H140 version 2 questions

[TimE]

Hi,

I am new to the forum and am currently lurking/looking for a H140 (used) to add to my guitar obsession.

I really prefer the look of the version two, but since I know I can only afford used, I am curious how long the version two has been made.

I can't seem to find this anywhere on the forum?

I would also be curious about differences between the version one and two, besides the horn and slight body thickness change?

Primarily interested in the sound/feel differences.

Any swag on vers 1 and 2 used prices would also be welcome. I can see some for version one, but have yet to see any for 2 (used).

thanks for your time

thanks for the note

I looked at all of the posts under H140 and "version" and have had no luck.

I will try and figure it out somehow.

Hi TimE

 

Just call the Heritage factory. Ask your questions.

I think the problem here is that we don't have too many, if any, members with the 2nd Ed H140s on the site. If by chance I swing a Heritage solid body, it'll be the H140 2nd Ed. There was a stack of the bodies out at the tour this year. Except for the size, they looked just like the H150s. Here's the pic. It's an H150 on top, H140s below.

I thought that there was someone fairly recently that was telling us how the 140( 2nd version) .. was just right.

 

But I can't remember who that was.

 

It's weird the search for 140 or H-140 doesn't turn up much...

Hey, Tim. Welcome to the HOC.

 

You also might check with a couple of Heritage dealers about the 140 2nd edition particulars.

 

Wolfe is probably the best source, but Eddie's has two Anniversary 140's for sale now. I know you are looking for used, but at least they have the 2nd edition specs laid out on their website.

Also, ignore their listed price. If you call you'll get a MUCH better price.

 

Good luck.

I am a big fan of the 2nd version of the H140. All that is good to love in an H150, in a slighlty more compact, slightly less heavy design. I have had H150's and I now have an H140. No way in a blind test that I could tell any difference in tone, sustain, or playability between the H150 and H140. Really under appreciated guitars. I'm not a fan of the pointy version, but I love the soft cut version.

Hey! What's wrong with the pointy version?

 

[pcovers]

Nothin' wrong with pointies. Just not my cup of tea. I can see how it would be someone else's, though.
