dblazer Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 the top on that 140 is SICK!!!!! With all due respect to my fellow Heritage owners, I've never seen a nicer H-140, anywhere. 10thann.jpg 10thann.jpg_thumb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've thought about selling it if I could find a left handed heritage collector that would cherish it, but it wouldn't go cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blazer - it's customary to sacrifice one of your collection to a senior member of the forum (hell, I lost a Golden Eagle to Brent). Since SouthPaw is the senior lefty, you must ship it to him. If your presence here is powerful, the elders may return it; else, chalk up another one for the virgin in the volcano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your presence here is powerful, the elders may return it; else, chalk up another one for the virgin in the volcano. Before I "sacrifice" a guitar I'd have to see proof positive that he's the senior lefty. I was here when they started the forum too. Do we have membership dates somewhere? If he is senior and wants the H-140 I'd be glad to at least consider a sacrifice to him, all he would need to do is to pay the $2,500 shipping and handling . . . . . ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gitfiddler Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 Give me a H-157 quilted top in Deep Cherry Translucent. Make it as heavy as possible. Have you checked this one out at Wolfe's? Don't know about the weight, but it sure is purty, expensive...and has a chunky neck to boot! http://www.gbase.com/files/store_images/Gear/1608008/p2_utdav4pcz_so.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dblazer Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Give me a H-157 quilted top in Deep Cherry Translucent. Make it as heavy as possible. Reminds me of "Two Ton Tony", my H-150 Gold Top. The heaviest chunk of mahogany, at 13.5 lbs, that wasn't part of a tree or a boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffB Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Give me a H-157 quilted top in Deep Cherry Translucent. Make it as heavy as possible. I'm now use to the weight of my 150. I did two gigs with it during the weekend, normally I would do the last set with my PRS but not this time. The tones I was getting with my 150 w/Seth's and my Mesa Lone Star were just too infectious. I think I may have moved less during the last set from the weight but I would rather play sitting down than with out my H150. The guys I play with have all noted my obsessiveness over my 150 They've always known me to be a strat player and were a bit surprised when I didn't pick up my strat to do the SRV and Rory Gallagher tunes we do. I just cant put it down, regardless of weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mars_hall Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I really like the dark cherry finishes that Gibson used. I like the mass for the increase in sustain and cajones. I have this on a few of my guitars and really don't understand why/when it fell out of favor. You usually only see it these days on lesser Gibsons LPs and SGs. A shame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb27 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Only 1 guitar ... any Heritage? Good question. I am currently without one ... so something I have been thinking about for a while. H155 in in vintage sunburst with a set of HRWs? H535 in almond burst with Seth Lovers? Roy Clark signature? Really, I think it would be the H150 that recently left my collection. It may take a while, but it will come back home ... 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
