a little boring seeing the same shapes coming out of Kalamazoo. This is just my personal opinion but I feel that if you have seen one of these current H-150's, you have seen them all. They say that variety is the spice of life. Please Heritage, bring back some spice. y2kc

I am glad that this has come to an end. Making music should not be this hard. Good luck with the search and thanks for the great story. Also watch your back, that girl sounds nuts. y2kc

SRV used some big strings but also tuned down a tad. It is amazing how much tension is removed when tuning down a half step. My son grew up playing with 11's because of Stevie but at the age of 35 he has changed to 10's. His hands are very strong and he is enjoying the change. I hope to bring him along with me this year to psp. RIPSRV, Y2kc

The Bluesboy is the only modern G&l I am interested in. What pick-up did your guitar come with in the neck position, a Seth Lover? I have heard the Bluesboy is a wonderful guitar. Tim Page at Buffalo Bros. designed that with G&L. Good to hear you are digging the Fralin, y2kc

Thanks for the invite. My name is Casey and my handle here is y2kc. I currently am the owner of a "c" series h-140. I have been a collector of pre-bbe G&L's since 1991 and recently have started to focus on early h-140's. If anyone would want to make a trade, I am open. It has taken a little tweeking but I am beginning to understand the Schaller pickups. Leo Fender chose those as well for some of the 1980's G&l's he made. Didn't like them then and don't really like them now. Lurking here has helped me learn a tad about the Heritage guitars. I am not a big fan of modern day Gibson and Heritage fits the bill perfectly. Thanks, y2kc
