There's a chestnut sunburst 157 out there that still haunts my desire list. She's a 3-holer if I remember correctly. What a beauty!

Thanks, but she's resting at the moment. :icon_smile:

 

Got a 147 that count?

Why not! It is so beautiful, it makes some 157's jealous! :icon_silent:

This one gets a LOT of play time. The twin Seths sound particularly sweet and clear.

And "three-holer" CNB just woke up from a long night of carousing around with her three screaming HRW's at full volume.

Mine's been around here for a while, and posted a number of times.

 

She's my first Heritage.... a 2003 that was ordered for my 50th birthday. I always liked the block inlays, the gold hardware and the bound headstock of the LP Custom, but never even considered buying one. Then I played a 150 at my local dealer. That led to a conversation about Heritage, and the fact that I could order one customized to pick out the color and options that I thought I might like.

 

My Almond Sunburst H-157 arrived a few months later,. These days, its a bit heavy for me to hold for any long period, but she still plays and sounds great. So I pull it out, sit down and let fly!

Agreed Polo! Some awfully nice guitars here.

Tulk, was that one an Old Style Burst? Absolutely gorgeous! That reminds me I need to buy my raffle ticket for that Camp 157 before too long.

 

The 157 is what got me hooked into Heritage. I'll have to get some nice pictures loaded up and tell my story.

When Steiner was driving us to PSP2 we discussed buying you and the Lady Guit airline tickets to PSP3. We would fly out to the left coast and take this beauty and drive back in rented cars using fake IDs. The thought of your drum playing brother with a Louisville Slugger cooled us on the scheme.
