FredZepp Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 A great day that will be. To receive your custom , handmade instrument at 225 Parsons... Guitar Mecca. Just one more event to look forward to at PSP....
High Flying Bird Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 Pics or it never happened!! That will be my job.
schundog Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 Now THAT'S the way to buy a guitar! Good for you, Larry. I can't wait to see/hear it.
nicknickhall Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 one of these days i'd love to make the pilgrimmage. i'm excited for you for your custom pickup tomorrow. Please describe in great detail.
SteveHoffman Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 That's a Heritage number I'm not familiar with. Is it solid body or what?
schundog Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 This is eljay at last year's PSP, winning a new Heritage H-137 from the good people at Parson's Street. Talk about earning some undying loyalty, I think Larry has bought 2 or 3 brand new custom Heritage's since!

FredZepp Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 That's just a crazy beautiful guitar, Ron.... Pic = 1000 words
Spectrum13 Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 I want to be there when your eyes bug out ! Roger that Steiner. We should all get to see the expression on his face when he first glances it.
DetroitBlues Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 I remember Jack picking up his last year. How cool it is to pick up a guitar directly from the factory. One day I hope to do the same.
MartyGrass Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 Human nature being what it is, that guitar of yours may get just a little bit more attention to detail since you are picking it up in person. People tend to go that extra mile when the transaction is personal. On another note, HFBs 357 is as good as it gets. It's an artistic masterpiece. And it will get better with age. Firebirds, like Strats, acquire character as time beats them up a little. 357s are a major step up beyond the Firebird but I believe a little wear will only add to its appeal. I can't wait to see the new 357. I will be a Heritage in a week or two and maybe will take a peek. About how much does a 357 weigh?

That would certainly break it in!
fxdx99 Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 Fantastic alignment of events, Larry. PSPV will be 'almost' as memorable for you as IV...
MartyGrass Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 My first real guitar was a similar styled 60s Firebird. It was not nearly as good looking and elegant. It was a gigging instrument and had its honest signs of respectful wear. It was a great workhorse. A driveway toss- I'm afraid that could be fatal.
Gitfiddler Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 and i will take delivery at 225 parsons street. what an experience . . . Larry, you lucky dog, you! That is going to be a day you will NEVER forget! Good for you, sir.
big bob Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 Congratulations on your new 357. Now lets talk about checkers and wang-bars...
MartyGrass Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 Congratulations on your new 357. Now lets talk about checkers and wang-bars... How's that Vibramate working out? It looks great.
