MartyGrass Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 This is an unusual find. A 1994 true NOS. It was in a music store in the boondocks of Pennsylvania. The store closed a long time ago. The person I know bought some inventory, including a few guitars. He wasn't sure what this one was. No crazing or checking. Pristine he says. I'll probably put this one in storage. Who knows? Is there any special care for a white finish to prevent checking?
golferwave Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 In PA? I think we've seen that one before. The music store was trying to get a large sum for it as it kept appearing on ebay.

brentrocks Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 that is pretty...i wonder why it doesnt have a MOP logo?
FredZepp Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 I LOVE the look of that one. Very nice. I realize that my 157 is really hard to beat when I'm grabbing an axe. There isn't much that could improve on a nice 157 !
DetroitBlues Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 My '85 has no checking. Just watch the humidity with it. The only thing that's really going to happen is the white will turn yellow...
MartyGrass Posted June 14, 2011 Author Posted June 14, 2011 Nice. BTW, great pic of you. Is that in your youthful days?? That's Johnny Mathis.
MartyGrass Posted June 14, 2011 Author Posted June 14, 2011 that is pretty...i wonder why it doesnt have a MOP logo? That's a question for Heritage to answer. I had another H157 from the 90s with a stenciled logo. Maybe they sometimes ran out of inlays. I agree that it doesn't look like MOP, but we'll see.
MartyGrass Posted June 14, 2011 Author Posted June 14, 2011 My '85 has no checking. Just watch the humidity with it. The only thing that's really going to happen is the white will turn yellow... I think it already has started to yellow, which I like. What does the humidity do?
big bob Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 I think it already has started to yellow, which I like. What does the humidity do? Just makes her that much better.. nice find Congrats..
DetroitBlues Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 I think it already has started to yellow, which I like. What does the humidity do? causes the wood to swell then retract. That will cause the finish to check as the wood expands back and fourth below the finish.
kbp810 Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 I think it already has started to yellow, which I like. What does the humidity do? Very nice MG I'm actually not a big fan of white guitars... until they start to yellow!
DetroitBlues Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Very nice MG I'm actually not a big fan of white guitars... until they start to yellow! That's all part of the mojo!
schundog Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Nice!! But you said the LAST one was the last one until September; I'm sorry, but you can't play this one until September, Mark. Put it away. Rules, you know...
kbp810 Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Nice!! But you said the LAST one was the last one until September; I'm sorry, but you can't play this one until September, Mark. Put it away. Rules, you know... Well said Schundog, MG, to help stave off any temptations to play it, I'd be happy to "store" it for you until September - just trying to help out a fellow member
squawken Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Arrrgh! Thar she blows!! I looked at that one a few years ago. At the time he wanted too much for me. Probably came down in price by now. Congratulations!
tbonesullivan Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 NICE!!! Just make sure you keep Ahab away from it.
DetroitBlues Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Well said Schundog, MG, to help stave off any temptations to play it, I'd be happy to "store" it for you until September - just trying to help out a fellow member I'd be happy to Quality Assurance test it for you while KBP is storing it... You know, kind of like a car that needs to be driven once in awhile to prevent flat spots on the tires...
Hfan Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Wow, very nice and NOS as well. Looking forward to initial review.
