Millennium Maestro Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 I just aquired a nice 2003 near mint 157 Classic that came through Wolfe's shop. Just gave her the full checkout and adjust to my playing style. Very fast and Straight neck, perfect Fret job, Bone Nut, Duncans, Inlayed Headstock, VSB finish... Enjoy, you know I am!
tulk1 Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 A 157 with nickel/chrome hardware? Excellent!!! Nice, understated top on that one, too.
yoslate Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Not really a fan of 157's, MM, but that is a really handsome piece! Love the contrast of the pick guard (and p'up rings and ebony board, as well) to the top, and the block inlays look terrific!
DetroitBlues Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Now that's a thing of beauty. Where's the truss rod cover? Getting a custom made one?
schundog Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 I love the top on that one, and I dig the pearl block inlays. I'd take the pickguard off, but that's only because EVERY Heritage I have didn't come with a pickguard!
FredZepp Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 A 157 with a sweet look to it. The top looks more active in the first photo.. different angle and more subtle with more grain showing in the second pic. Either way ...beautiful. That top finish is really quite awesome. A great look and fairly unique in a 157. And, of course, it will be a great player. Congrats.
Millennium Maestro Posted July 12, 2011 Author Posted July 12, 2011 Now that's a thing of beauty. Where's the truss rod cover? Getting a custom made one? I just had it off for truss rod adjustments. Thanks for all the kind words, I will get more pics when I have time.
koula901 Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 MM that's a nice guitar! I might get one that color, someday.
brentrocks Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Nice snag Guy! On a 3 inch screen it looks killer.......lol
Steiner Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Nice Guitar M2! You know, for a guy in a padded room, you talk real normal; that's good!
GASguy Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Very Classy Guitar! Love the color and the figure in that top complements the VSB finish.
golferwave Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 Very nice one Guy! How much does it weigh? Beautiful VSB finish!
heritagefan7 Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 MM--beautiful---love the finish--it looks mint--enjoy!
High Flying Bird Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 Nice guit Guy. Shame you can't bring one to Michigan with you.
NoNameBand Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 Nice catch MM. It looks great. I like the appointments as well including the Bone nut ( nice detail) and the VSB. Congratulations.
fxdx99 Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 Congrats, Guy - nice! What's not to like about VSB (that black pg really sets it off nicely), ebony board, bound/inlays - a beauty.
Hfan Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 Maestro, Is that your first 157? If so, welcome to the club, they are great instruments. Enjoy and use it in good health.
Millennium Maestro Posted July 13, 2011 Author Posted July 13, 2011 Nice Guitar M2! You know, for a guy in a padded room, you talk real normal; that's good! LOL... I do live in a padded room sometimes. Very nice one Guy! How much does it weigh? Beautiful VSB finish! I wish I had an accurate scale, statically it feels average, not a tank and not a feather in 157 perspective... Just average Nice guit Guy. Shame you can't bring one to Michigan with you. I have been debating bringing one of my girls to the dance for the AUG4 event... Jusy dont know which direction to go... Then I need to commit!
Millennium Maestro Posted July 13, 2011 Author Posted July 13, 2011 Maestro, Is that your first 157? If so, welcome to the club, they are great instruments. Enjoy and use it in good health. She is #5, I have 2 black beautys and This 157 currrently.
