Joe Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Finally gor my new H-157 on Friday.Went with Aaron Cowles to 225 Parsons St. Met JimDerloo and Bill Page, and got a tour of the factory. No production on fridays so no one else was there but it was cool to see. Thanks to JackBaruth for suggesting Aaron in an old post of mine, he's a rgaet guy with some great stories about 225 Parsons St. So H-157LW, 7.2 lbs, ALSB and 59's. Here with my H-555.
skydog52 Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Congrats Joe! That is a real beauty. Great color. Stinger and all. What pickups did you end up getting?

bolero Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 wow, that's a really nice guitar, great match for your other 535 too! congrats! is that a multi piece neck? maple or mahog? can't quite tell in the rear headstock pic...
FredZepp Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 That is exceptional.. a beauty with great features and you got the whole Parsons Street experience also. That must have been a great day. Looks like a 5 piece neck also.... sweet ! Congrats.
Joe Posted February 12, 2012 Author Posted February 12, 2012 Yes, 5 piece neck. I wanted the same neck as the 555. Same color also. As far as the wood, I'm not sure but I think maple. The two strips may be mahogany. Friday was a great day, I'm still smiling. Thanks.

TalismanRich Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Very cool... you got your own mini PSP. Great looking guitar. It really looks somewhat familiar. I wish they had made the LW version when I bought mine in 2003. I would love to have a 7# 157!

The two strips may be mahogany. Friday was a great day, I'm still smiling. Thanks. good call on the 5 piece neck. Probably will never need a truss rod tweak. That is a really nice guitar. congrats and enjoy!
Joe Posted February 12, 2012 Author Posted February 12, 2012 good call on the 5 piece neck. Probably will never need a truss rod tweak. That is a really nice guitar. congrats and enjoy! I always thought a 5 piece neck might be more stable.
Gitfiddler Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Well done, Joe! They are a great looking pair, and the matching 5 pc. neck tops it all off perfectly. Play em' in good health.
DavesNotHere Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 That's beautiful! I love the five piece neck.
SouthpawGuy Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Very very nice ! Love the finish and the stinger, and a five piece neck ... awesome ! Congrats.
schundog Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Congratulations on the new 157. That thing is gorgeous. I'll bet there's not another guitar company out there where even the pickguard can literally take your breath away! Enjoy it!

Steiner Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Just cause your left hand is throbbing, doesn't mean you can't type. So what if you played all night and have to go to work. We want to know how she sounds! Was it worth the wait? Congrats! Happy NGDs.
blueox Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Congratulations on your new H-157! That's a beaut. It sounds like you got the royal treatment at the factory.
