brentrocks Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 In the Schundog spirit, I went pawn shop browsing today. Its kind of ironic, the one pawn shop is in the building where Dillons Music used to be on Cork st in Kalamazoo.... I walked in and saw this beautiful VSB H 150 behind the counter! I asked to see it. Noticed a headstock repair right away! Let the haggleing begin!!!! They were asking $1185....i laughed We came to an agreement...OHSC included Got it home, cleaned it up, took out the SD 59ers, installed the Pete Flourance VOODO 59 pickups i got from KUZ. Its a H 150 Classic, one piece back, medium C neck, rosewood board....2003 Thanks Brian for the inspiration!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Flying Bird Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Nice finish Brent. I know the pawn shop you are talking about. It's across the street from a super market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalismanRich Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Very cool deal. Looks like its got a little honest play wear on the back of the neck. I remember the first year I came up to K'zoo. I spent part of the afternoon riding around trying to find some music shops. There were supposed to be two on Cork St but only one was open and I think he was closed by the following year. One of them had to be Dillons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schundog Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Very nice, man! Congratulations; you never know WHAT you are going to find in those places. VSB is, in my opinion, one of the best finishes on a 150. Rock on, bro! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jsnlmcclrg Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 were you the guy that got bit by the pitbulls? I must have been gone before that, i heard them talking about finding the case for the heritage, and figured the only thing i would have bought just got sold, in fact they were passing the guitar over the counter for closer inspection when i was walking out.
