majorage Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, behold the one and only (as far as I know) double quilt top H-157. And one of me in action Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredZepp Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Excellent... Quilt front and back w mahogany center... The finish is cool too. BlackandTanandBlack ... Thanks for the pics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schundog Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 SSWWWEEETTTT!! I almost thought it was a H-155, with the front and back like that, but the pickup switch and lower bout obviously make it a 157. Nice guitar, and welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majorage Posted August 15, 2010 Author Share Posted August 15, 2010 Thanks for the welcome, it actually was supposed to be "cobalt blue", but it ended up being "cobalt purple". From a distance, though, it does look black, or at least dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like you have a good time rockin' on this axe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majorage Posted August 15, 2010 Author Share Posted August 15, 2010 Unfortunately, the finish is so dark the quilt is kind of hard to see, and I don't have any other good pics. She's a sweet axe, though. Not great for metal, which is my style of choice, but when I'm playing with some friends in their classic rock band it is perfect. The Seth Lover pickups aren't super high output, but the EQ on them gives them that awesome midrange cut. It's a nice departure from the rest of my metal guitars.

barrymclark Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 I really dig this duo tone stuff Heritage has been doing! A real beauty you got there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majorage Posted August 15, 2010 Author Share Posted August 15, 2010 Thanks, Barry, I'm glad you like it. This one was totally custom to my specs, and I don't think the guys at Heritage were thrilled about it since I ordered it in 2004 and received it in 2008. 3 1/2 years of waiting, Ren will tell you i"m a persistent $@%&.

Geez! But it looks sweet though. Put a different pickup in the bridge and it will do metal. Seth's are just awesome for jazz though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majorage Posted August 15, 2010 Author Share Posted August 15, 2010 Well, I have another 157 in white with a 500t in the bridge and it takes care of the metal just fine. It also is one of the sweetest playing guitars I have ever found. Some guitars just have that magic that makes them play like there aren't any strings at all.

FredZepp Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 I can pickup a little of the blue /purple in the pic, nice. And yes, this guitar can lean more towards some higher gain sounds with a pickup change, but the Seths are sweet for classic rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
