Heh... it seems you guys have pretty good radar... I gave him more than he was asking to make sure I got it. He was nice enough to meet me halfway between my best offer and his asking price. The repair is less apparent than the photo depicts.
It's got a lot of character - I understand why you (we) all are so passionate these instruments. As I played it Saturday night, I wasn't entriely sure whether my hands were adjusting to the guitar or if the guitar was adjusting to me. It felt that connected. Like I said, it was very inspiring and I'm glad I'm off again this weekend so I can do it all over again with the same guys.

Greetings and Salutations to all of the newbies!
Ben, I see that you have a '62 Harmony Meteor. Cool gitfiddle! My first electric was a Harmony Stratotone single p'up, flame maple body. You've got good taste too!

Thanks - I use the Harmony when I fill in with The Skiffle Minstrels playing old timey honky tonk, swing and hillbilly stuff. By today's standards it sounds horrible but it sits just right in the mix with accordian, fiddle, lap steel and stand-up bass. Beautiful, too.
Hi people, this is Damian real name, DFire as internet nickname.
I'm here for a conseil.
I'm searching for a Les Paul for industrial rock/metal genre like Nine inch Nails, Celldweller, Marylin Manson, ect..
What Heritage Les Paul do you conseil me?
Under 1000 dollars is possible to find a Heritage in very good condition? or is better a used Les Paul Studio by Gibson?
Thank you,
Greetings from Italy.

Welcome! I hope by "conseil" you mean "counsel?" Also, Heritage doesn't make a Les Paul; rather, they are called H150 or H157. The H150 is similar to the LP Standard, whereas the H157 is similar to the LP Custom. Either the H150 or H157 should do what you want--they rawk!
Hello DFire,
There are some $ 1,000 bargains that happen on a Heritage... and also, they did make some more basic versions from time to time. Ebay has some good deals often....
These are the real deal in solidbody guitars... handmade in Kalamazoo of the finest woods, just like the most treasured guitars out there. ( which , as you might know , were made in this plant , on these machines , by these people , of these woods.)
There are not nearly as many Heritage guitars out there to buy as the mass produced brands, so sometimes you've got to look for a while. But the prices right now are really nice.
I think that the pickups will make a difference in what works best for you... of course you can just change 'em out. The Duncans will be good, the schaeller ones I'm not sure. It's time to search for some to try in a store maybe... if only to check out the different models.
And if you haven't been there, check out the Heritage site for info and read their story...
Heritage Guitar Site
You will find that Heritage provides a quality of guitars that usually costs much , much more...

Hi, thanks for your welcome. Well I mean counsel that is an advice ("conseil" is advice in french, sorry for my mistake). I know about The Heritage's history that's why I simply call Les Paul the models H150/157.Anyway considering that my preferred bands like NIN or Celldweller use Les Paul Standards and Les Paul Custom..
What Heritage model do you suggest me? the 157?
(I see her as Black colour (mine favourite) in some pictures on the web and I really love her...but i'm not so sure cause 150 is very beatiful too)
Thank your again,
DFire.
Hello! thanks for the answer. I know about the heritage's history, that's why I'm here looking around for advices.
Well, I find on e-bay that sometimes the price of a new heritage is even more than 2000 GB pounds. That's a huge price for me and my pocket.
I will search to find one here where i live, like I always do...I think that I will find a used one (hoping in a very good/excellent condition).
Do you think that age of a heritage is important (i.e. a 92 model is better than a 2008 model)?
Pickups are not a problem, cause I think I will put Duncans.
However, as important question, what is or what are the most known online stores with a very good price guitars in USA which I could buy a Heritage guitar?
(if is not possilble to write here please PM me ).
Thank you again,
Damian.

Hello Everyone!
My name is Fernando here, there, and everywhere. I decided to join this wonderful community a few weeks ago, when I ordered two Heritage guitars from a local guitar studio. I’ll tell you about them once they arrive, in a few more weeks. My first Heritage is a different one, however, and has already arrived here. I’ll explain. Once I placed the order, I registered here and started visiting this site. I didn’t want to post anything, because I was a member without a case. I started coming here every day, however, and that’s when I came across the wine red H-150 on sale by Cryoman, just after he decided not to sell it anymore. I asked him about it (if he would still consider selling it) and he agreed to sell it to me, fortunately. Let me say this about the experience, before I say anything about the guitar: Cryoman is a super nice guy and it was a pleasure to do business with him. I wish the world would have more people like him.
Now, about the guitar: simply wonderful. What an instrument! It looks perfect and it sounds perfect! I am so happy to finally own a Heritage and I am planning to attend the next pilgrimage to Parsons Street, this coming summer.
So, I am no longer lurking. Here I am. It’s a pleasure to meet all of you!

Hey there Fernado,
I'm glad that you moved beyond lurking...
And you were fortunate to grab that wine red H150 from Cryoman. I just knew from the pics that it would be sweet....
The new ones on the way should be really special.
Do you care to disclose which models you have coming in.....? H150"s?

Welcome, Fernando!
First of all, congratulations on scoring your first of three Heritages. I agree with you that Cryoman is a peach of a guy. I'm glad he was able to sell that sweet 150. It had the 'Cryoman-Mods' that made it a much better gitfiddle.
Secondly, to ALL of the lurkers out there, COME OUT OF THE CYBER-CLOSET! Drop us a post once in a while, if only to say HELLO. This is a great forum to hang out at.

Hey Fredzepp, thanks for the welcome. I was going to disclose which models when they arrived, but since you asked, here it goes. One is a black H-157, with chrome (instead of gold) hardware. I ordered the H-157. The other one was a bit of a surprise for me. I managed to find a Little One in mint condition. It has one pickup at the bridge and one volume control.Hey there Fernado,I'm glad that you moved beyond lurking...

Hey Fernado,
You may already know that I'm a fan of H-157's, I trust that you'll enjoy yours as much as I do mine.
It's my "go-to" guitar right now.
And the Little One will be cool. Can't wait to hear about that one..
I don't remember anyone giving us the low-down on those rare birds....
Have a Happy New Guitar Day and keep us up to date on what's coming in...
