PunkKitty Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 I found this on ebay at a price too good to pass up. So it's on its way to me. If all goes well, I should have it on Monday. I don't even know what kind of pickups are in it. They look like Duncans of one type or another. What color is this? I haven't been able to find a match.
PunkKitty Posted June 22, 2017 Author Posted June 22, 2017 Chestnut sunburst Congrats That's what I thought. Thanks for the confirmation. Details were sketchy on this one. But the seller had a 99.2% rating with over 10,000 sales. So I should be okay.
Vanschoyck Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 I like the vintage style tuners and matching pick guard on that. It should be really nice!
RJLII Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 Sweet. I'm a real fan of the vintage Kluson style tuners. Grover makes a nice machine but the vintage Kluson style are light and make a positive impact on tone to my ear. Almost all my non Fender guitars have them.
bsck1 Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 Wow, you're one lucky gal! Beautiful. Can't wait for your follow up report. Looks to be a real beauty. Congratulations.
Hfan Posted June 24, 2017 Posted June 24, 2017 Wow that is nice, hope you love it. I like the pickguard too, beautifully matched. All my Heritages have Gibbie shaped guards arghhh. And one is plastic ..double arghhh. Anyone have an H150 wooden guard in Sunset Burst?
LittleLeroy Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 You have a knack for snagging great deals! Congrats!
deytookerjaabs Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 If it looks that warm it should sound that warm, congrats.
ElNumero Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 Nice grab Monica, what year is she? The hardware looks to be aged nickel, very vintage looking!
PunkKitty Posted June 27, 2017 Author Posted June 27, 2017 Nice grab Monica, what year is she? The hardware looks to be aged nickel, very vintage looking! I don't know what year it is yet. But I should know tomorrow, assuming that FedEx doesn't mess it up.
PunkKitty Posted June 29, 2017 Author Posted June 29, 2017 Well, it came. And it's going back. It arrived poorly packaged in an oversized box. When I opened the case and took it out, I noticed this. I was going to Chicago Music Exchange tonight, so I had them check it out. They think this is surface damage to the paint only. Then they checked the neck. It has a slight twist and the truss rod is as tight as it can be. I can't accept the guitar this way. It's going back.
