brentrocks Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Another shot on EBAY pays off! I recieved a beautiful 1987 H 170 Custom today from my ever-reliable UPS man. Custom because of the block inlays, bound headstock and MOP logo....maybe even an ultra top (if Heritage did ultra tops as an upgrade back then?) Appears to be all original, Schaller hardware and pups, Grovers. There is no fret wear on this one...and its in a solid 9.5 condition! Must have been stowed away for quite a few years, because the frets were almost rusty, very corroded. So i tore it down, gave it a good cleaning and a new set of DiAddario 10s...and plugged her in! WOW!! A fabulous sounding H 170! Great neck, super low action!!! I'll have a clip later.
FredZepp Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 That one has a lot going for it. Great top and really nice mahogany back and neck. And the headstock is very nice. A long narrow Heritage headstock with inlay and binding... you don't see that every day.
yoslate Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Outstanding lumber! As fine a 170 as I've seen (except for John's..the one about half the HOC has owned...which I still wish I could've snagged...but I digress), a stellar specimen! Terrific score, Brent!
schundog Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 You don't mess around with the average lookers, do you Brent?! Great guitar, congrats. Now, take that Rhythm/Treble washer off!! (Please. Or don't. It just looks odd to me with the switch where it is. I have issues...)
