brentrocks Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 In 2008 Heritage did a batch of Korina H 137s. I remember seeing these guitars at the factory. I probably saw this one too. There were some with traps....there was one i remember with 3 p-90s in it. This is one of the regulars. The dude i bought it from added the bigsby and did a great job. I was worried about tuning stability with the Pigtail bridge, but it is surprisingly stable. I think im going to put a set of locking spirzels on it just for a little added tuning security. Its a one piece korina body and neck....BIG NECK, like my H 357. Lollar P-90s, rosewood board, spirzel tuners. It had a black poker chip but that went bye-bye real fast...looked like poo-poo! The tone is in your face, bold and fat....what you would expect from a 137. For this reason, i'm selling the walnut H 137 (second one ever made, formerly Guitartman's) in the for sale section.
tulk1 Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Makes a nice set, Brent. Were they all wrap tail like that one? Perhaps you should sell any blue guitars you have; don't want to clash with all that natural Korina. Just thinking.
schundog Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Dude, you have been a 137 MAGNET lately! Nice grab.
Spectrum13 Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Got one from that batch too.The fat neck and Korina P90 combo are pretty special. Enjoy it Brent.

NoNameBand Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 I would think a roller bridge would contribute significantly to tuning stability in addition the the tuners. Nice guitar.
FredZepp Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Ah... the buttery warmth of Korina.... done right, the Kalamazoo way. With that wood , the Lollar pickups and the Bigsby, that one has the right stuff.
brentrocks Posted January 19, 2012 Author Posted January 19, 2012 I need to find a locking tailpiece. Like the old LP juniors
smurph1 Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Dude, you have been a 137 MAGNET lately! Nice grab. LOL!! He certainly has!!
smurph1 Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cl4em4vYLqc gotta Love those P-90s..Well, you don't gotta, but I do!!
brentrocks Posted January 19, 2012 Author Posted January 19, 2012 I just found some locking studs on eBay. Between those and the locking Spirzels I ordered, that's gonna be the ticket!!
smaj Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 The best wrap bridge if you can get one, is a Fender Techtonic bridge. Individual intonation, string height, and a saddle foe every string, plus it locks! I have two of them left, Fender used this about six or seven years back on certain Tele's and strat's.
DetroitBlues Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 I need to find a locking tailpiece. Like the old LP juniors You should find some creme plastic to match the 357....
