schundog Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 Solid as a rock, repaired headstock and all; my old 1988 H-170. I know I've mentioned it before, but the Schallers rock in this thing. Just took these shots this morning. I don't give this thing near enough love. (As evidenced by the dust!)
FredZepp Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 I love that one.. great looking axe with sweet flame and finish, inlaid headstock, etc. You found a great bargain in that one ! Classic Heritage !
pressure Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 Fab 170 Brian. If I was going to build a 170 it would look a lot like yours.
Calamazoo Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 That is a killer top. Like the double cut too. Everyone has single cut, I say cut me twice.
kidsmoke Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 I played that old bird before you adopted her. Fine guitar. Glad you're respecting her.
cosmitron Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 Got mine for a couple of weeks already but the honeymoon is not over yet. Yours looks charming!
tulk1 Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 Wonder if the extra checking in the neck finish came along with the break? Great repair job, too. Funny thing about the 170s ... I didn't think I'd like them. And still not my favorite Heritage body style. But when you get your fingers on one, hear the tone .... the body shape never comes to mind.
ScottNaylor Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 Great patina on that too. Yes! That caught my eye as well. A beauty that can only be earned and not simulated.
yoslate Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 image.jpg More 170 love There's some video of me, somewhere, playing this thing at PSP a few years ago. It's a remarkable bag of tones!
RhoadsScholar Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 sending some 170 love from Michigan. The only new custom order i got from Heritage to date has been my 170 2nd edition 'mystic Juju'. Alot to like about the 170. I happen to like what i consider original designs from heritage being recently the Millie and the 170. They are all favorites, but the 170 is the bees knees....
