But not really. Traditionally the 137 has always had a wrap around bridge/tailpiece. This “new” version looks like an H150 sans the carved maple top. Personally I don’t like it. Glad I bought my ltd edition 137 six years ago.
Absolutely Daniel. The only reason I swapped out the Schaller hardware on my 2001 150 with the Nashville style was just for appearance . I didn’t notice any difference in sound at all after. I could care less where it was made.
Something to consider; the original Schaller hardware was actually manufactured in Germany. The ABR-1 and Nashville hardware that is used on Gibson‘s and probably Heritage too is all made in China.
Eh?? I speak fluid Canadian eh? Used to cross the big Ambassador Bridge as a youth going to the *itty bars in that country frequently eh? Yah, I get in with the neighbors to the North quite well. Eh?
Hey Tim, just realized “our” former girl didn’t have F holes like the new girl I am getting. Does that change the model designation and do you know if the internal construction the same?
