Somebody tell me about "The Fire"

[schundog]

I've heard some of you mention that there was a fire at Parson's Street a few years ago that nearly did Heritage in. Anybody have any details on this?

I wish that I had a better memory for details.

 

Ren talked about this at PSP II and showed us the damage that you can still see to some parts of the ceiling.

I believe that he said there was 4 inches of water in the shop when it was done and that they had to replace a really expensive elevator in the building.

 

Anyone with a better memory, please correct me....

Warning: There are controversial comments, including headstock, manufacturing and marketing criticism. Nothing new though.

ahh....this solves a big mystery with my blue H150CM

 

it's a factory 2nd, but the only thing I could find wrong with it appeared to be water damage

 

the lower bout has some raised grain, underneath the finish, that I am certain is is due to water. plus some minor finish checking around the bottom & back

 

until now I assumed that happened while someone owned it....but I wonder?

 

 

I bet it got wet from the sprinklers or something
