gpuma Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Guys, I need some help. I want to order, in the next few months my custom made Heritage. I am thinking about one of these 3: H110 H157 H170 What kind of customization would you guys do for each one? I know it's a matter of taste and preferences, but I just want to know what the options are and what goes with what, if you know what I mean
Guest HRB853370 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Oh Lord, you should get a zillion replies on this one. Let the you know what hit the fan boyz! I couldn't begin to tell ya as all I ever bought was used Heritages!
DavesNotHere Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Make it easy on yourself, order one of each!
gpuma Posted February 17, 2012 Author Posted February 17, 2012 Make it easy on yourself, order one of each! ok. who's paying?
gpuma Posted February 17, 2012 Author Posted February 17, 2012 just to be clear, I like this three because one is a classic, one a classic with a "spin" and one is just different. I never actually saw a 110, just heard sound clips but i really like it
DavesNotHere Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 ok. who's paying? Details, details... I'm more of a big picture guy
mtpatty Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 H-157 VSB; Seymour Duncan Seth Lover's... I am easy to please!
gpuma Posted February 17, 2012 Author Posted February 17, 2012 Details, details... I'm more of a big picture guy more kind of a big wallet guy :-o
Trouble Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 H-157 VSB; Seymour Duncan Seth Lover's... I am easy to please! Pretty close to what I'd get, H-157, splitblock inlays,doublebound body,in VSB, black back, neck and sides, Duncan JB/Jazz pups, and locking bridge and tuners.
Trouble Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Oh and congratulations on whatever you get!
eljay Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 you will have instant mojo with a 110; they are funky in a good way and very uncommon. almond sunburst or old-style sunburst (not to be confused with vintage sunburst) with traps on rosewood fb would be a delightful guitar. good luck with your quest! eljay
TalismanRich Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 I would go for the 157 in an LW, Pearloid tulip tuners, split block markers, in either VSB or ALSB, although a nice deep wine color would be nice. Medium 3 piece neck with asymmetrical cut and bone nut, There are lots of options for pickups... I would have to do more research on that part. RS Guitarworks wiring harness for the electronics.
brentrocks Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 I would order a H 110 with the premium wood package, trap inlays, bound/inlayed headstock and a JB/59 pickup combo
yoslate Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Think, too, about nut width (1 3/4ths vs. 1 11/16ths), and neck carve ( baseball bat, "C," "D"), chambered, rosewood or ebony board, Bigsby.... Doing a custom order is really exciting! Have fun with this!
drfie Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 My 2 cents: H157, Emerald Green, Black hardware, split block inlay (I don't like full blocks on ebony) H170, Sunset burst, trap inlays I'm not a fan of gold hardware. pups are such a personal thing I have no comment. dan
rjmajik Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 In the future I may try to order a Milli Ultra - Dark Wine Burst - Abalone and MOP inlays - Floentine cut - with Seth Lovers Sorry, really doesn't address your question but I couldn't help it
Gitfiddler Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Interesting question. Have you scanned the HOC Gallery for something that came close to what you like? If so, just copy and paste the image over here and we can all jump in with even more suggestions.
DetroitBlues Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 I would order a H 110 with the premium wood package, trap inlays, bound/inlayed headstock and a JB/59 pickup combo I'd say the same, except add a single f hole.
gpuma Posted February 17, 2012 Author Posted February 17, 2012 gosh... they all seem great ideas. I have still few month before I pull the trigger, I will be coming back to this topic over and over... Not a lot of h170 fans out there??
smaj Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 H157 in natural with a Duncan Jazz/Seth Lover combination. It is just like the one in their catalog.
bolero Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 how about a 157 Eagle, with an all-mahogony body, like they made the LP customs in the '50's?
