Guitarbean Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 awesome guitarbean! That is a nice collection of archtops. So what is your take on floater vs stein pickups? And did you avoid guitars with two stein pickups? I'm all inclusive That said, I gravitate toward the floaters more often, but I've been experimenting with different flat wound strings and it's opened up my ears to different sounds. Generically speaking, what you here is true given my experience with these archtops. Floaters sound the most acoustic, 1 set in pickup less so, and 2 pickups the least. But there are so many variables, that one can dial in a great sound after getting to know the instrument. I will eventually downsize though, but it will be tough to choose.

HANGAR18 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I can't think of any other Heritage guitars that I think I would ever need. To me, I feel like thses cover all the bases I would need covered under the "vintage guitar" category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOGBOY Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Some family members have left the nest. Just a couple. I don't even dream this good, WOW!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitarbean Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Feel free to post your group photos of all your Heritage guitars. The idea is one single photo with all of them in the same frame. Couches are very popular for such a photo. Post them if you've got them. I love that red 535. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank67 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Here is my Heritage family, they are all absolutely outstanding in their own special way. Finally they are all united :-) For some reason I always felt that a golden eagle is best in antique natural, a 555 must be red and a 157 must be black ... they are a family of my dream guitars. The all sound incredibly sweet and play like butter. It is such a treat to be able to play such wonderful instruments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HANGAR18 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 For some reason I always felt that a golden eagle is best in antique natural, a 555 must be red and a 157 must be black I can't argue with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank67 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I can't argue with that. :-) ... sweet guitar in your Avatar! wanted to add - they all have similar neck profiles. I like substantial necks with a round profile but no baseball bats - these are just perfect and play soo nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it coincidental that we placed our black H157's and red 535/555's in the same relative positions for our family photos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millennium Maestro Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I really debated showing this old picture from years ago because alot of these guitars are gone now, moved on to new homes...

Well, the sequence black-red-gold would coincide with the german flag ... But I am not suspicious of elevated levels of patriotism - it just looked good this way to me (it is also in sequence of body size). Your family shot also looks gorgeous!

schundog Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I can vouch for the fact that Maestro is very particular about his guitars, too, so there's not a stinker in the bunch!! About time you shared that picture, Guy! I know very few of us knew the dept of your addiction!! Haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockabilly69 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 The only pic I have of the two of my H150's together is with my R0 Gibson. The pic is pre-mods on the newer H150. I think it looks way better, and works way better, with the pickguard (and all the other mods) on the H150! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
