shook494 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I was wondering if anyone has played one and how the P 90's sound? I am saving for a new Heritage to go with my old H 150. I really like the look of the Korina ones at Wolfe Guitars. I went to look at some the other day in Vegas, but sadly the store I went to quit carrying Heritage! Ed Roman's store is here and he still has a few in stock but his prices are CRAZY! Plus every time I've been in his store they make me feel very inferior. Does anyone happen to know the prices of the H 137, or even a new H 150? Thanks. Shook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shook494 Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 I know. I went in there when he moved to town. I've been here for 16 years now and when he came to town he made a big scene. All the local shops basically went under because of his media blitz and he hired all of there top people. We had quite a few very good shops here and he pretty much ran them out of town. If it makes you feel any better, his store has been getting progressively smaller over the past few years ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Flying Bird Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 This is my old guitar. I traded it for a Heritage acoustic. This is a good price and it is one sweet guitar. It is a chainsaw, wide open, rocker. I had the Bigsby put on. If you can deal with one pickup and the chunky neck it is for you. Here is a link. http://www.buffalobrosguitars.com/heritage.html http://www.buffalobrosguitars.com/images27000-27999/ugb27533-heritageh137/1.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under $2k for a 157? I would say that's a good price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitArtMan Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I have the second H-137 made that I bought from Jay at Christmas time 2005 if memory serves me right. I can't remember exactly what I paid, but it was well under $2k then. As far as tone, it has tone for days! The Lollar P90s sound great clean, crunch or scream. The guitar feels solid as heck, yet is lightweight and resonant. It probably has the best clean sustain of any guitar I've owned. Great guitars, absolutley great guitars!

shook494 Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 Thanks for the input guys. I'm still trying to decide between another 150 or getting a 137. I love my 150. Best guitar I've ever had. I'm just thinking of the different tones with the P 90's. I want some more tone options and I think the P 90's will make me happy. I also really like the way the slab 137 looks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthpawGuy Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Shook ... I was in the same boat a few weeks ago , I couldn't decide on a new 150 with P-90s or a 137 with P-90s, plus the 535 "23" was in the loop as well. I was afraid that a "2 - 3" month wait would end up being 4- 6 months or longer. In the end I used the $$$ I had put by for a custom order to buy some used guitars.

shook494 Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 I think that's a good idea. I'll see if I can pull some stuff together and get both. What a concept! My wife is going to kill me.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum13 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Got a 137 Korina from Jay and love the dirty P90s and the really fat neck. Quite different from my 150 with Seth Lovers and it's tuna bridge. Its more rock & roll with twang. Cost $1700 pre-shut down pricing. :afro: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
