bolero Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 I was looking at my new millenium eagle, and I really dig the larger headstock started thinking; you know what would look killer? a black H157 with the larger eagle headstock... they could call it an H157 Eagle

That would be a looker. I have a 170 on order with a Sweet 16 size headstock bound and tricked up. Heritage headstocks are status symbol. If I might quote another member.

skydog52 Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 That sounds nice, will it have a five piece neck like a sweet 16? You cant go wrong with a custom 170! Yes indeed five piece neck, bound everywhere, phat cats,nickel hardware cannot wait. Probably a long build. Must be patient!
NoNameBand Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 I'm surprised Fred didn't do a mock up yet.
kbp810 Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 I'm surprised Fred didn't do a mock up yet. Paging Fred, come in Fred... I would love to see a mock up of that combination! (strike that, I would love to see the real thing!)

I would love to see a mock up of that combination! (strike that, I would love to see the real thing!) Ha.. I tried to do a mock up once.. I put the Centurian headstock on a 150... no one was too thrilled with the results of that one... The 157 Eagle with a 5 piece neck and larger headstock sounds interesting...
kbp810 Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 I don't want to steal Bolero's idea... but I'm planning a custom order to be placed very soon and got a 157 on my mind, so I found this to a be very intriguing concept to consider
bolero Posted January 12, 2011 Author Posted January 12, 2011 go for it!! I'm thinking of custom ordering one as well, lol but it'll have to wait, I don't have the funds to be buying any more guitars for a while >.> *edit* would it have to be a 5 piece neck? couldn't they just use wider headstock wings? although I guess a maple 5pc neck would be interesting too
Gitfiddler Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Are you thinking your 157 headstock would look somethin' like this?
bolero Posted January 12, 2011 Author Posted January 12, 2011 I took a 157 from their website & stuck a super eagle neck on it...not sure if I got the scale right though? headstock may be a *bit* big? it definitely looks more "loud & proud" though
bebove64 Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 I took a 157 from their website & stuck a super eagle neck on it...not sure if I got the scale right though? headstock may be a bit big? JAZZROCK!!! Yeah amazing!
bolero Posted January 12, 2011 Author Posted January 12, 2011 and here's the eagle millenium that gave me the idea....headstock scale should be the same?
FredZepp Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Dang , Bolero. That looks cool. Great job with the mock up...
bolero Posted January 12, 2011 Author Posted January 12, 2011 aha!! I cheated in photoshop & did a quick hack job...this is what I was thinking
big bob Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Yes indeed five piece neck, bound everywhere, phat cats,nickel hardware cannot wait. Probably a long build. Must be patient! mine took Kate around 8 months.. but that was on the sly.. yours may be quicker. Oh and defiantly do the gut cut.. well worth it!
tulk1 Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 and here's the eagle millenium that gave me the idea....headstock scale should be the same? I'm surprised you didn't start a fire taking a pic of the Millie with that box so prominent in the background. Kinda like mixing Whole milk and Skim milk. Just asking for trouble.
bolero Posted January 13, 2011 Author Posted January 13, 2011 hahaha....well that is a pic the seller took before I bought it my girlfriend is a camera freak, she took some nice pics I wanted to post, but her PC is messed up so can't get them off the cam card to be honest I do have a bunch of Gibson guitar boxes, they seem to be easier to find for shipping gtrs
rjsanders Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 aha!! I cheated in photoshop & did a quick hack job...this is what I was thinking ... pretty similar to one i tried to custom order a couple years ago. diffs: black p90s, pigtail wraptail bridge, couple other things...
skydog52 Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 aha!! I cheated in photoshop & did a quick hack job...this is what I was thinking I like that even better. When are you ordering?
kbp810 Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 For some reason I didn't really dig the look with the natural finish... but it looks really sharp on black!
bolero Posted January 13, 2011 Author Posted January 13, 2011 ha...won't be ordering anything anytime soon! too broke & paying off debts however if I sold both my H150's I could probably swing it...how long is the wait? 8 months or so?
bolero Posted January 28, 2011 Author Posted January 28, 2011 well, screw it...I can live off kraft dinner & raman noodles for a while I just emailed the guys at Heritage to see if they'll build it...I hope so!! to be honest, they could make it a regular production model: "H157 Eagle" has a nice ring to it
