tracyjm Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 I purchased this heritage guitar. The serial number is P14904 . I guess it was built in 1999 but I don't know what model it is. It looks like a Les Paul. I paid $500. Wasn't really sure what it was worth. Here's a quick picture...John
eljay Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 hey, tracy. looks like h140 or h150. if it was made in '99, it would be a 150 since the early 140s had a sharper cutaway. welcome to the HOC!
Genericmusic Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 You got yourself a really good deal is what you got. H150 I believe. Somebody else will correct me if I am wrong.
Fernando Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 I thought it was a H157, because of the type of binding.
kbp810 Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 It's a 157, fretboard and HS binding, trap inlay above the first fret, and I can see the diamond on the headstock That is an incredible deal for an incredible guitar!!!!

Thanks. Now if I can learn to play it like some of you veterans...John
TalismanRich Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 It's a 157, fretboard and HS binding, trap inlay above the first fret, and I can see the diamond on the headstock That is an incredible deal for an incredible guitar!!!! Agreed... add to that the gold hardware and wooden pickguard. It's the H157. Tracyjm, the H157 is an upgraded H150, same as the LP Custom is an upgrade over the standard. Assuming no issues, you got a whale of a deal. Check the cavity cover on the back. It should have the model information and any upgrades, such as pickups. The picture doesn't show the mounting screws of the pickups. If there are two screws per side, the pickups will be Schaller. SD or others usually have one screw per side. Here's my H157 with my Guild.
bolero Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 holy crap that is a crazy deal it looks like a 157 black beauty to me, with the square inlays & the diamond plus binding on the headstock if you unscrew the back plate it will probably have the model name as well as what pickups are in it
yoslate Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 Brent doesn't even make deals like that!!! Assuming all is well, that's a steal by any definition! Congrats!
Guest HRB853370 Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 Why did you pay so much for this guitar? I would have given $400 for it!!! Seriously, agree with all comments above you got it for at least 40 cents on the dollar! Welcome!
tulk1 Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 Late to the game, but heck yeah!! Congrats on such a steal. H157 - looks good from the pic.
