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
the old one I have has an all mahogany neck. Not sure if they were all built like that.
the body dimensions are slightly different too. We had a thread about all tthis a long time ago, probably lost when the site went down
interesting topic though. Some of the more fascinating guitars Heritage ever built.
Well I guess the name has stuck
I've always called them Heritage H357's.
I'm not sure what ticked Jim off: it was at a PSP & maybe everyone else was fawning over them earlier. Jim is a master guitar builder too.
maybe we need a "Jimbird"?
I'm sure he's built a lot of Eagles
I think the early H357's were all mahogany?
I heard Marv explain 357 naming inspiration too
I was strolling through the factory once, talking to Jim Duerloo about my H-357
I didn't call it a Marvbird, I just mentioned the 357 Marv built for me & how amazing it was...
He said " THAT IS A HERITAGE GUITAR!" in a strong voice & walked away
So I don't know who started calling them "Marvbirds" but it might rub some people the wrong way
