PunkKitty Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 After going through a search of many guitars I'm down to three Heritages. As much as my addiction might want more, I really don't need more. At one point I was up to 30+ guitars including 6 Heritages. Now I'm down to 16 including 3 Heritages. More will be going. I want to get down to these three Heritages as my core, my SG, my home built guitars (Teles and variations), and a USA Peavey Predator Strat copy. So I'm working on reducing my inventory. Here's what I'm left with: My Millennium H-155 with stock Seths. My Prospect, Currently it has a Gibson 57 Classic/Classic + set installed. My H-150. Currently it has a zebra Gibson Burstbucker 1/2 set installed with alnico 5 magnets. I really can't see myself needing more. Sure. I'll want more. I have an addiction. But I can control that. It's strange. I was walking around Chicago Music Exchange yesterday and looking at their outrageous collection of vintage guitars. I kept telling myself that they are nice. But I play Heritages. I don't need anything else. I just need to keep the GAS under control.

I don't need anything else. I just need to keep the GAS under control. You have a very nice collection of Heritages and It's good to hear you are now GAS free. I can proclaim that too, along with Brent and Martygrass!! Welcome to the GFC (Gas Free Club)!!
Gitfiddler Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 Beautiful trio, PK!! Welcome to the GFC. (I just joined).
MartyGrass Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 That's a very nice trio. Really. The Prospect with a Bigsby is a jewel. They were made for each other. With each passing year I become a bigger fan of Millies. They are comfortable to play hour after hour and provide rich tone and sustain. I notice you don't have any Alumitones showcased. That's a shame! I put a couple on a Millie, one I got from you, and have been smiling since.
kidsmoke Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 Adventures in Horsetrading. You've done really well. Congrats.
SouthpawGuy Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 Excellent trio PK. You just need a group shot now btw " I really don't need more " ... does not compute
JeffB Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 Nice Heritages!! But who voted the OP down? Did someone take exception to PK being GAS free?
DetroitBlues Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 Nice Heritages!! But who voted the OP down? Did someone take exception to PK being GAS free? There are those that have GAS then there are those that are in denial...
tulk1 Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 Thats a nice trio. With the Predator and a T-Style, what couldn't you cover with those? Love the Prospect bestest!!
Guest HRB853370 Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 Fab Heritages PK. Is that as in "fabricated"?
brentrocks Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 I know how you feel. I get that way sometimes and I have a sell off.
kidsmoke Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 but a 357 is missing... Man. Sometimes it's hard to know who your friends are. (Although I tend to agree with him)
PunkKitty Posted September 4, 2013 Author Posted September 4, 2013 but a 357 is missing... And I'm okay with that. I'm not actively looking for one. But if I were to stumble across a used one for $600 or so, I might have to buy it. But I'm honestly more comfortable with 150 sized guitars.
tulk1 Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 I know how you feel. I get that way sometimes and I have a sell off. Is that what starts it? We've wondered.
koula901 Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 that's a nice trio, you have there Pk. I can honestly say I'm GAS free now and have been for several months. To you skeptics: fogettaboutit!
RhoadsScholar Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 I'm with you right at 3 Heritage's as well. I am gas free, but I always need just one more guitar, one more, that is it, then I am done.

If you guys were truly GAS free then you wouldn't have to remind yourselves. Ha !
koula901 Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 If you guys were truly GAS free then you wouldn't have to remind yourselves. Ha ! nah . . . . SOMEBODY turned me on to G&L. Now I have the best of both worlds.
SouthpawGuy Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 nah . . . . SOMEBODY turned me on to G&L. Now I have the best of both worlds. I have no idea who that somebody might be. btw there's this big river in Egypt called ....
Ned Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 Nice stable. As long as I value playing over gear, I figure there's room for one more. Thanks for showing us all three
