PunkKitty Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 I got 2 NGDs today. I'm moving to fewer, but nicer, guitars. I'll post NGD #2 in "The Family Tree". Here is my new used Heritage H-140CM. There were some questions about the fretboard wood. It's a very dark colored rosewood. I'll be keeping my Heritages, my Carvins, and my Telecasters. I'll probably sell my Strats. I haven't decided if I'm keeping my Gibson Les Paul 50's Tribute or not. I have a few semi hollows that are going too. Anyone want to buy a guitar?
heritagefan7 Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 Again (from NGD #2 post)...AWESOME KITTY---This is beautiful!

Gibson 50's Tributes are probably one of the best Gibsons made on recent years and one of the few that actually gone up in value...
DetroitBlues Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 But that is a killer 140. Traps always look better on those over dots...
PunkKitty Posted June 23, 2012 Author Posted June 23, 2012 I haven't decided on the Les Paul yet. I do like it quite a bit. I'll keep my USA Peavey Predator or my Malden Utopia as my Strat. The others go. I have a 95 MIM Strat and a 6 month old HSS Highway One that I'm getting rid of.
schundog Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 I used to have a Gibson Les Paul Classic that looked a lot like that, other than the sharp horn. I think I'd rather have your 140 than that LP! I hope you enjoy it!
Blunote Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 One of the best looking 140's I've seen. From the pics, the fret board grain looks either raised or open (cracks). If it's dried out you might want to hit it with some conditioner. If it's raised, a bit of steel wool might smooth it out.

I may have the guitar refretted though. The frets are still okay but they are pretty low and have seen a lot of use. And I have a refret paid for at a local shop with a good rep. So since it's paid for, I may take advantage of it.
bolero Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 wowee...that is a nice 140!!! congratulations PunkKitty
FredZepp Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 just seeing that one makes me want to grab my 140... they are amazing guitars. I'm sure that you'll enjoy it. .... How would you describe the neck on this 140?...
Guest HRB853370 Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 Selling Stratocaters? Gibson 50's Tributes are probably one of the best Gibsons made on recent years and one of the few that actually gone up in value... Tributes? Made in Korea???? Great grab P:K its a nice looking Heritage!
fxdx99 Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 Good looking 140. Really nice finish/grain. Have fun with that one - Congrats!
SouthpawGuy Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 A very fine looking 140, love the sharp cutaway, congrats !
bolero Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 hey, Korea is making better stuff than Japan now...they've already blown by them in the electronics dept I have a Korean made PRS that is top notch ie: remember Japan started out making crap cars in the '70's, but then evolved to making some of the best cars I see Korea doing the same
koula901 Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 Congrats on your sweet 140!! That's one of my favorite finishes.
Spectrum13 Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 Great look Pkitty. 140 with traps and good grains.
