Jim made 2 for me that year. Here was the listing. Heritage HB 2 | Reverb

Maybe these? Pickup frames (triple holes) | 1702 (schaller.info)

That turned out great. Enjoy! It's all about the Bass.

Well, this struck a chord. Pun intended. Anyone that knows me, knows there is not a bigger supporter of Heritage Guitar. I've owned many Heritage Guitars through the years. I still own more than I want to admit. 90% of them made by the original owners. Love the story and the fact that they are Made in Michigan USA. Raise a glass to Marv, Jim, JP and Bill. I'll be telling stories of them until they plant me. At $175 I bought it out of pure curiosity. If things go south on it, I have a big fire pit out back. Heritage has never had an entry level model, maybe that's what they're after?

Missouri via Chicago

What store is this you speak of?

Congratulations! I've been lusting after that one for awhile.

Nice package on that one!

It came from Kalamazoo so they might have done some set up on it.

I took a chance on one just out of curiosity. Not bad. Even has a belly cut. Obviously cheap hardware but I have to say it sounds pretty good. Set up was good. Intonation good. We'll see how long the parts hold up.

I took a few measurements on mine. 2 3/4" depth Lower bout 16" Upper bout 11 1/2" Waist 9 1/4" From Heritage old website: Sweet 16 Specs: Neck - 17 degree peghead pitch; with 5 piece curly maple neck. Multiple white bound head veneer with mother of pearl inlays. Fingerboard - Multiple white bound 25 1/2” scale ebony finger board with mother of pearl split block inlays - 20 frets. Radius is 12". Nut width is 1-11/16". Body - Single cutaway solid carved spruce top solid carved curly maple back solid curly maple rims single bound white f-holes. body size: rim thickness - 2 3/4” body width - 16” body length - 20 1/4” Electronics - One Heritage #3 jazz pickup mounted to multi-bound curly maple pickguard, one volume control. Tone control is optional. Hardware - Gold plated hardware individual machine heads. Heritage "H" bail tailpiece. Strap/Jack is in end of tailpiece.

This is a good assessment. There is a reason for the name Sweet 16, loved everyone I've played. I would add the H-525 and H-530 in the comfortable and really versatile category. P-90 love.

Very similar.

These threads come up every once in a while. I love them because I start going through all my models and fall in love with all over again.

H-157 Electric Guitar - Core Collection | Heritage Guitars

I have some really nice Customs. I have to agree with Tim on the H-525 with a H-530 being a close second. I don't know if it's my old ears but the last few years I have really been digging the sounds that P-90s are giving me. Love all my Heritage's, hard to choose.

Everything he has touched has grown.

Expect more of this. Meng is young, ambitious and has one big bank roll.

My experience is Market. Usually not making a lot on them. Most don't appreciate or know what goes into these.

The one I wish I never sold.

Double pick up Sweet 16.

Blueburst that has been all over the USA.

H-157 W

My first Heritage. Sent back to Heritage for a self-inflicted wound. Had them install HRWs and DVIP. Repair was flawless. Jack did it.

One I still have.
