bert5535 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Just wondering if anyone knows where to find replacement parts for a 1985 H170. I have a B serial H170 that i got back about in 90 or so- this was my first (and last) electric guitar purchase- just haven't needed anything else from a guitar. Problem is that i lost one of the little flywheels that guide the strings and havent been able to find a replacement. If anyone knows what type is stock for that model i would appreciate the info. Thanks, i will try to post some pics at some point. bert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Flying Bird Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Hey Bert, welcome to the forum. If you are talking about the rollers on the bridge I might have one in my stock pile. A few years ago a buddy lost one of these and Rendall sent me a few of them for replacements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bert5535 Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 "Roller on the bridge" sounds like a pretty good description of what i lost- i have a different bridge on there now to keep it playable, but would love to get a replacement to keep it stock. Its a cherry sunburst with a bit of wear and tear, but no structural deformities. I just need to find my camera and i will try to get some shots on here. I was really surprised to find that it was as old as it is- i just started looking stuff up online about heritage guitars and found the serial model/year chart. it is serial model B 11301. I fell in love with it as a kid and got it for my birthday when i was about 13, had it ever since. I still don't know how to tell if its a H170 CMSM or CM. It has covered humbuckers, and a single push pull to select pickups, three knobs- i think tone, and two pickup volume knobs. Obviously I am quite ignorant of how this thing is put together, but i have played mostly acoustic and am now just getting back into my electric. I think i am going to get this little Fender Champ 12 that i found at a pawn shop for 250- its the snake-skin looking one. Any thoughts on if thats worth it?

High Flying Bird Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Bert, let me see if I can round that piece up for you. I also have a Champ 12. It has a gray snake skin looking cover on it too. Not a bad little amp. $250 might not be a bad price for it but the Blues Jr. is a much better amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert5535 Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 I would be eternally grateful if you found the missing piece. Good to know about the amp- i have a giant non-tube monster at this time which sounds like crap, so anything is a move up. let me know what you need from me to get that part. thanks again bert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Seacup Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 ..... A NEW CAR!!!! Oddly, when I first read that I wondered, "A new candy apply red what?" Need to stop looking at Fenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
