DetroitBlues Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Yep, Ladies and Gents, I have a 150 on the way. More details to follow upon arrival this week....
pegleg32 Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Way to go DB!!! Now you are on the road to tone nirvana for sure!!!!
kbp810 Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Way to get back into that Heritage Saddle! Between this and your SRV Strat acquisition you are doing well my good sir, very well indeed
DetroitBlues Posted June 18, 2012 Author Posted June 18, 2012 Way to get back into that Heritage Saddle! Between this and your SRV Strat acquisition you are doing well my good sir, very well indeed Dare I say complete? .... Nah, Still like to have a Cherry 535 and a 445.
PunkKitty Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Beautiful! Of course looking at this isn't helping my 150 GAS at all.

kbp810 Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Beautiful! Of course looking at this isn't helping my 150 GAS at all. You know there's only one cure for that! It's a shame that GAS isn't considered a genuine medical condition yet... think of how many of us could finally be cured of GAS if only doctors could write prescriptions for Heritage Guitars
Guest HRB853370 Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Dare I say complete? .... Nah, Still like to have a Cherry 535 and a 445. I have a Heritage 535-cherry finish-free financing through 2013.... Way to go DB!
SouthpawGuy Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Yep, Ladies and Gents, I have a 150 on the way. More details to follow upon arrival this week.... ... and about time ! Congrats, that looks like a nice one.
schundog Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Congratulations, DB! We were about to revoke your club membership if you didn't do something soon, haha. That's beautiful. I know you'll do it justice.
bolero Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 hey Congrats!! That is a killer guitar, I will miss it
DetroitBlues Posted June 18, 2012 Author Posted June 18, 2012 Congratulations! How about some specs? I don't have exact specs, but its a factory 2nd, Seymour Duncan Seth in neck and '59 in bridge. Med thickness neck (not 50's thick, but not 60's thin). Back and neck are stained blue as well. Not sure about much more than that, its all that I know. Made in the USA, exported to Canada, and now coming back to the USA.
Blunote Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Sounds like a player! I've had Seths and 59's installed in one of my guitars, but never one of each. Even so, I'm sure it's a good combination.
yoslate Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 DB, is that Scott's? Congrats on a good score; different, but very appealing color!
bolero Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 actually it has a pearly gates in the bridge honestly I think it was my best playing 150; it was fairly light & I really liked the neck the inlays have a slight blue tint to them as well, which sets off nicely against the finish but it does have some scars when you look up close I also wired it 50's style....no guarantees on the prettiness of my soldering skills, though

I can rock out some ZZ Top with the Pearly Gates! 50's wiring is fantastic too. All the scars means it's ready for the stage, no need for that new guitar babying thing...
Trouble Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 I like the Pearly Gates pup had one in my Lonestar Strat. Congratulations Detroit. I may be behind the times but what happened to the 140?
DetroitBlues Posted June 19, 2012 Author Posted June 19, 2012 Sold it to another member that appreciates the wood and the slim profile neck.
koula901 Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 Way to go DB, nice one!!! And the color blue is so appropo for Detroit Blues! : )
