LucSulla Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Look what showed up today on my doorstep. I've been wanting one of these for years... And see, they all get along just fine!
fxdx99 Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Nice goldtop - congrats! Light colored and one piece back, '59s (or seth lovers?) pickups, and that pretty gold finish. Very cool.
LucSulla Posted January 29, 2013 Author Posted January 29, 2013 You called it - 59s. I'm so glad I went this direction rather than picking up another LP with a gold top. I love this thing.
skydog52 Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Welcome aboard with a nice Goldtop. A classic beauty. Congrats on a nice collection.
big bob Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Nice looking gold top, love the light hog back!
Spectrum13 Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Almost exactly the way I started. How do you like the neck carve?
schundog Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Congratulations, that's a beaut! Welcome to the HOC, and I'll bet you can't stop at 1....
kidsmoke Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Sweet. very cool grain on that one piece back. Welcome.
Hfan Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Beautiful Goldtop, what year? Heritage has the best Goldtop finishes IMHO. And a Hamer fan too I see.
LucSulla Posted January 29, 2013 Author Posted January 29, 2013 Thanks for the compliments, everyone! I appreciate them, and good to be here. Beautiful Goldtop, what year? Heritage has the best Goldtop finishes IMHO. And a Hamer fan too I see. It is a 2009. I am a big Hamer fan as well! I have a studio and a special and dig them both a lot. The studio plays nice and is a beautiful guitar, but the special (it isn't here atm) is just a hard rock machine. Almost exactly the way I started. How do you like the neck carve? I dig it. It's a little thicker than what I usually play on, but I am not really a partial to thing or thick. It just has to feel right, and this one does. For years I thought the thinner the better until I bought a couple of super shredders. I found that the neck on that old LP Custom was just much more to my liking, though it is definitely on the thin side of the LP spectrum itself.
tonedeaf Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 You're killing me!!! I have been trying mightily to resist buying one of these and my will power has been almost crushed. Beautiful. If it an't gold it ain't a Les Paul (IMHO).
Guest HRB853370 Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Got to love the Heritage gold finish. It is in a class by itself! Well done and welcome aboard.
Thundersteel Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Heritage + Hamer (I also own an LP as well)
Hfan Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 That finish may have been done by Floyd (RIP) who did the best Goldtop finishing ever.
LucSulla Posted January 29, 2013 Author Posted January 29, 2013 I love all three of those guitars. I've had that LP (a dreaded Norlin!) for almost 15 years. I've kind of wanted to retire it from being my main ax, and that sparked this recent spate of acquisition. I wanted to stick to guitars that were from the LP bloodline, which I consider all of the above to be.There is something undeniably classic about the Heritage. Of course, you all know this, but I didn't. BrentRocks recommended I give it a stab and said the price was good, so I took the dive. It isn't the easiest playing guitar I have (though it certainly isn't uncomfortable by any stretch either), but the tone has floored me. I have a Mesa Mark V, and for the first time since I got that amp, I really explored the first channel's range of tones from dirt to grit. I just don't have anything else that really showcases what that channel can do (and vice versa I guess). I also really dig Hamer's kind of hot rod take on the whole thing.
koula901 Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Welcome to the forum and congrats on your goldtop! I've get '59s in my 150 and really love them.
High Flying Bird Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Welcome aboard! It won't be your last Heritage.
LucSulla Posted January 29, 2013 Author Posted January 29, 2013 Nope. I am already drooling over 535s and 157s. :-D
SouthpawGuy Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Nice, love the wood in that 150 GT ! Hamers are also superb, they make great guitars.
