smaj Posted April 15, 2012 Author Share Posted April 15, 2012 Well, it took two months for him to decide, but it is mine now. I'm very grateful to Marty, as he is a great person to work for and he wanted me to have this guitar. I will cherish it forever! Now to save for another 357 I think.

GASguy Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 What a great guitar that is! I love the headstock and fretboard inlays, and that top is beautiful. Congratulations on scoring a Heritage that will be envied by many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hfan Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Is that an autograph on the back of the headstock? Very nice and unique. I see a well worn guitar like that (a true relic) and I wonder about it's history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a well worn guitar like that (a true relic) and I wonder about it's history. The signature looks like it says Rocco Calibrisi. When I googled him, it looks like he is a local Chicago blues player. I'll get a picture in the gallery section also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitBlues Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Wow, that's really cool. Wonder if he played it or just signed the guitar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB, I wish I knew the whole history of the guitar, but I don't. There is the original Schaller bridge and stopbar in the old Lifton case , but the twostuds are missing as well as some of the string rollers on the bridge. I'll have to see if I can round up some parts for it. Would like to put it back to original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koula901 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I'd say the 140 should be called: The Texas Special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
