brentrocks Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 The fella that bought Tom's Goldtop 140 asked me if i would take a trip down to Heritage and buy a tune-o-matic bridge and a Gotoh tailpiece for it, because he didn't like the Schaller hardware. So i went down there this morning. Ren greeted me at the door and i asked him if i could purchase a Nashville hardware kit for a H 140 and some cream pickup rings. He leaves the room and came back with all the goods! ;D I asked him how things were, he said everything was fine. Vince walked in moments after while i was chatting with Jack, as he was repairing a Black Millie. Vince said hi and had to rush off to grab a phone call. Soon after that Bill brought me a receipt. That's what i like about going down there...they are all a bunch of guys you can talk to and they are always willing to help. I hung out in the setup room w/ Pete and Charlie for an hour or so, watching them wire up a couple really sweet hollow bodies! It is amazing to watch them put the electronics in a hollow body, the precise moves and technique...not to put a scratch on it....working through the f-holes....that was fun to watch!!! ;D I finally felt that i was getting in the way so i left. Does anybody need anything form Heritage?....i love to go down there, pickup rings, bridge, tailpiece? ;D
Dick Seacup Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 I'll take a black and tan 157. Cool story! Can't wait until the tour/jam/thing this summer!!
JohnCovach Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 Brent: I could use an ebony bridge base with a silver tune-o-matic bridge for my 575 (to replace the wooden one). Would you really go over there and get it?

Thundersteel Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 I could use an ebony bridge base with a silver tune-o-matic bridge for my 575 (to replace the wooden one). http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Bridges,_tailp...top_Guitar.html It's rosewood, not ebony. i'll check on costs for ya if you want? Sure thing! I don't know if they sell them outright, though.

Paul Asbell Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 As the fella on whose behalf you made the trip, let me re-iterate my thanks, Brent! It's nice to know that there are places where pride in workmanship still are alive... and hopefully flourishing! Really looking forward to getting the goldtop H-140. Paul
yoslate Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 i forgot to ask Rendal...sorry ...i will next time i go down, i promise ;D Wouldn't presume you'd run errands for me, Brent! Posted that as sort of a joke...sort of. But as you may recall me posting, I sure put the hard eye on all of those pics you posted from your first trip to Kalamazoo! ....Almondburst Super with P-90's...by the way...and a 1 3/4" fretboard...Almondburst...P-90's....a Super....
