brentrocks Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 I needed this like a hole in the head , but the price was too good to pass up. It is a very nice playing 140...and a custom order too! Traps, belly cut, bound fretboard, covered Schallers....it sounds really good too! http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y52/ebmmquilt/H%20140%20Gold/P1010019.jpg[/img] http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y52/ebmmquilt/H%20140%20Gold/P1010018.jpg[/img] http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y52/ebmmquilt/H%20140%20Gold/P1010021.jpg[/img] http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y52/ebmmquilt/H%20140%20Gold/P1010023.jpg[/img] http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y52/ebmmquilt/H%20140%20Gold/P1010020.jpg[/img]
SouthpawGuy Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 Nice axe Brent ... GAS is so very hard to control ! ;D
tulk1 Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 What the heck is up with that belly cut? Looks like it's leather bound. ???
brentrocks Posted October 24, 2008 Author Posted October 24, 2008 Nice axe Brent ... GAS is so very hard to control ! ;D thanks Paul ;D that is a true statement...these low used prices as of lately make self control about as easy as skinning a procupine ;D What the heck is up with that belly cut? Looks like it's leather bound. ??? ;D...it is the reflection of my DVD bookcase
Thundersteel Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 Great score! Since you find the good deals, maybe you should become a deal-er! ;D
cod65 Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 yay Brent! 140FEST. Mine is still on its way. I hope it brings me as much satisfaction.
Dick Seacup Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 Great score! Since you find the good deals, maybe you should become a deal-er! ;D But, but, but then he'd be confined to the "Dealer Only" section with Wolfe and the others. :'(
Kuz Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 Brent, That one looks like mint condition. It would be nice to keep that one. But if not, what's the over/under time wise before it hits the swap meet?
slider313 Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 That would pair up well with my block inlay '88 cherryburst. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/b376/slider313/Heritage140.jpg[/img]
brentrocks Posted October 25, 2008 Author Posted October 25, 2008 Great score! Since you find the good deals, maybe you should become a deal-er! ;D if i ever won the lottery, i would open up a guitar shop...i would carry Heritage as my flagship brand and them maybe a couple lower end/entry brands....and of course used gear ;D

brentrocks Posted October 25, 2008 Author Posted October 25, 2008 yay Brent! 140FEST. Mine is still on its way. I hope it brings me as much satisfaction. what is the ETA on yours?
yoslate Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 Beauty, Brent! Love the color on the back!!! Wish my 150 had that finish on the back and sides. Very clean looking instrument!
111518 Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 I'm with 'slate --beautiful mahogany on the back, and the color is a great match with the gold. Cool guitar.
brentrocks Posted October 25, 2008 Author Posted October 25, 2008 Thanks guys ;D i spent a couple hours with it today and i have to say i'm very satisfied w/ the schallers in this guitar. this guitar is a little on the bright side anyway, because if the thinner body...but i like the tone. i think it sounds best on the neck pup w/ the tone rolled back to 5 or so. but very aggressive on the neck w/ some good 'ol fashioned distortion > the neck is SUPER SLIM, like the roy clark...i love it!!! i love the traps and the belly cut for my big belly ;D
big bob Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 Gongrats Brent, looks super duper.. ;D ;D you are dispickable ( said like Donald Duck)
brentrocks Posted October 25, 2008 Author Posted October 25, 2008 I have really been having a blast playing this thing....these Schallers really re-confirmed my belief in these pups...they are a great match for this 140. i think they will stay. i cant get over the slimmness of this neck...everybody asks what sets Heritage apart from Gibson...i say its the necks!!! (that is one of many) it wierd playing that 10.5 lb 157 and then strapping on the 140 but it is a blast at the same time....the Gary Moore is getting jealous :'(
golferwave Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 Good looking axe Brent! The 140's can hold their own against anything and they don't hurt your shoulder during a longer set. Great find!
