guycalleddave Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 Scored this off facebook marketplace and it was hand delivered to my house. How can you beat that? It's good to be a heritage owner again as it's been some years. I think it was a case queen. There was no fret ware but the frets were filthy. Hit with 0000 steal wool, oiled the pots, oiled the board, new strings, intonation, adjusted to action, and ready to go. Question now, does anyone know of where to source a replacement curved bridge pickup ring with the 2 screw holes for a HRW? This one is cracked in the middle.
CJTopes Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 Nice score! My Dc has been my go to guitar for a while now. How much did it set you back if you don’t mind me asking?
bobmeyrick Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 Since HRWs are based on Schallers, my guess is that any shop/dealer selling Schaller hardware might stock the correct pickup rings. Failing that, it's worth remembering that Schaller/HRWs have three holes in the mounting leg, so you could probably use a standard one-hole ring. Nice guitar, by the way!
davesultra Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 Yes, you can use standard mounting rings with Schaller/HRWs’. I have done that before.

PM me with your address and I'll get them to you.

guycalleddave Posted August 31, 2019 Author Posted August 31, 2019 It's also more brown in real life, though tends to photograph orangy

ElNumero Posted August 31, 2019 Posted August 31, 2019 Good job. Just out of curiosity, I have never heard of oiling the pots. Oiling the fretboard, yes! What exactly does that do?
pressure Posted August 31, 2019 Posted August 31, 2019 Early H170s also have that extended neck joint.

Gianluca Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 great guitar, the finish is spectacular, nice score, sometimes being in the right place makes a big difference enjoy it ?
chico Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 Congrats. What’s your serial#? Want to compare build date with mine. Also, I’d leave those HRWs in there. My .02. Nice score
