Guest HRB853370 Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 I frequently get poked at by DB and sometimes others about my Heritage closet queens. One of these queens is a stelllar 555 that I was fortunate to acquire a few years back at a very nice price. The bonus on this guitar is that it is loaded with HRW's. I really don't want (or need) to sell it. I am thinking it just needs a good spanking eh? I just hate to see a nice guitar sit in it's case. Myself, like many of you on this forum, have had serious bouts of GAS through the years and acquired more than I will ever need or deserve (I forgot, Brian always reminds me that it is NEVER about need). So, notwithstanding the barrage of smart-aleck comments that will be elicited from this thread, if you were in my position, would you keep this guitar? Since it is one of Heritage's finest examples, it can only go up in value; at least that is my thought. She is the girl on the far right on this photo.
PunkKitty Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Will, I'll graciously offer $700 to take it off of your hands. I'll even pay for shipping.

SouthpawGuy Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 I'd go to $500. Probably cost a couple hundred to have it converted to lefty

Gitfiddler Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Will, I'll gladly take it off your hands if you'd pay to ship it to my home in California.

SouthpawGuy Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 So you are the official HOC price setter? You mean just like you are the official HOC $h!t stirrer ?
PunkKitty Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Did I say I expected smart-aleck comments?? LOL! I'm not sure what you were referring to. My response was very sincere and was delivered with love.
SouthpawGuy Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Will, I'll gladly take it off your hands if you'd pay to ship it to my home in California. I think we have a sale.
Gitfiddler Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Will~ Why don't you take that beauty out and spank her yourself??!
Kuz Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 I would never keep a guitar hoping it might increase in value. Guitars are meant to be played. As far as, to sell or not, only you can make that call.... And knowing you, you will change your mind several times anyhow! LoL
MartyGrass Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Didn't the 60s teach you nothin'? Live for today, man. Play it.
SouthpawGuy Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 I'm not sure what you were referring to. My response was very sincere and was delivered with love. HOC camaraderie at its finest !
DetroitBlues Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 As the culprit that constantly reminded you of "excess" inventory, I'll leave it at this.... I only gave you crud about it because I vainly attempted to sway you into selling your 535 to me, to which you did out of necessity to purchase another fine instrument. If you don't need to sell the 555, then don't. Its better to have options you won't need, then to need options you don't have. Honestly Will, there is nothing wrong with owning a collection of guitars. There are many on here with much more than you, just as there are many on here that have much less. Nothing wrong with either way. Keep your guitars, even if you only look at them, they still put a smile on your face when you see them. That's worth it to me. Don't feel guilty, feel proud you have such fine examples of American craftsmanship. I'll say no more.
MartyGrass Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Will~ Why don't you take that beauty out and spank her yourself??! I just hope these quotes are not taken out of context. You're not planning on running for political office, are you, Tim?
golferwave Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Don't sell it Will. Regrets always lead to more GAS.
Redsand Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 KEEP IT!!! That too Awesome of collection to be messed with.
