    I thought about ordering an "H-357 Magnum" once How would you spec that out? I was thinking of gunmetal blue/grey paint, matching headstock, reflective metal pickguard a la Neil Young, vintage firebird spec pups

    is the walnut one the 3rd in from the right? those are all very nice. If I had to pick 1 it would be a tough decision
  3. bolero
    Heritage will probably sell you one

    That is a pretty insane collection of H357's!! So what's the story on why Marv decided to start making them again?

    the old one I have has an all mahogany neck. Not sure if they were all built like that. the body dimensions are slightly different too. We had a thread about all tthis a long time ago, probably lost when the site went down interesting topic though. Some of the more fascinating guitars Heritage ever built.

    Well I guess the name has stuck I've always called them Heritage H357's. I'm not sure what ticked Jim off: it was at a PSP & maybe everyone else was fawning over them earlier. Jim is a master guitar builder too. maybe we need a "Jimbird"? I'm sure he's built a lot of Eagles I think the early H357's were all mahogany?

    I heard Marv explain 357 naming inspiration too I was strolling through the factory once, talking to Jim Duerloo about my H-357 I didn't call it a Marvbird, I just mentioned the 357 Marv built for me & how amazing it was... He said " THAT IS A HERITAGE GUITAR!" in a strong voice & walked away So I don't know who started calling them "Marvbirds" but it might rub some people the wrong way

    I never liked those rotary switches either. That's a good option!

    I think he BOUGHT Bigsby, didn't he? 1966-1999 according to this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigsby_Electric_Guitars 1966 along with co owner John Huis here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_McCarty I think that reflection is just the inside edge of the bigsby arm

    beauty! you probably don't need that bar across where the old tailpiece was, since the B7 has a bar already. For a B3 or B6 without a roller bar. it might be useful though.

    apparently if you duct tape the headstock, the gtr is worth more money to collectors

    It's all about the bananas baby. Too bad the Andy Warhol signature model never saw the light of day. Come Mr Tallyman, tally my bananas. Day-oh. Daayaayay-Oh. Daylight come and I want to go home.

    Wait until you guys see my AI/robot guitar factory. It's going to put everyone else out of business!

    I can't remember who built their jazz floater pickups before? Someone local to Kalamazoo? they sounded good. I think they were all Humbuckers? I don't think the Schaller pickup design would work as a floater, it's too deep. Maybe if you got rid of the cover & modded the baseplate.

    Jim is still in the shop sometimes too!
  23. bolero
    agree! and Bob & Bill, those are amazing H137's. You lucky SOB's!
  24. bolero
    Make sure you credit the original photographer who took that pic! He got rather pissed off when I didn't one time: I was unfamiliar with photography etiquette, and try to avoid doing that since then

    those are nice pickups!
