Got home this evening to find a nice big brown box waiting for me.......inside a rather nice 157,a quick inspection and then a tune and I was ready to rock"n"roll...baby...yeahhhh.

Then I realised I sold the Marshall and was going to have to make do with my Peavey Delta Blues......limited but still sounded pretty damn good....................Bloody Heavy though...gonna change the string gauge tonight and set the intonation to suit but all in Im very happy with the guitar from this sites very own jallen.

Would trust this guy 100% :icon_thumright: Cheers Jeff....if your ever in the good ol UK give me a shout I owe you a beer or several

 

Thanks

Just put the camera on charge will get pics uploaded to photobucket in an hour or so and then send the link...I never realised just how heavy a 157 would be,gonna have to get a wider strap :icon_thumright: Or it may be that Ive spent so much time recently playing a 6lb2oz Esquire that I need to build myself up again for this one.

Better start working out. Need to be in your best shape to play a Heritage on stage. Think of our reputation.

Beautiful Finish !!!!

 

It's a cool idea on a new Heritage to read the label in the control cavity to see if there are any special notes.... Generally it will note your guitar model and finish in any case.

 

 

It appears to be a H-157 in OSB ( old style burst ) with S Duncan pickups ..('59's or Seth Lovers ? )

Nice. Really nice. Play it and enjoy it. It seems familiar. Has some one else here looked after that one for a while?

My h150 is heavy. Used to think too heavy to play too toneful not to. Now I dont notice that weight at all. Just the warm fat lead tones and big fat rhythm sounds.

Way to go Tino. A classic 157. Always liked that color.

Beauty! Rock it Hard and play a tune for your new princess, another beauty. :icon_biggrin:

Furniture Art!!

absolutely stunning.

 

this is why skinny 70's rockers hung their Pauls on their 'frontbottoms'.

 

(I think there's a DVD idea in this - some sort of 'Rocker WorkOutt' series......hmmmm...$$$++ )

Its very, very beautiful. I see a 157 in my future someday. Make sure you install staplocks if it does not have them. You don't want that prize to hit the floor. Did you get it from an HOC member?

You need a 535 while you build up your back and shoulders, old son ;)

Nice one Tony.

 

I understand what you say about the weight. You MUST have a wider strap. It seems to help to move around rather than just standing and playing.

 

+ :icon_thumright: on H157s!
