DetroitBlues Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 On Friday, I was fortunate enought to help an HOC member purchase another Heritage by purchasing this beauty from him. This is a 1985 Heritage 140CM in Vintage Cherry Burst Grover Tuners Schaller PU's, bridge, tailpiece, and straplocks. Small Block Inlays OHSC
FredZepp Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Yeah.. rock n roll. That one will have some good wood in it. It's interesting the logo is inlay, but with no headstock binding. Nice burst and top.
Steiner Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Excellent! That guitar looks like it's been loved all 25 years. No case queen there... I Really like those inlays (mini blocks?) What a cool look and piece of Heritage!
DetroitBlues Posted March 1, 2011 Author Posted March 1, 2011 From what I understand, this might be a rare model indeed. The very first run of guitars from the factory in '85. Might be a custom order too. Oh, forgot, its got a tummy cut too!
H Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 You waited and now you've been rewarded Could we have some clips of her through one of KBP810's amps?

koula901 Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Sweet! I, too, like the mini blocks; and the stinger in the back. And didn't I read, in another of your posts, how it sustains so beatifully! Enjoy!

pegleg32 Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Very lovely guitar there DB, that one is worth hanging onto.
mark555 Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Beautiful! love the block inlays, they remind me of two guitars I had many years ago. That surely is a guitar to keep. The sunburst is lovely. Who was its previous owner?

And didn't I read, in another of your posts, how it sustains so beatifully! Enjoy! The sustain is killer. I'll sweep up a high e bend on the 16th fret and it just rings forever. Love it!
DetroitBlues Posted March 1, 2011 Author Posted March 1, 2011 How would you describe the neck on yours? My 140 has a really chunky neck.. but that is not always the case.. I'd say its a thinner neck, more of a D profile. I compared it to a 2005 H-150 and the H-140 is a lot thinner. Could be the reason for the factory headstock repair....
DetroitBlues Posted March 1, 2011 Author Posted March 1, 2011 Oh, and if anyone knows anything specifically about this guitar, please let me know! I'm at least the 3rd HOC owner of it.
mark555 Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Oh, and if anyone knows anything specifically about this guitar, please let me know! I'm at least the 3rd HOC owner of it. I'd like to be the fourth!
DetroitBlues Posted March 1, 2011 Author Posted March 1, 2011 I'd like to be the fourth! I plan on making myself the last!
mars_hall Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 I plan on making myself the last! Oh yeah, That one used to be Scott's if you didn't already know. smurph1 Gallery
smurph1 Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Oh yeah, That one used to be Scott's if you didn't already know. smurph1 Gallery Yep..Sniff Sniff..
FredZepp Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Ohhhh. I didn't make that connection. Interesting to see that one again.
DetroitBlues Posted March 2, 2011 Author Posted March 2, 2011 Oh yeah, That one used to be Scott's if you didn't already know. smurph1 Gallery Yep, and I've been talking to him about it. Found out a little more history on it, turns out he broke the headstock only last year. Its a great guitar and Scott knows how much this guitar means to me already....

Its a great guitar and Scott knows how much this guitar means to me already.... I have been corrected, my guitar is a 1984 Heritage made on the 318 day of the year...
Steiner Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Didn't that guitar come through the Heritage dealer (pusher) in Paw Paw?
