brentrocks Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Another great EBAY Heritage find! This is a 2004 Heritage H 150 Special. This is a very unusual 150 Special, mainly because the H 150 special is usually.... a lower grade top, rosewood board with dots, cream binding, plastic pickguard and uncovered pickups. This one must have been a custom order, one-off...because this baby has all the bells n whistles!!! * premium top* custom paint* ebony board* trap inlays* chrome covered pickups* flamed maple wood pickguard* black binding on the body and neck This guitar had been sitting for a very long time. The frets were severly tarnished! Dirt and filth enbedded on the body. I had to take polishing compound to the body to get it clean! The truss rod was way out of adjustment...the action was a mile high (maybe used for slide?) So i took it apart, ploished the frets, cleaned it all up and set it up with a new set of 10s. This baby is a ROCKER!!! The stock Schaller pickupos sound great in this guitar. The bridge pup is crisp and punchy, great rock tone! The neck pup is fat n warm! It has a medium/chunky neck....very good feel to it overall. The guitar, as a whole, for being over 9 yrs old, it in spectacular condition!!!

tonedeaf Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Pretty neat! I had that one on my list, but then you distracted me with the 150 you had for sale. But then the forum became unavailable to me and by the time it came back up you had already sold the 150 I was interested in. And then, by the time I got back to the blue burst you had already bought it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonedeaf Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Very nice. But an interesting chain of events for me: 1. I was working the blue burst. 2. You distracted me with the 150 you put up for sale. I was going to send you a PM but the site went down (for me at least). 3. By the time I got back on the forum it was already sold. 4. By the time I got back to the blue burst, you had already bought it. 5. But then I would up getting the orange and red 150 on feeBay at a price I thought I would surely get beat out on. It seems to be raining 150 on forum members! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yuominae Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Wow, that one sure cleaned up nice! I was sort of on the "wtf, it's blue??" when I saw it on ebay, but with the grassy background and the sun on it, it looks like a little gem! Nice buy Mr Brent!

tbonesullivan Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 So, what is he body wood on it? Weren't the specials usually poplar or something like that? or is it more special than the usual special? Definitely a unique instrument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
