Hi Yura, from the Heritage site ...

 

"Neck - 17 degree peghead pitch; one piece mahogany neck.

 

Fingerboard - 24 3/4” scale rosewood; with  22 frets; with mother of pearl position markers.

 

Body - Single cutaway carved curly maple top and solid mahogany back, cream bound top; with cream pickguard.

 

body size:

            rim thickness - 1 1/2”

            body width - 12 1/2”

            body length - 17”

 

Electronics - Two humbucking pickups with exposed coils, two volume and two tone controls with selector switch.

 

Hardware - Chrome plated hardware. With plastic pick guard."

 

Your pickups are most likely Schallers, the tuners are usually Grovers.

 

Hope this helps.

Yura,

 

I don't see your pics ? Maybe I'm missing something.

 

If you take the cover off the back control cavity there might be a sticker inside like this:

some of the 140's are all-mahogany body with no maple top.

'h140M'  is all-mahogany.

'h140CM' is maple top with mahogany bottom.

There may  be other types - like 'P'  which would mean 'poplar' wood.

 

check inside for a sticker.

 

use a tube("valve") amp for the best sound, IMO :afro:

Did you buy your guitar from someone in Ukraine ?  If so I wonder

what kind of stories it would have to tell, being so far away from

home.

This is mine H140

 

ah, OK , found yer photos. interstin thing about that headstock - the points seem to have rounded off a bit! either that or its just another variation in Heritage styles. My 140 has pointier headstock. I kind of like yours -reminds me of early Melody Maker headstock
