Redsand Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 I like the black P90's on that guitar it would ALMOST make me want to keep the gold hardware…...
HANGAR18 Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 I would like to think I had a little bit of head start on this. DSCN0577.JPGDSCN0587.JPG . Taken 31 days ago at Wolfe. Oh, that's a lot thinner than a 157. That's interesting.
buzzy Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 I believe I will have one of those. Thank you, Heritage!
Spectrum13 Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Oh, that's a lot thinner than a 157. That's interesting. 1 5/8 so a little thinner. the belly cut in that shot looks thinner. Detroit Blues said the smaller 140's were close enough to the 150 and I agree. Guess if I waited some I could have had that banner...
slider313 Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 I would like to think I had a little bit of head start on this. Taken 31 days ago at Wolfe. Does that one have a maple cap and a rosewood fretboard?
Spectrum13 Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Does that one have a maple cap and a rosewood fretboard? Maple Cap, ebony fretboard, korina body, three piece neck, maple center with korina ends, resomax bridge, gotoh 510 cosmo black tuners
slider313 Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Maple Cap, ebony fretboard, korina body, three piece neck, maple center with korina ends, resomax bridge, gotoh 510 cosmo black tuners Nice! The fretboard just looked lighter in the photo of you (?) holding it, so I didn't know if it was ebony or rosewood. What does that baby weigh?
Spectrum13 Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Nice! The fretboard just looked lighter in the photo of you (?) holding it, so I didn't know if it was ebony or rosewood. What does that baby weigh? 7 1/2 Lbs That is Graham Z
bolero Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Spectrum which pickups did you end up using? I love the look of a staple P90 in the neck
Spectrum13 Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Spectrum which pickups did you end up using? I love the look of a staple P90 in the neck Duncan neck & Throbak bridge The strings perfectly lined up with the staple magnets too. Might be a while till I can snap some shots outside
brentrocks Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 I would buy one but I don't want to sell my Skolnick to get it
Kuz Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Limited Edition??? This cracks me up. Every Heritage guitar is a limited edition!!! I know Wolfe has to market guitars, but after the first 40 are made is he saying that you can't custom order another one JUST like the first 40? Hell, you can custom order this guitar now from a different dealer!!!! (and it might even cost less....) It might not have the numbering, but I bet you can spec everything else. Heritage not going to deny an order for a guitar from another dealer.

DetroitBlues Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Since the 157 did not exist back in1985, the anniversary model should be a 140 or 147....
H Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Since the 157 did not exist back in1985, the anniversary model should be a 140 or 147.... They're celebrating 30 years in business, not what they built 30 years ago.
GASguy Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Maple Cap, korina body, three piece neck, korina, Hmm, those specs sound strangely familiar...
HANGAR18 Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that Gibson recently made a super thin version of their Les Paul Custom. (Around $1500.00 ball park new.)
Guest HRB853370 Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 That would be 2025. Hoping they have a 30th anniversary model. I have already spec'd out my 50th anniversary H-595 archtop
DetroitBlues Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 They're celebrating 30 years in business, not what they built 30 years ago. I think this '85 looks better.... Their first solid body was all mahogany, but it was a 140...
Guest HRB853370 Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 I think this '85 looks better.... Their first solid body was all mahogany, but it was a 140... That is the prettiest 140 I have ever seen. Your ex right DB? I wish I had bought it......who does own it?
bolero Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 yeah that is nice, I like the mini traps Hangar I believe that 157 LE is full 157 thickness....Spectrum's is a 147 thickness I think?
bolero Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 man, I can't buy any new guitars for a while, this is frustrating...I want one of those things!! if i got one of those 157's it would definitely be getting a Bigsby I always liked this old '50's Les Paul Custom: :
