Sticky Posted October 2, 2010 Author Share Posted October 2, 2010 Well I still haven't heard back from him yet. I'll give him a few more hours before I call him on the phone. High Flying Bird, I hear ya on the lighting and how digi cameras see things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuz Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Sticky that is a GORGEOUS guitar. There are a lot my VSB guitars than AMBER. I would keep it DEFINITELY!!! Here is a pic of my VSB 150 And here is GOLDEN AMBER 575 (the golden amber is almost double stained so it's like a dirty amber over the flames) My Point is HOW COULD YOU NOT LOVE THAT AMBER GUITAR YOU HAVE???? WOW, AND IT'S AN ULTRA TO BOOT!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredZepp Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 I see no burst in the seller's pictures at all. I can agree with that.... But maybe he was thinking it was more of a Lemonburst , which doesn't really have a burst to it often, from those pics. It's a tough call, and mostly because the listing says it's a Vintage Sunburst. ( nice guitars there, Kuz... I never see too much of those... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koula901 Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 sometimes the 'burst' in vintage burst is not very pronounced, and appears not to be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tulk1 Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 I'm just playing devil's advocate here, but thinking that if the pics didn't show a burst maybe an email to the seller before buying would have saved some real hassles. Kinda like making sure the drugs have worn off before buying left handed guitars. .. Of course, this is all in hindsight which makes it so much easier to give out sage advice. But I can completely understand thinking it's a VSB and getting Amber, and being disappointed. For that cash, you should get what you want.

Sticky Posted October 2, 2010 Author Share Posted October 2, 2010 sometimes the 'burst' in vintage burst is not very pronounced, and appears not to be there. This...and what High Flying Bird mentioned above about digital photography. Combine that with the guitar being purchased new from a Heritage dealer and being advertised as a VSB. In person, the color looks nothing like it does in ANY of the pictures. Gorgeous guitar though, but not VSB. Sticky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golferwave Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I wonder if he was confused? If you go on Gbase and type in Heritage H-150 you'll see that this seller has an Amber and a Vintage Sunburst listed. Both are still there as he's not removed the one he sold you. The Vintage Sunburst one is stunning in it's own right. Look em up...maybe he'll trade you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mgoetting Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 It's back on eBay. And it still says VSB. I sent a message to the seller correcting him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 That's definitely an amber finish. I have a VSB H150 here in my home. It's nothing like the one in the picture. Although, the one pictured is truly beautiful. The curly maple is classic ribbon curl and I love it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 John . . . I don't know if this is the first time I've ever seen the picture of your VSB H150 .. .but this is the first time I've really noticed it. It's really gorgeous!! The top has tremendous personality. I mean no one here any any offense bythis, but that top is classic 1959 Gibson Les Paul. While I have seen many beautiful guitars here on the HOC . . . there are now 2 that I lust for. Your VSB H150 and Gitfiddler's (I think it's his) 1993 Golden Eagle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sticky Posted October 16, 2010 Author Share Posted October 16, 2010 It's back on eBay. And it still says VSB. I sent a message to the seller correcting him. Yes, I saw it yesterday but haven't had the time to post. The seller admitted his employee made a mistake in the Ebay ad. Why they put the same ad up again is beyond me?
