TheDr Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I have a 1985 (B20505) Heritage CM 140 That has a Carved Mahogany top. I was told it is a one off guitar. Can anyone prove or disprove this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mars_hall Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Look at the label within the control cavity. All mahogany would be a H140M, whereas curly maple would have H140CM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitBlues Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 The first prototypes were all mahogany, so it's not a one off, just an early example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDr Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 My mistake, it is an H140M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitBlues Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 You've got your answer, so tell us about yourself and this fine piece of Heritage craftsmanship you have in your hands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDr Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 My name is Bob, known to my friends as Doc. I had a dozen Heritage Guitars but sold my 555, 575, Stat Standard and one of my 140s. I now have a CM150 Delux Limited Edition (89), H140M(85), SAE (89) Sweet 16 (89), Stat Deluxe (89), Heritage Bass (89), HFT 445 (88) and a 535 (89). Alos a 78 Firebird, a 62 Gibson B-45-12, a 57 Strat a 55 Tele, 3 Ovations, a Dobro and two vintage Danelectros, last but not leaste a Gold Tone Banjo. I would be interested in trading something for a Golden Eagle, if there is one oout there looking for a new home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gitfiddler Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Hi Doc~ How'd you get so addicted to Heritages without hangning out here first? Very nice instruments, and welcome to the HOC!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Ron Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Sounds like 1988 and 1989 were really good years for you and your Heritage dealer. Your 140 is a fine and seldom seen piece. Welcome to the club and congrats on a great collection! (like your off brand stuff too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
