Wrinkleygit Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Having spent some time with my new acquisition, scratch plate removed, original tailpiece refitted, restrung with my favourite DR Veritas 9-46, truss rod adjusted together with pickup and pole pieces tweaked. The original Schaller pickups are still in the case, it came fitted with Sunbear paf’s from a small UK maker, they sound too good to remove and I’ve emailed them to try and get some more info. On the back of the scratch plate were the letters asb in pencil which I assume means Autumn Sunburst, the frets are barely marked and the neck is in great condition , it’s no 019 of the Deluxe series. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pressure Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Fab guitar. I think asb refers to " Antique Sunburst". There might be a sticker under the control plate with this information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spectrum13 Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Pretty I liked the "before" look and the cutaway completes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalismanRich Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Looks good! I'm a big fan of Heritage's wooden guards. You can tell that's an early model between the cutaway and the triangular guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millennium Maestro Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I believe she also has the PRE Lawsuit Gibson bodycut! That flame maple pickguard is sweet, love the veneer flames headstock also.. Here is the ol" girl I rescued and had one of the Kazoo masters refinish! Enjoy you girl! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalismanRich Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 My H157 is Almond Sunburst, and it's ALSB. Pressure has it right. Antique SB. It's funny that their chart is "incomplete"! The H535 that I have is labelled "Faded Cherry". It's perfect, goes well with the shirt! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swept up and threw away all the bat turds before everyone setup, only to find out it was the family fertilizer B/C Sr. Henderson got quite upset. Sadly as you can see I did too good of a bad job! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalismanRich Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 I remember covering the equipment after Friday night so that the bats didn't bomb everything overnight. Saturday, we just removed the coverings and fired the amps back up. Good times, for sure! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
