tino Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 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% Cheers Jeff....if your ever in the good ol UK give me a shout I owe you a beer or several Thanks Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, expected anyway. So give, whats the details? Color scheme, weight, etc etc. 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 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.

FredZepp Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 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 ? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffB Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 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.

cod65 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Furniture Art!! absolutely stunning. this is why skinny 70's rockers hung their Pauls on their 'frontbottoms'.

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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pegleg32 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 A wonderfully classic beauty Tino. Just hoist it up and play it till you drop!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalismanRich Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 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. + on H157s! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
