MartyGrass Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Wolfe's was kind enough to provide these photos to post on HOC. I received them this morning. Looks like it's the heavy, smaller version of BarryMClark's H575. Thanks to Wolfe's. How'd they think this one up?
GASguy Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 I looked at that one with guitar lust many times on Wolfe's web site. It is a real beauty for sure!
fxdx99 Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 That first photo is beautiful! Nigel would tell you to not touch it... don't even look at it!
barrymclark Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 I had also been looking at this one. Stunner guitar and I can't believe it has been there as long as it had. Good on you for getting it, Mark! That is a real beauty. Indeed, it is like the solid body version of my 575.
Guest HRB853370 Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 That's butt ugly. I wouldn't touch it. BTW, you are really outdoing Brent lately!!! Congrats on yet a third new arrival this week!

I think it will be much appreciated. Love the natural top.
Gitfiddler Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Now THAT is a sweet score!! Congrats! And you know I have a weekness for blonde 157's too.
MartyGrass Posted November 10, 2011 Author Posted November 10, 2011 Now THAT is a sweet score!! Congrats! And you know I have a weekness for blonde 157's too. Yours is a tough act to follow. Bone nut, ultra top, Mojo wiring, gorgeous mahogany, and a lighter weight than most H157s. Plus you added a few nice touches.
skydog52 Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 I wondered why this one disappeared so quick. Nice one Mark. I have had great transactions with him too.
FredZepp Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 That is a real beauty !! A great looking example of Kalamazoo Excellence !!!!
Halowords Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Yeah, that is one I really wanted (and maybe should have got, considering my reaction every time I see pics of it).
Kuz Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Yep, I am a not an ebony fretboard guy on Solids or Semis, but I have lust over that one. Perfect guitar, just add rosewood!!! ha, ha...
barrymclark Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 I wondered why this one disappeared so quick. Nice one Mark. I have had great transactions with him too. From Wolfe? I saw that one when I first saw my H575 up there. It's been a couple of years almost. All the same, I am glad SOMEBODY finally saw the beauty in these finishes other than me. haha.
heritagefan7 Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 OK, 3 a week isn't fair! (so says the jealous!) It really is beautiful---I love the finish scheme---just magnificent. Congratulations.
MartyGrass Posted November 14, 2011 Author Posted November 14, 2011 Got the H157 just now. It looks just like the pictures. The neck is medium. It's lighter than I expected at 9.9 lbs. Sprague caps, CTS pots, SD Seth in the bridge and SD 59 in the neck. I haven't played it yet. All is well with it.

Should you decide to part with it, check with me. If I am flush, I'd like to be the one to get first refusal. Thanks!
barrymclark Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 i love the natural and black combo Me too! I loved it so much... I bought the big one! haha. Did I ever tell you how much I dig my H575?
