Heritage 127

[Guest HRB853370]

OK, all this talk of a Heritage 127 at PSP. Who brought 127's besides Victor? Are these very popular? Do they still produce them? If not, what era were they made? Lastly, are they collectible now?

The 127 was an iterim guitar built while Heritage was being sued by Gibson - late '80s. Fender offered up modified Strat templates, which became the STAT; and modified Tele templates that became the H127. After Heritage basically won the suite they decided to not ever produce the Fender modifieds again, out of respect for the company and people that backed them during a hard time. That is what Jim D. told Kuz and I at PSPIII. Then again, he told us Larrivee built the acoustics. So take that as you may.

 

Not many Heritages are collectable by anyone except Brent or MG or maybe you. :-) So, probaby not collectable.

Will, there was a guy sitting to the right of my boy and me for the picture at the factory. It was black and was a really nice guitar.

I can't remember his name to save my life, but he was a really nice guy. We talked for several minutes, but I don't think he made it out to the farm

I know a Heritage made the STAT, but Gibson made guitars nearly exactly like them at the same time. Q-100, Q-300, US-1, US-2, M-iii...

Thanks for shedding light on that Kenny. So many good stories about Heritages that were, and aren't now...

 

BTW, you were sorely missed over the weekend (again)! Out making that almight dollar though, which is understandable!

Thanks Will. We did this past weekend as a favor to a new agent. Sort of a Field Trial. I'd say, in the long run, it was probably worth it. We received two gig offers while there. And the agent just called with a really nice gig for a weekend we had nothing going. So, guess it was a good thing. All in all, tho', I'd rather have been in K'zoo.
