It was a mahogany one piece body with a one piece flame veneer top. Lollar dogears. Rosewood with traps. Bound and inlayed headstock. It’s currently for sale on Reverb. For over twice the price I paid new. Lol Didn't I buy that from you? Veneer top.

Looks like it might be the one. $2500 In the past year, the prices of all used Heritage guitars has leaped anywhere from $500 to $1000. I think that's a result of Heritage raising prices on the new ones.

Gitfiddler Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Current "Selling" prices for Heritage appear more realistic in the Guitar Center "Used" ads.

deytookerjaabs Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Awe C'mon with the price shaming fellas. I'm sure we're all making double what we did a few years back! Personally, don't like the direction from the few clips but I'm sure it's just a few guitars. Was hoping they'd go back to basics and come up with some simple all mahogany bread/butter guitars at good prices then slowly tier up from there while kicking ass on top with elegant arches.

FredZepp Posted January 30, 2019 Author Posted January 30, 2019 Of course, Pete was working on some custom instruments before that... he tap tuned this one in 1999 and had a lot to do with wood selection and other features on it.

DetroitBlues Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 I talked to Ron H. about upcoming events and we started talking about these NAMM guitars. Heritage had so much interest in the 137 Custom, they decided to make a special run after taking around 70 orders from dealers before they were even revealed at NAMM. Also, the heavy metal looking Millie caught the eye of Alex Skolnick. He absolutely loved it and Pete told him he had Alex in mind when he designed it. Alex was impressed with Heritages options and build quality.

And yeah, maybe the new regime will have a better chance of working with Alex than the old crew. Would be nice. We almost got Alex to a PSP. Think it was III.

RJLII Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 Pretty sure the magazine article has the H150 and H137 model designations reversed.

Just looking at the photos , you might think so. But it's the arched top that makes the difference. Like Brents 137DC , the slab top versions just have a maple veneer. Where the H-150 has a arched maple top. Arched and not just a veneer. The inlays and flamed maple make it seem like the models are reversed and you can't really see the arch top in the photos.
