DetroitBlues Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Saw a thread of FB today asking who has H140’s. One gentlemen posted a triple humbucker H140 in Rose Natural. My first thought was a refinish after the triple pickup install or it’s Antique Natural. But no, the cover says Rose Nat. Any other unique finish names out there?

TalismanRich Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I wonder sometimes why my H140 doesn't say "Clown Burst" on the control cover..... ? My H-535 says Faded Cherry, which is apparently different from Transparent Cherry. Some of the newer 535s seemed to me more opaque than transparent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious why I never saw that color listed in the old color options. Or am I just becoming forgetful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HANGAR18 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 I'm pretty sure I took this guitar to a PSP one year. Not sure. I loved everything about this guitar, including the black binding, just not the neck carve. Super thin neck carve I couldn't deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockabilly69 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 What color is my H150? The outside edge definitely has an orange hue! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly still the same although I did swap the Schallers for Motor City Pickups Angeldusts. It was great before but even better now. Also had my luthier do a proper setup and replace the nut with an unbleached bone nut. The stock one got too deep on the D string and needed to go. Neck carve never bothered me. It wasn’t as thin as some guitars I’ve owned. Could stand to be a little thicker but definitely playable.
