Perilmeglio2 Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 Finally...i did it! I found my 2nd H-160v! As you can see is quite different from the one I already had (on the left): the body is clear while the other is almost cream, and even the fretboard is darker. The other one has a hb SD Jeff Beck, this one is totally original! I just wanted to show you my new toy... ?
DetroitBlues Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 Nice twins! How close are they in age? Its amazing how nitro can age a finish.
pressure Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 If your new H160v has the serial number, C 08603 which means it was built October 6th 1986, I used to own it. It has been refetted and PleKed to perfection. That's a Fab guitar. Good times.
Perilmeglio2 Posted September 1, 2020 Author Posted September 1, 2020 E serial both, same age of production. The "cream one" is always on a stand and is often played, the "white one" I guess has passed most of its life in a closet

Perilmeglio2 Posted September 2, 2020 Author Posted September 2, 2020 The "white" seems to be older from the serial number (E 16504, the cream is E 24101). Both nice guitars and 3 Heritage in my collection!
rwinking Posted September 2, 2020 Posted September 2, 2020 I guess I am a little confused. I have what I think is an H-160 (fire engine red!) but it has the traditional strat five way switch. My Stat has the four mini switches like you H-160. So is mine just a later version?
Perilmeglio2 Posted September 2, 2020 Author Posted September 2, 2020 If I'm not wrong h-160v and Stat are different models, both have a "strato" shape but they are different. From my research it seems that only 20 h-160v were made... so I had 10% of the world production of this model ?
rwinking Posted September 2, 2020 Posted September 2, 2020 Hey, thanks....mine must be an H-162. It has the pointy headstock and the strat style 5 way switch. It is really light so it must have a poplar body with a Kahler trem. My Stat is a super strat style but mahogany body and maple top with binding. It has the 4 mini switches for the pick ups and set neck.
rwinking Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 Interesting....my H-160 has a serial number of E20207. They must have been building them at the same time. I thought they may have developed them over the years....like I said, mine has the 5 way switch and also a maple fretboard.
DC Ron Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 Sweet! My H160V has a C serial number, must be one of the first ones.
Perilmeglio2 Posted September 13, 2020 Author Posted September 13, 2020 Hi everybody, after some research as you can see I found that about only 20 h-160v were made by Heritage... is it possible?
