Guitarbean Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 What the hell was I thinking?? :)I hope it's getting played in good health! larger photo courtesy of Guitarbean from when he owned this work of art.
LK155 Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Same guitar X 4. Antique SunBurst. What you see depends on the lighting..................
tsp17 Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 What the hell was I thinking?? I hope it's getting played in good health! Every week with my new band as we work up a our set list. This one is a soulful-tone machine. I love the Seths in it.
slider313 Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Well, since folks are including guitars that are clearly not H150's, I'll throw in my H140.
TalismanRich Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Sorry, but this is all I have to offer in the 157/150 flame wars. This one has more flame to it though.
Gitfiddler Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 This thread could serve as a Heritage Beauty Contest! Ya'll are killin' me with these beauties. (Even though some are not bursts...or 150's!)

Keep em' comin gang! According to the neilson numbers, we've currently got ourselves a 3 way tie for "Meanest Burst". Thanks to all for posting!
FredZepp Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 An older pic... but sometimes the flames pop when in bright light...
kidsmoke Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 An older pic... but sometimes the flames pop when in bright light. I've been amazed at that with my VSB also. When I picked it up at Moreno's my heart sunk at first...he went on about the wet sand of the top and the glassy finish...but i saw NO flame, only mineral streaks. I figured that the difference in the reflecting nature of the nitro was obscuring the flame I'd seen previously...but then you turn it five degrees and BAM...the flames burst from the top. very cool. And sweet guitar, Fred.
FredZepp Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 And sweet guitar, Fred. Thanks.. This is just a cool pic of a Custom 150 that Brent found... now owned by BigBob More....
Kuz Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 I'm kind of partial to this one. Maybe not up there with some of the iconic Heritage Bursts, but I have not seen another one like it. A true one of quilt/blur with a 50s fat neck and tone for days!!!

kidsmoke Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 Thanks.. This is just a cool pic of a Custom 150 that Brent found... now owned by BigBob More.... Just curious, Lance, but what's the scale length on this triple single 150?
H Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 I've been out of the loop for a few weeks but, as I've been asked to provide an example, here we are: The Daddy And with a bit of help from bright sunshine (a rarity in the UK!)
Redsand Posted May 23, 2014 Author Posted May 23, 2014 I've been out of the loop for a few weeks but, as I've been asked to provide an example, here we are: The Daddy Oh yeah, there she is!!!
kidsmoke Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 The Daddy Oh yeah. As Larry Bird famously quipped at the all star game 3 point contest, just BEFORE he began shooting... "which one of you MF'ers is coming in 2nd?"
Spectrum13 Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 I'm kind of partial to this one. Maybe not up there with some of the iconic Heritage Bursts, but I have not seen another one like it. A true one of quilt/blur with a 50s fat neck and tone for days!!! I was waiting for Kuz to bring out the big guns

As sick as this tripple lipstick is I can help but wonder how much sicker is would be with an old style bar stoptail (looking like a fourth pickup.

THIS ONE...!! The baddest of a bad, bad bunch! That's as good a top as has ever been on a maple capped guitar, regardless of builder or vintage....
Kuz Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 THIS ONE...!! The baddest of a bad, bad bunch! That's as good a top as has ever been on a maple capped guitar, regardless of builder or vintage.... I am definitely a sucker for wide flames. My original Greeny 150 was going to have big wide flames but it didn't work out. So I to "settle" for this knock off....
