ehmanages Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Hi All, very long time lurker - thought I should join and say hello. I have enjoyed the posts of y'all and would like to post a couple of pics of my guitars. Both are 2012 H-137 guitars in TV yellow in the special and junior style. Please note: I could be wrong but i think the junior style is Korina (white limba) and the special style is mahogany. Any thoughts on this front would be greatly appreciated. As would be a confirmation of the type of Lollar P90 that Heritage uses ( I know they are dog eared P90s... but Jason makes like 3 versions of that model alone...) The tap tone of the body alone on the single pickup is sumptuous. Unplugged the guitar is resonant. Plugged in its awesome as is its playability and directness exposes any weakness in my playing. Guitar easily weighs 8 plus lbs. This guitar's intonation is a bit off as you play up past the 7th fret although I know an adjustable wrap tail would solve this... I don't want to modify the guitar. Punk and rockabilly and anything loud and aggressive and this guitar just shines. The dual pickup model is heavier and feels almost 9 lbs-ish. But it is a smoother guitar overall - less full on attack. This guitar intonates almost perfectly. This guitar does county, blues and jazz and indie/classic rock in spades! Any case on to the pics!... And thanks again for your insight on the above questions.
big bob Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 WOW! Welcome to the club. I think you'll fit right in here.
yoslate Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Welcome to the HOC! Nice! Really dig the single p'up! Can you say, "grunt and grind"?
schundog Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Welcome! Awesome pair of 137s, man. Stick around, we have a lot of fun. I'm not sure where you are located, but many of us get together in Kalamazoo the first weekend in August. Check out the "Parson's Street Pilgrimage" section of the forum to see some of the fun we have had in years past.
ehmanages Posted March 4, 2014 Author Posted March 4, 2014 Thanks guys. Does anybody have an idea what the going used price (a range is fine) for a sunburst H-137 single lollar with a bigsby? A friend of mine knows here a used is located (i'd love a tobacco burst one) and doesn't know what this might fetch dollar-wise before a reasonable offer could be made & completed ebay activity is no help.. it'd be a bit insane for me to buy a 3rd one though... Much appreciated.
schundog Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 You need a 535 and a 150 before you get a 3rd 137, haha. That said, I wouldn't go over $1100, personally; in fact, I'd knock $300-400 off because of the Bigsby (just kidding, Lance!)
DetroitBlues Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 My only thought once I get past the beauty of those two, (especially the single pickup model) is it needs a pickguard.... A nearly blasphemy suggestion to mention that around here... But its just my opinion..
davesultra Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Welcome aboard! I had an '08 137 with the single dog ear P 90 like yours. I desperately miss that one!
tulk1 Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 That's the way to make your first post --- with pics!! And of something we don't see every day. Nice pair of Heritages you have there. And Welcome to the HoC!
SouthpawGuy Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Hi and welcome to the HOC. An excellent pair of 137s . As far as I'm aware the Lollars used are stock winds. I have an '06 137 myself, it's also a 9 pounder. Lots of sustain, it was modded with Fralin hum cancelling P90s.
Steiner Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Though I'm not used to saying to other guys; that's a beautiful pair, nice snatch!
