MartyGrass Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Here it is from 1994. 10.4 lbs with a medium neck. (I thought it would be beefier.) The control cavity plate sticker simply says white H157. It plays very well. There is lacquer crusting at the back of the neck heel, which is inevitable. Otherwise it is in showroom condition. The crusting case be eliminated with a touch of white nitro, but it will eventually come back, so I'm told. Here are some pics. They are from my cell phone. The best representation of the real color is the one with the guitar in the case. http://s796.photobucket.com/albums/yy249/mgoetting/White%20H157/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredZepp Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 That one just has a LOOK to it. Sweet guitar. And it's 17 years old and looks to be in great condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schundog Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Super nice, Mark. I'd tell YOU to put it under the bed as a collector's piece, but I wouldn't be able to keep my hands off of it, if it were ME! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyGrass Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 The seller was adamant that it was NOS. He buys musical instruments in lots and got this from a long closed shop. It looks like NOS. I pulled off the hardware to check for tanning lines. It was actually more yellow under the TP, probably from the oxidation. Pete Moreno checked it out today and gave it a clean bill of health. It sounds like a good H157. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
