meado Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Just a short hello. I bought my first Heritage, an Eagle, many years ago. Currently I own 2 Heritage guitars, an H-120 and an H-535..both Ebay finds from a few years back. Anyway, I look forward to keeping up on all things Heritage!

meado Posted November 15, 2007 Author Posted November 15, 2007 Well I have pics, I just haven't figured out how to post them. Let's see if this works for the H120. Heritage_H-120_Front.JPG Heritage_H-120_Front.JPG_thumb
Paul P Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Well I have pics, I just haven't figured out how to post them. Let's see if this works for the H120. Wooahoow ! That's original, to say the least. Must have been a lot of work. Paul P
Gitfiddler Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Man, ain't nothin' like bookmatched VooDoo Cat Squat beads on a guitar! You've got to tell us about that most interesting artwork. ...and how the beads effect the tone, of course.
meado Posted November 15, 2007 Author Posted November 15, 2007 Here's the story. I got the guitar off of Ebay and it was a mess. The black finish was chipped and gouged...even colored in with black marker on exposed wood. I had the finished stripped and my wife (the artist) did the painting. It's an Aboriginal painting style...lots of dots..based on the design of a Tibetian prayer rug. The back of guitar is a more traditional rendering of Aboriginal "dream lines." Anyway, I replaced the pick-up, bridge and stop piece and that's how it ended up. The pick-up is a high gain Gibson. It's sort of the ultimate guitar for playing "Mississippi Queen." Here's the back side... Heritage_H-120_Back.JPG Heritage_H-120_Back.JPG_thumb
GuitArtMan Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 I think we have a winner for the most unique Heritage on the forum - and a dang cool one to boot. Me likey!!!
golferwave Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 Welcome to the club and I must say that your wife does beautiful artwork! Very nice Heritage!
meado Posted November 16, 2007 Author Posted November 16, 2007 She'll be pleased with your comments. The H535 I have was a great Ebay bargain a few years back. I put on a new bridge, stop piece and put in 57 Classic Humbuckers. Ebay was incredible about 7-8 years ago. It's a lot tougher to find the bargains now. I think I paid just under $600 for this guitar...It's a 1998 model. H535_close_up.JPG H535_close_up.JPG_thumb
Thundersteel Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 Welcome to the club! Interesting H120--that sure is different! Nice H535 as well!
