brentrocks Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 You ever regret selling a guitar? I have many times...but today I got one of them back. This is a 2005 Heritage 20th Anniversary H 150. When i had the guitar before it was bone stock, SD Antiquities, Spirzel tuners, Black speed knobs, Gotoh bridge and tailpiece. I decided i was gonna pimp it out a little today, so i made these changes: * Duncan Alnico II Slash zebras * Locking Spirzel tuners * Black/chrome reflector knobs * Russian .022 PIO caps This Heritage is in near mint condition with a medium thin neck. It weighs about 9.5 lbs. I LOVE the sound of the Slash pickups in a H 150! ...and an INCREDIBLE blue flame top! Heritage's blue is awesome!!!
Guest HRB853370 Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Cool, can you tell us where around the block its been since you parted with it the first time? Blue is my favorite color, but not on guitars for some reason. But that flame is really something else!
gpuma Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 speechless! now you can give me the Gary Moore I forgot there.
bolero Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 WOW!!!! that is an insane guitar!! first dibs if you ever sell it *edit* argh....waited too long to reply, I was staring at the pics lol
tbonesullivan Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Didn't you buy back one 555 2 or 3 times? Anyway, that is one beautiful guitar. The flame on that is superb, as is the color. I kinda wish my Kahuna was that color. BLUE GUITARS ARE AWESOME.
FredZepp Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Nice one... that blue 20th Anni fits you well. It just looks like a guitar that you'd really enjoy. Congrats on getting it back again..
fxdx99 Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 ... has points of her own, standing way up high. Congrats, Brent. That is a looker. Funny... I can't remember you having that guitar before.
tbonesullivan Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Brent, how do you take such nice pictures? Natural lighting? Tripod? I can rarely get mine to look that good.
jazzrat Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Not a blue guitar fan generally but that one is spectacular! Congrats Brent.
Bluesbender75 Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 DAAAYUUUM That flame is knockin me out right now. Super clean axe man. Simply lovely.
212Mavguy Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 ...I think that one of the reasons that Brent takes such great pics is that he seems to acquire Heritages at a rate that allows practice...often. I'm not sure if I have seen blue wood grain of any kind on any instrument that striking in line and pattern graphics, stunning grain and finishing of it! @Brent, I tried Russky PIO's in my most recent amp rescue project with stunning success. WOW! Have a pair of Micamold PIO .010's I was thinking about sticking in my Millie 2000 LE, and some .015 K40's left over for another one off Millie custom. Can you describe the Russky vibe after the transplant?
Millennium Maestro Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 speechless! now you can give me the Gary Moore I forgot there. Sometimes to get a sweet guitar back out of Vegas, you have to send a sweet guitar out of PAW Paw... GM is now with a hardcore fan! There are 2 excited NGDudes.
brentrocks Posted August 15, 2012 Author Posted August 15, 2012 Brent, how do you take such nice pictures? Natural lighting? Tripod? I can rarely get mine to look that good. Thanks Tbone! Natural light is the key. I dont use a tripod....only because im usually shooting at around 400th of a second, i need a tripod for anything less than a 30th of a second. When you are outside though, you have to watch the angle you shoot from....glares/reflections are bountiful.

Can you describe the Russky vibe after the transplant? I have used the Russkys many times. My take on them is that you get a much creamier tone, especially when you roll back. I rarely roll back the tone on the bridge pup.....but i love to roll the neck back to about 5, it makes for a really smooth, rich neck tone, and i think the Russkys give you that added richness.
TalismanRich Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Looking good Brent. Its like meeting up with that old girlfriend from high school that still looks stunning.
koula901 Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Bling! : D What he said! I'm curious about the difference in a guitar when you put Russian .022 PIO caps in? What, exactly does that do?
