Perilmeglio2 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Finally...i did it! I found my 2nd H-160v! As you can see is quite different from the one I already had (on the left): the body is clear while the other is almost cream, and even the fretboard is darker. The other one has a hb SD Jeff Beck, this one is totally original! I just wanted to show you my new toy... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pressure Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 If your new H160v has the serial number, C 08603 which means it was built October 6th 1986, I used to own it. It has been refetted and PleKed to perfection. That's a Fab guitar. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perilmeglio2 Posted September 1, 2020 Author Share Posted September 1, 2020 E serial both, same age of production. The "cream one" is always on a stand and is often played, the "white one" I guess has passed most of its life in a closet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perilmeglio2 Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 The "white" seems to be older from the serial number (E 16504, the cream is E 24101). Both nice guitars and 3 Heritage in my collection! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwinking Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I guess I am a little confused. I have what I think is an H-160 (fire engine red!) but it has the traditional strat five way switch. My Stat has the four mini switches like you H-160. So is mine just a later version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perilmeglio2 Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 If I'm not wrong h-160v and Stat are different models, both have a "strato" shape but they are different. From my research it seems that only 20 h-160v were made... so I had 10% of the world production of this model ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwinking Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Hey, thanks....mine must be an H-162. It has the pointy headstock and the strat style 5 way switch. It is really light so it must have a poplar body with a Kahler trem. My Stat is a super strat style but mahogany body and maple top with binding. It has the 4 mini switches for the pick ups and set neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwinking Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Interesting....my H-160 has a serial number of E20207. They must have been building them at the same time. I thought they may have developed them over the years....like I said, mine has the 5 way switch and also a maple fretboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perilmeglio2 Posted September 13, 2020 Author Share Posted September 13, 2020 Hi everybody, after some research as you can see I found that about only 20 h-160v were made by Heritage... is it possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
