Guest HRB853370 Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 So, (sounding like DB here), I sold some drums out of my storage unit and this is what I have coming in. Does that qualify as one in one out? Of course, this was NOT a result of GAS. No possible way that attending PSPV, visiting 225 Parsons Street, or seeing Bird's 137 with that pretty tailpiece, or admiring Blankstaircase's newly won 137 had ANYTHING to do with this acquisition. Like I have stated many times, unequivocally, I AM GAS FREE! This gal is stock with the exception of an aircraft aluminum tailpiece that has saddle adjustments for intontation, and an Access adjustable interior hard shell case, seller claims is expensive. Two very slight checks in the finish, seller claims came from the factory this way. What is that average weight of a H 137? Just curious.
DetroitBlues Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Very nice Will.. I'd expect the weight to be under 8lbs. being a solid mahogany body guitar. What's up with the second fret position on the fretboard. Looks like some sort of stripe? She looks like a beauty, just add a pickguard and she's all set! Congrats!

I didn't notice that before and it shows up in another photo too, which now has me wondering. Let me check on this and report back. It was not disclosed if it is indeed a stripe.
SouthpawGuy Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 That's only a shaft of light, notice the band of light across the case .... My 2006 137 weighs 9lbs, and it's a tone monster, has Fralin noise free P-90s installed
DetroitBlues Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Ah, there you go, just a bit of light shining on the guitar. Good eye Southpaw!
Gitfiddler Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Nice catch, Will! Enjoy that toneful toy. And remember...Stay 100% GAS FREE AND LOVIN IT!
Guest HRB853370 Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Nice catch, Will! Enjoy that toneful toy. And remember...Stay 100% GAS FREE AND LOVIN IT! I intend to Tim!! No going back on my word, I promise. Sounds like a politician, eh? Thank you Southpaw for that sigh of relief. You have a good set of eyes! BTW the seller called the tailpiece a "pigtail". I would have preferred "hogtail" but that is my Harley Davidson mind at work.

gpuma Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 No GAS, uh? Happy for ya, my friend. Henjoy it (and that it is not a typo, you can enjoy any guitar but you can Henjoy only a Heritage)
Guest HRB853370 Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 No GAS, uh? Happy for ya, my friend. Henjoy it (and that it is not a typo, you can enjoy any guitar but you can Henjoy only a Heritage) No Gas Gio. I promise, GAS had NOTHING to do with this. It was pure accident. I am not getting the Hen-joy? I must be thick.
DetroitBlues Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Not sure how selling gear to acquire another Guitar, not be gas, as you just acquired a guitar that you didn't need, but wanted. Which by practical purposes, is the premise behind G.A.S. Now if someone just gave you a guitar just because that you didn't ask for, that would be different... You're beyond G.A.S. Will, you have an even worse problem... A real bad case of GAWD. Guitar Acquisition Withdrawal Denial.... There might be a 12 step program for that...
davesultra Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 I'd like to think my avatar had something to do with it. Looks like a good 'un, enjoy!
JeffB Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 "No, no GAS. I just keep buying stuff thats guitar related" Nice score. Looks great..
DetroitBlues Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 So the next time Will has to have another Heritage or other guitar, we can just say, "Oh Gawd, there he goes again"...

Ok, so now you bust my chops and even go to the extent of telling me I bought a guitar I didn't even need! If you want to go that route, I don't NEED ANY of my guitars, Heritage's included. I may suprise you and sell it all.

Guest HRB853370 Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Just, Joshin' you Will... I feel so much better now...
DetroitBlues Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 I feel so much better now... No worries, just grab a cold one and post some pics of that 137 when it arrives... oh, and here's some good memories for you...

For a guy that has no GAS you're full of it. GAS that is. The bridge is a pigtail wrap around .... http://www.pigtailmu...om/Products.php Heritage used them on earlier 137s.
Guest HRB853370 Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 No worries, just grab a cold one and post some pics of that 137 when it arrives... oh, and here's some good memories for you... PSPV cable mystery solved. I am staring at this photo and the cable end plugged into my 535. That is definitely a Carvin cable end. In my drunken stupor Thursday evening at the hotel, I mistakenly thought I had brought my Peavey Cable and instead brought the Carvin Cable. Duh! Which explains why DB found a Carvin cable, unaccounted for near his amp. That was my cable, it just got unplugged (somehow) from my amp, possibly borrowed for a tune or so, then laid on top of DB's amp. I further verified this to be true because I only owned one Carvin cable and I still only have one! Thanks Fredzep!
DetroitBlues Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Hmm, that's good news Will! That explains a lot. All is well that ends well... Cable mystery solved, 137 GAS resolved, and now we can all just celebrate.
