NHD 2005 H150 GT

From a fellow HOC brother.

 

Sounds simply fantastic. The neck is slightly flatter than usual. Great set up from Elderly Instruments.

 

Note the Imperial tuners!

 

Should I put the PG on or not? There's no point in pondering this- I always do.

I thought you weren't buying anymore guitars..... looks like you got 3 lately.

You've been busy Mark. Nice get. I've always like to see the wood grain

but you are starting to change my mind about gold tops. Seems to be a certain

sense of class with them. Congrats!

There is just something about a gold top w/P90's that just knocks my socks off

Two of them were trades and I got those a while back, before we messaged each other. Sold another and bought another, so it evened out.

Hey, there's wood grain. You just have to look a little harder!

Nice one!

No pickguards!!! You'll lose out on seeing that beautiful gold top if you do, plus you'll have to drill some holes in it! YIKES!

[NoNameBand]

I personally like the cream pickguard in the gold tops.

[FredZepp]

Nice one.......... a Kalamazoo beauty.

 

Although I sometimes do a LP style without a pickguard, I'd probably end up putting one on that one. Vintage correct and all..

[MartyGrass]

I haven't drilled it yet. No hurry.

[MartyGrass]

The tuning pegs aren't quite vintage correct but they work fine.

 

That makes me wonder what people will think about Heritage in 50 years. There are many permutations on every model, even the limited run of Little Ones.

Unlike vehicle VIN's which identify almost every aspect of the car, serial numbers are only as good as the records the manufacture keeps. As for the pickguard, another idea if you really want to, would be something Gretsch does. They use a clear acrylic to make a pickguard that allows the finish below to be seen without the chance you'd harm it from playing. Of course the string height is so far from the guitar on their models, I doubt you'd strike it anyway.

Yes, I thought about that after posting. Sometimes adding a pickguard makes the guitar look more familiar, like what you're used to seeing on that model. But that one could go either way and be good.
