DetroitBlues Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I was talking to KBP about a FreeCreditReport.com commerical that featured a guy playing some funky Gibson that looked a lot like an Epiphone Wilshire... We were discussing a H110 with F holes that would look very similar. That brought up the question. What has Heritage made more in the past few years, the H357 or the H110? We know the 357 is not on the "menu" but the 110 is. I can't remember the last NHD being a 110.... Any thoughts??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum13 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Lots more 357s on the HOC. I can't think of more than a couple of 110s. Any dealers stock the 110s and other than retailers and the factory website, without the HOC who would even know the 110 exists? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitBlues Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 I think some HOC members don't know what they are... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skydog52 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I asked Marv recently what model they sell the most and he said H-535s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HRB853370 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I asked Marv recently what model they sell the most and he said H-535s. No surprise there. But I would like have a .357 in my arsenal too!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuz Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 535s then 150s & Archtops a close second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackBaruth Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 That makes sense. The pricing for the Gibson 335 is simply WAYY out of line. $2800 for a plaintop, $3500 for a figured top. I paid $3400 for an ES-339 Exclusive at the Memphis shop a couple years back, before I started really buying Heritages. The 535 is considerably cheaper and offers the added benefit of being built in Kalamazoo instead of in the Memphis "custom shop". With the Les Paul and H150 the pricing lines up about the same. An H-150 is priced heads up with a LP Standard. The H-357 costs about twice as much as a new Firebird but it's cheaper than the CS Firebirds and of course you get what I would consider to be an instrument of unprecedented quality.

DetroitBlues Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 Anyone have a H110? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuz Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Anyone have a H110? I think two memebers have one. That might be close to the total number produced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitBlues Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 Which makes you wonder why Heritage still promotes them, but not the 357's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitBlues Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 Just by coinendence, the exact guitar KBP and I were discussing came up in CL. I guess its a Gibson Vegas High Roller. It really does look like a 110 with F-holes... http://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/msg/2841435801.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum13 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Last trip to 48 street NYC I thought this looked like a 110. Never saw a Gibson model name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitBlues Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 that looks like a LP DC, but I've never seen one with the blocks or the flowerpot inlay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitBlues Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 Last trip to 48 street NYC I thought this looked like a 110. Never saw a Gibson model name. Just found it... A rare model, but its a Gibson Les Paul DC Longhorn... http://www.gibson.com/en-us/divisions/gibson%20usa/products/gotm/longhorndoublecuths/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackBaruth Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I am chiming in late, but yeah it's a Longhorn DC. They are typically going for about $1600. On the positive side, they are a unique body shape and they have flowerpot headstocks. On the minus side... stupid tiny blocks and EMG pickups/wiring.

blueox Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Anyone have a H110? In my opinion, one of the best axes to come out of 225 Parsons St. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
