If I'd known that, I'd have offered them $200 for it

hey amazing! great article the truss rod history with his father Rem chamfering the nut was fascinating, I never knew about that! And it's funny: I never knew the development history of Bigby's, but after I got my first one I wondered why they didn't just drill holes in the roller bar. Now I know the answer: they did originally, but strings were breaking and Ren came up with the fix they still use. Thanks for writing/posting that. Here's to The Honorable Ren-aissance man!

That is bullshit customer service. I have SLE-101's in a H157 & they sound fantastic. So those must have been defective. I have imperials in another H150 & they sound fantastic too. Can't go wrong with either. Sounds like yours were wrnog though!

aha, interesting!

that is cool! what's the deal with the knobs in ch2 inputs? and congrats!

It's gotta be fun to buy a guitar at the factory, walk outta there with the newly acquired axe in hand what a souvenir!

https://www.triplett.com oops. wrong triplet.

Nice tripletts! Good comparison of the cutaway horn on Heritage & Gibson, too

are they the same weight? heavier tuners will affect sustain & sonics, weight makes a difference remember those weights they used to sell, people would attach to the headstock?

haha!! Congratulations!

Amen!

🤣

Beauties!! Cherry Sunburst is such a classy finish

That is a nice looking top! How about a pic of the whole guitar?

Hey congratulations. Those are some good pics too

Another good one is "perfect sound forever"

wow congrats skydog I saw that email, it said they're only making 40 of them?

I just previewed that book on google. A really good read. Will track it down & buy it thx for the headsup

that is pretty kickass!! wow a real piece of history there too

I think it's the same as G uses, most music stores should have a truss rod wrench that fits

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

is the walnut one the 3rd in from the right? those are all very nice. If I had to pick 1 it would be a tough decision

That is a pretty insane collection of H357's!! So what's the story on why Marv decided to start making them again?

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?
