Indeed sweet !!! Nice picture !! I wonder does the earlier Heritage anniversarys H150 were built by Marvin too? Or he just supervise ?

Would you show any of his handwrittings or signature off his built Heritages?

Howdy i was just thinking how lucky will we be able to find a Marvin lamb built H150 or H157 ? Any clue if we are on the hunt ? Does he particularly built a handful batch of these H150s or 157s? And which year was it are we looking at?

@brentrocks will you be cool to help me date an 80 or 90s firebird ? Typically with the inverse headstock

Just adding to the H357 i bumped on this clip and is so stoked to see this especially for the guy whom gotten it off from Marvin !!

Hope he is well and i think he is the Heritage legend ... !! To really add on the backbone of the Heritage company especially for the new owner they should think about doing some form of a retreat and do something special hahah...

Heritage should invite Marvin lamb back for a really one off reissue on these 357, 150 & 157 perhaps knowing the fact that he is a fatherly respected builder known to have build guitars during the gibson kalamazoo and Heritage days....

I have did extensive research on these Marvbird and found Marvin actually did a run of 25 pieces of these birds during 2011? Before he retire.... those have multi laminated necks and natural color... just stunning !! Beautiful !! I just wonder did anybody at Heritage inherited the Marvin lamb skill and touch on these masterpieces? Pete Farmer ?

Forgive my ignorance, for this thread it trails me down to check out on any for sale and holycow these Marvbird sells for 11k usd !!! Other than its Marvin build any special appointment on these ? I wonder if Heritage would do a release on these ? Taking the same attention and reciepe to details whom they took on the customcore?

Looks sweet taste sweet !! Just like a magnum gold

Sorry to hijack this topic didnt wanna start a new thread... but does anybody know if the heritage H150CC parson 225 paf is same as the gibson custombuckers? Taking the fact that it came from the design by Edwin wilson.... If its close how difference are these ? Does the Plarson 225 has more output than custombuckers or lesser? Which has more mids and which has more treble ? Which sounds darker ?

Damn this thread makes me wanna buy another H50CC !! But seriously as i looked thru all the web pieces... none of the flame tops are as astounding as the gibsons R9... Few were poorly matched.... yet surprsingly those internet influencers whom they gotten theirs has a crazy top !! Not sure how true it is if they got the specials.... but what i felt it could be probably true that Marketing pieces seen on the web were surprisingly beautiful yet unobtainable... Not being as ass here but i resides same country as the tycoon whom bought over Heritages... i know it business wise it gone better? But consumer wise we are not getting the same butter as advertised... from flame tops, tuners,bridges, and pots were all seem a class lower in grade... If Heritage could again up their game to bring back their nice wonderful selected tops, grover tuners but abr1 bridge it be a second to none being the best singlecut... knowing the fact it already sound so fantastic i been looking to replace the stock tuners, i was wondering if the schaller M6 would fit in nicely ?

Ouch... that sucks !!

I remember spoken to Mike when getting my H150CC as i wanted to get his help to hand select "the one" with a nice decent tone and a wild flame top.... he has gotten me the best believed but i wasnt that impress with the top yet and Mike suggested me to wait for the bespoke custom to announce and i could basically do a custom.... but didnt want the wait so i grab that existing one whom he helped me painstakingly selected.... He went thru many boxes and i strongly believe its out of his working usual capacity but he was trying to help me realise my dream H150CC, we chatted abit over the mail and was really a pleasure to have conversed with him.... I lately play thru my H150CC especially after changing modded the bridge, this beast sound and resonate like no other LP does so far whom i played not plugging in.... its thick loud and with that mid character going with a hint of high end girth going... I then thought i probably sell the other H150 standard i got and perhaps do a bespoke custom H157CC and would like to hear if anybody does.... especially price and their custom work....

Wondering has anybody here gone with the Heritage bespoke custom shop program where things could do custom according to your preference? I just wonder what will be the dos and not... ?
