koula901 Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Announcing, my latest tone monster: H 150 CM LW. Weighs 7.4 lbs and I love her. This was a total HOC effort. I was first told about it by Southpaw guy, across the pond, it was listed in Craig's list in Boulder, CO. I'm in New England. My dear friend Larry (Eljay) was a sweet heart and met the guy, and the guitar and checked it out for me. It's perfect - in great shape, except for a few minor scuffs - it is a 2007 and it was a great deal. Lefty and light -- a rare combination, at the right price, I jumped on it and am ecstatic. They call it a clownburst, because you love it so much, it makes you smile! Major Big Thanks to Southpawguy and Eljay for making this happen! Without their help, I wouldn't have it. Gotta love a great community like the HOC! Hooray for us! : ) The pics don't do it justice - it actually has some real nice grain to the top.
SouthpawGuy Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Congrats Katy, looks great ! Glad to be of assistance to another HOC'er !
kbp810 Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Congratulations on the NGD! Another fine example of HOC members helping HOC members
fxdx99 Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 How exciting! Congratulations, Katy - love figuring on that top. Wow, 7.4lbs is REALLY light, even for an LW. Big plus. SD59 pickups in it? Looking forward to seeing some vid of that with you.
Guest HRB853370 Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 I see nothing wrong with that finish. Congratulations!
koula901 Posted April 4, 2012 Author Posted April 4, 2012 The tone is wonderful, nice and articulate. I probably should remove the control panel one day to see if I can discover what kind of pups - all I know is they SD's and I'm guessing Seth Lovers, but I don't know for sure.
koula901 Posted April 4, 2012 Author Posted April 4, 2012 A day early! What do you think of the tone? Awesome! Has a lotta balls! Love that! And, very articulate. And the weight is so perfect, I could stand all night with that.
yoslate Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Dig the mineral stains...they always add character! Congrats, Katy! Nice piece!
koula901 Posted April 4, 2012 Author Posted April 4, 2012 I see nothing wrong with that finish. Congratulations! Very nice, Slammer. Pups?
Blunote Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Congratulations Katy, look like a sweet guitar. From the look of it, I'm pretty sure it came with Sdhallers which were later changed out for something else. My 150 Deluxe came with SDs and pickup rings with only one adjuster screw hole on each side. I think you'll have to remove the pickups to see what they are.
Genericmusic Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Yup, she's a looker and probably a tone monster. Congratulations!
bolero Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 wow Koula that's beautiful, congratulations!! IMO anyone who calls that finish a "clownburst" is a clown themselves....that's the color those old Gibson's were originally ( cherry sunburst ) and if they hadn't screwed up the paint/dye, they would have held their color it's a sad misnomer that the internet has spawned....and of course it has negative connotations, completely unwarranted I prefer to call it "cherry sunburst"
RhoadsScholar Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Cherry Sunburst, ClownBurst, it's all good. Nice guitar you got there.
schundog Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Congratulations, Katy, that's sweet. With a 535, a 137 and 150, you have completed the Heritage Trifecta! Man, first PunkKitty's Prospect, and now this sweet 150; It's Ladies Night on the HOC!
koula901 Posted April 4, 2012 Author Posted April 4, 2012 Congratulations, Katy, that's sweet. With a 535, a 137 and 150, you have completed the Heritage Trifecta! Man, first PunkKitty's Prospect, and now this sweet 150; It's Ladies Night on the HOC! I guess it is. And yeah, I like to think that I've got most bases covered with the Heritage Trifecta.
DetroitBlues Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Very nice Katie! Congrats! Is your Heritage request complete now?
