Blast from the past...1986 Heritage Collection

[brentrocks]

I snagged the Heritage brouchure pics that were on ebay...they came today.  It is a collection of 5X7 cards w/ a bunch of the Heritage models offered in 1986...but not all of them...it is pretty cool.  I scaned them so everybody could see....

+1 brent ... thats totaly cool..

[fxdx99]

I figured you'd snag those.  Cool - thanks for posting the images.  I'd never seen a 480 or 125 - wow.  I do like the idea of a custom order 127 w/maple neck, and 'std' tele appointments (bridge, pickups, controls)...  Were those set or bolt on necks, do you know?

[cod65]

dude!  nice pron!

 

I've never seen a 125- its like 1/2 melody maker and 1/2 firebird.

 

wonder if its a bolt-on

 

 

the headstocks are kind of all over the place. I do like the fendery-looking stat one. That would be nice on a firebird shape

there was a 125 on ebay like 6 months ago...i believe it was a set neck

[golferwave]

Really cool Brent ...  I didn't realize they had as many Fender styled guitars as the did in the beginning... Thanks for sharing!

[shook494]

Very cool Brent.  Now I know what strange Heritage gits to look for.  I'd never seen some of those.

[jacques]

Lovely action Brent, you deserve karma for that!

I wonder if all of these guitars were ever commercially available and if so, where they all are now!

[JohnCovach]

I dropped out of the bidding on those at $20.  Sorry to have bid the price up against one of my HOC brothers!

i'm sorry John, you should have told me you were bidding...i'd have let you have them

[Thundersteel]

They made a bass?? Cool!  8)

Yeppers. Ren had his at the PSP. Several of us got to play it. And it is sweet. Don't know if it's stock or not. But it was a player, for sure. I would love to find one. Wonder how many they made?

No problem, man.  I routinely bid low on Heritage memorabilia that I don't already have.  I've got catalogs, framed ads, etc.  But if I can see that another bidder is responding to my bids with some enthusiasm, I usually let the item go.

Brent,

 

The pictures look cool and its good to see the h-125 included. It is a set neck guitar and mine is as light as a feather.

 

Thanks for posting those,

I've been into Heritage guitars for about 15 years now and I've never seen an H-125 in person.  I think it's a great looking guitar.  What color is yours?

[y2kc]

The h-125 I have is black with a natural mahogany neck. The shape grows on you.

  Excellent!  Pics?

[Bluzman54]

Would anyone know what was their reasoning at the time for the different style headstocks?  Seems like it would be hard to establish "brand recognition" with such dramatic differences.

I want this one

[jmb27]

Very cool pics. Always like to see some of the more historic/memorabilia stuff. Remember seeing at least one Stat and maybe a 140 or two in the late 80s - early 90s .... if I knew then what I know now about Heritage guitars ....

 

Thanks for posting the collection.  8)

 

cheers always, eh
