big bob Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 Did heritage drop the 170? Or is it now a 150 with a double cut option?
DavesNotHere Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 Neither the 170 or 110 is listed on the website.
Millennium Maestro Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 The H-170 and H-140 are no longer production models... What does that mean?? I think they will do anything if the price is right. When I asked I was told they had not built any in forever.... I ordered a stupidly pimped 170 AAAAA one piece top and a Pimped 140, I believe they were both the last ones. Personally I loved both models!
brentrocks Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 dropping the H170 is a big mistake, IMO there is always room for a double cut solid body
LittleLeroy Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 the H-170 is cool. http://www.heritageownersclub.com/forums/topic/30100-h-170s-lets-see-them/ https://youtu.be/p93KrwIa-zE
ElNumero Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 The new corporate business model is probably this: We will continue to build what sells very well, and not build what does not sell very well. That is not necessarily a bad business model in terms of maximizing profitability. Now whether they will continue the tradition of being a "custom shop" which they were under the old regime, remains to be seen. Could Spectrum13 order and have built another tricked out 147 like he did a few years ago? Who knows. Perhaps at the right price, but its definitely going to be much higher than what he shelled out a couple years ago for that sweet guitar.
skydog52 Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 Dropping the H-110 was a mistake in my opinion. I sold a few and everyone that got one absolutely loved them. Lightweight very resonant axes. Hopefully they will come up with something close to that model. http://heritageguitar.com/guitar/h-110/ http://heritageguitar.com/guitar/h-170/
CJTopes Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 The 170 was the closest thing to an S-G that they had..
DetroitBlues Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 I personally think the H170 and H137DC are FUGLY. But with respect to my HOC brothers and sisters., there is a huge fan club here. Perhaps Heritage is sticking to more familiar design cues from their competition?
skydog52 Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 Before corporate took over I had this one built for me. It's a Milli Pro DC
skydog52 Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 Here is a H-110 build that I sold. To JR Clark. His go to guitar now. http://www.jrcblues.com/
tbonesullivan Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 The H170 will be missed. I did wish it had a bit of a more low profile neck joint. The H110.. I'm sorry but the upper horn is UGLY. It just looks totally out of place.
