Guitarbean Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Wondering if it's still possible to order 357s now? Any dealers care to chime in?
Millennium Maestro Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 When I talked to Marv in November he had a list of 357 builds that he stated would take a minimum of 2+ years to complete them at best... As we stand currently I have told customers that I DO NOT BELIEVE THEY WILL GET ONE BUILT IF PLACED ON THE LIST.
davesultra Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 I was just thinking about this topic today actually. I had been, and am still contemplating whether I was going to move my H357 or keep it. After hearing that Marv had a stroke, I wondered if he would be hanging it up.
High Flying Bird Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 Maybe I should play mine more. I have been thinking about selling it to somebody who played more than I do. I hardly pick up a guitar anymore.
eljay Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 My two happiest days were like the boat, day I bought it and day I sold it . . .
big bob Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 I play mine all the time, play it in, gig it out, it's a hell of a player!
Polo Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 Post em if you got em to sell.....I know of two cats here in Detroit currently looking to buy a H-357.I might be a third.
jaywolfe Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 Spoke with Marv a couple days ago and he has 2 more in process for our shop. He says he may complete them this year, but he may not. I told him it's ok either way. He hopes to return to the shop to "supervise" and teach in the coming weeks, on a part time basis as he feels up to it. Great to hear his voice clear & strong.

TalismanRich Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 Good to hear that Marv is improving. He deserves time to take it a bit easier. He also needs to pass the 357 mantel on to Arnie or Pete. It could still be very limited edition guitar... special order only type of thing.
pressure Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 I've got a special order for a 357 in mind, it's been refused twice already maybe 3rd times the charm.
Guitarbean Posted March 13, 2016 Author Posted March 13, 2016 I've got a special order for a 357 in mind, it's been refused twice already maybe 3rd times the charm. What do you have in mind?
pressure Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 Well among other slight changes to the basic H357 I want the wings to be made of Spruce.
Grambo150 Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 I've got a special order for a 357 in mind, it's been refused twice already maybe 3rd times the charm. Is it a fab SG?
brentrocks Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 What do you have in mind? you still selling your blue one
brentrocks Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 I just found out last night that there may be a 357 coming up for sale soon.....one of the early second edition 357s.....I wish I could afford it
pressure Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 Is it a fab SG? Let's just say I don't want to give Mr. Lamb any trouble.
Grambo150 Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 No it's a 357 with special Spruce wings. Is it a 357 with special Spruce wings that looks like a SG? Now that would be FAB.

Jay Wolfe I'm glad that Marv is recovering, first of all. And if he has any plans to continue working at Heritage in any capacity, that's a good thing!!! Thanks for the update.
holyroller Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 That's sad to hear about marve , I hope he takes his knowledge and teaches a few workers ,of the old world ways of making a guitar . Isn't that why they call it the heritage guitars?
Guitarbean Posted March 15, 2016 Author Posted March 15, 2016 you still selling your blue one I dunno. I hold back every time I play...plus I've unloaded some gear (but could unload more). We'll see...mine weighs just a hair over 7lbs, which is a feature I truly love. PLUS ITS PELHAM BLUE!!
