ElNumero Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Pulled the trigger on a 1988 H-170. Unfortunately the size of the photo exceeds the HOC limits so I can’t post it here. It’s OSB (seller listed it as Tobacco Burst but I don’t believe Heritage described it with that finish back then). All original, Schaller pickups are uncovered.

Dick Seacup Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 I had an H170, once upon a time. Had a ToneSucker(tm) and everything. Never should have moved it on. Enjoy your new guitar! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gitfiddler Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 @ElNumero...Congratulations, Will. I've always dug that model. With its two sharp cutaways it looks like its angry and ready to fight...or rock the house until it falls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commonly reviled as "sucking the tone out of the guitar." Hence the moniker. I have no such qualms about Bigsbys and find them to be good at that thing they do, even if it is, ah, subtle.
