I traded this beauty away for my custom 170. would defiantly not change a thing (love the 170, Kate) but I wish I had her Back What do you wish (heritage wise) you had back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koula901 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 That certainly is a unique finish! Was that something you conjured up yourself, or it is a finish Heritage used to have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolero Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I sold a really nice almond (?) 535, great flame all over the body, fantastic gtr regret it just bought a red 535 to replace it, being shipped as we speak: hopefully the pedigree holds up!! hehe the guy who bought it was a fantastic guitarist, and gigs locally somewhere...So I feel good that I passed on some Heritage vibe to a player who otherwise wouldn't have heard of them I'll have to make it out to see him sometime.

big bob Posted November 2, 2010 Author Share Posted November 2, 2010 it was a pipe dream of "the girl". Her first Employee build.. To my knowledge My 170 was her second employee build. Both are top notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big bob Posted November 2, 2010 Author Share Posted November 2, 2010 The killer is ... I'm glad Kate has her back, but I wish I still had Her! But I know what she meant to Kate.. and I'm Glad I was the one to return her... and I got this .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredZepp Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Bigbob.. I can relate about the pychodelic popsicle. But the Custom-custom 170 fits you.. has your personal touch to it. I have trouble letting go of guitars that I like... so my ones that I wish that I had back are all old amps and an old Fender reverb unit...

tulk1 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Sold my first ever Heritage, an H157, to Cosmik in the UK. It's a beautiful guitar, but I don't miss it. Sold my first ever Millie (SAE) to a buddy here in the KCMO area. That one I miss from time to time. But, I have others to take their place, so I can take solace in that.

yoslate Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Sold my first ever Heritage, an H157, to Cosmik in the UK. It's a beautiful guitar.... I remember that 157 well, Kenny! It was quite beautiful. And I think anyone who's been here for a while will remember cosmik' as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koula901 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Okay, Guys, I'll put my therapist hat on and offer a support group on grief and loss! Have never sold a Heritage (I'm just starting to acquire them, now); but I do regret having sold a yamaha psr 640 keyborad, with great sampled sounds on it - it seems the new ones coming out don't sound as rich.

Gitfiddler Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I'm another who has tried valiantly to avoid this type of regret. Every Heritage I've ever purchased has remained in my clammy paws. I just can't imagine the thought of losing any of them. They're like FAMILY!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuz Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I only regret selling two guitars in my life. -My PERFECT Sweet 16 (that Yoslate said "Are you SURE you want to sell this?" . WHY DIDN"T I LISTEN TO THE PROFESSOR!!!) -My PRS Single Cut Artist quilt (well, at least this one funded "Greeny" but man, I would love to have back!!!)

mark555 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 The guitars I truly regret letting go are perhaps, other than the Les Paul, not too well known but were incredibly great guitars. My Heritage cherry Sunburst Gibson Les Paul Standard Tokai Telecaster in cream which played and sounded beautiful Tokai Stratocaster in fiesta red (57 clone) I will not let any of my guitars go ever again. Not all guitars can be valued by price as the two Tokai's were less expensive than Fenders, but were equally as good. BigBob, your 170 just oozes class, the 150 had something special in that the finish is unique, and it's great to have something no one else has. Sorry the guitars I mentioned are not Heritage, but I only have one, and it will never be for sale. Funnily enough, I have let three other Gibson's go and don't miss any of them - wonder why.....

FredZepp Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Well Kuz... that PRS is a looker for sure... But that Sweet 16... my oh my... Professor 'Slate tried to tell ya... Of course , you've got soooo many that are awe-inspiring, I can't feel too sorry for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Flying Bird Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I used to wish I hadn't let the old non-reverse G-brand Firebird go. The last two weeks those feelings have disappeared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steiner Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Sir Bird - when I read this thread's title I immediately thought of you and how you continuously let 'em rip. I'm guessing you wouldn't want those back though - eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smurph1 Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I still have both of my heritages but I sold a sweet Butterscotch Tele with a maple board that still brings a tear to my eye when I think about it..(sniff sniff) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikenov Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I am in the process of selling an H150 all gold that I will regret. I just love that neck and the feel of that guitar. But we all have to feed the Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skydog52 Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I've sold 2 Heritages I wish I had back. Needed the money at the time. Not a good reason IMHO. I'm working on getting one of them back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FredZepp Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Yeah , that 120 was pretty cool , when you were done with it, BigBob. It even had unusual, although original, pickups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
