PunkKitty Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 This is stronger than the 357 GAS at the moment. In a way I regret selling the 170LW. But in a way I don't. I really want a burst 150LW. They appear to be pretty rare. I might even be willing to trade my Prospect for one. GAS is a bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HANGAR18 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 The problem is that my taste has gotten better and therefore more expensive. I find this to be true in every category of my life. Wine, drums, guitars, tequila, trucks, motorcycles, suits, jackets, and so on. Actually, I was buying Gibsons before I ever heard of Heritage so actually for me, in that category the guitar cost went down while the quality went up so I guess that doesn't count.

PunkKitty Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 Define light weight. 8.5 pounds or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthpawGuy Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 As I've mentioned once or twice my 2003 150 is not an LW, it weighs 8.2lbs. And yes I've checked, it's solid. There are lighter solid 150's out there .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gitfiddler Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Oh pardon meeowwwrrr! Kitty gots GAS! Go for it PK! Make Slammer an offer he can't refuse. That is a great looking 150LW, Will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are lighter solid 150's out there .... If I can find one, a lighter solid 150 would be very nice. But it seems that most are in the 9.5 - 11 pound range.

Not doubting you at all SPG, it just strikes me as funny(haha) that a LW guitar can be heavier than a guitar theyre trying to make a light weight version of.

big bob Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 This is the best one ever made, I looked after her while Kate made my 170 custom.

Tell me about it ! First time I took it out of the case I actually thought it was an LW model so I took the rear control cover off and checked. Then I checked again the next day ... to be sure to be sure And before I'm hit with the "useless without pics" ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make a special version for Irish guys as they dont weigh much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckyrock Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Just to feed the GAS My 2011 H157LW (ALSB) is 7.5 LBS My 2011 H157 (CNSB) is 8.5 LBS I specified the weights, and Heritage hit them right on. I need to take pictures. I'm contemplating a third H157... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HANGAR18 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 In a way I regret selling the 170LW. But in a way I don't. I really want a burst 150LW. Well, what do you think of the H 110? They are really light weight (unless you specifically tell them not to do that) and if you are already accustomed to the switch and pots how they are placed on the H 170, the H 110 appears to have the same configuration. The H 150 will (obviously) have the switch up top instead of next tot he pots and you have 2 tones and 2 volumes instead of 2 volume and just 1 tone. Not only is the H 110 body chambered but it is also thinner. Rim thickness - 1 5/8” as opposed to the 2 inch thickness of the H 150. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
