brentrocks Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I took a chance on a 1998 H 150 DLX on ebay and it paid off! It came via UPS today. It is in near mint condition (except for a cracked neck pup ring...lol) When i opened the case i was blown away by this rolling, swirling, lofty quilt maple top. And was equally pleased to see a 1 piece back. I bought it from the original owner, he must not have played it much...no buckle rash, no fret wear, no dents...just light pick marks and polish swirls....i was lucky to find an honest seller. I put a fresh set of 10s on it and fired it up. It does have 59ers in it, and typicaly i'm not fond of them, but they are a good match for this beefy, tight mahogany grained, mass of tone! I think i might leave them. The rosewood has some nice straking to it, and the neck is a nice med. C. The OHSC and standerd paperwork was included. PICS: Without flash... With Flash... And a family pic for s**ts & giggles...(the p-90 H 150 is at Pete's for a fret level) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum13 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Another one of a kind. Pretty top and headstock. What happened to the soap bar 150 in the family shot? Sold it to Scuba200ft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LK155 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Awesome, Brentley. You don't often see a Heritage quilt, but that one's beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredZepp Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 That is a wild top. Cool guitar. I'm not sure what I think about the pickguard, doesn't quite match to my eye. I'd maybe take it off and fill the hole, show all of that top! I like the '59's for classic rock and they are flexible for different types. Not as open as Seths or something like that , but I like the tone. Even though it's hard to see, I believe that this will have a "gut cut"... as a Deluxe. I like it, nice looking mahogany also.

brentrocks Posted December 1, 2010 Author Share Posted December 1, 2010 Thanks for all the kind words everybody! I found some parts tonight to try a transformation...i thnk it looks a lot better??? I would rather have had a Heritage P/g, but this is the only one i had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbp810 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I normally like the look of matching PG's; but on this I think the cream really works well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Much better with the cream colored plastic. I guess the truss rod cover is next? Beautiful guitar. I hope you don't take offense, but, I would change out the Schaller TP and bridge. Tone pros locking ABR1 and TP. But, that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredZepp Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I like the new look even better, it looked awesome from the start, but would still like it naked (no pickguard) and fill the hole. On that one , that style of pickguard looks too small to me.... (my $.02) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guido Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Brent, that guitar is definately a looker! I have to say that I do like the new pickguard better, but I would use no guard at all to show that great top. Once again congrats to an astonishing guitar!
