H-137

[rwinking]

I bought my first two Heritage's last summer when I got an H-140 and an H-170. I fell in love immediately and thought to myself "Man, if these two are so great, I'll bet na H-535 will slay!" I waqs able to get one of this forum and it is another unbelievable instrument.

So, let me just say that even though I have a buttload of guitars, I am not a collector, per se. I play them all, depending on the project. I have become enamored with the possibility of an H-137 and had some questions.

How long have they been made?

As a fan of funky older guitars (not beat up, but "well played....") do they come around much?

I have looked at Reverb and Flea Bay and they all seem to be in the $2000 range but also fairly new. If they have been made a long time, are there older ones to be had and how much do they go for?

 

thanks everyone

H-137 are near the $2k range new. Used can be around 1/2 that. They've been around for a long time too.

137's were introduced in around 1997. They don't come up often, but keep an eye out, and you'll get one at a decent price.

They can typically be found in the $800 to $1000 range. If you find one for less than $800 it might be a little worn but that may be right up your alley. Mine was $900 and pretty pristine, with a little natural checking on the top. And my gosh, you indeed have a buttload of guitars!

Thanks everybody! Man, that would be great if I could find one for $800-1200! I will keep my eyes open, especially here.
