ledzeffer Posted June 25, 2021 Posted June 25, 2021 Wow 150 right after that nice 535. Talk about GAS.
Spectrum13 Posted June 25, 2021 Posted June 25, 2021 Another pick of the litter going to our Punk Kitty! Long may she stay in the fold.
SeattleMI Posted June 25, 2021 Posted June 25, 2021 Congrats! I've been eyeballing those guitars at Dave's. I just can't justify a purchase at this time.

DetroitBlues Posted June 25, 2021 Posted June 25, 2021 You have a fondness for the bursts! Congratulations.
GuitarsGuitarsGuitars Posted June 25, 2021 Posted June 25, 2021 Thats a Beauty ! I got this one from the same sale... Even though I despise Dave and Tylor. 2017 - 59's.
ElNumero Posted June 25, 2021 Posted June 25, 2021 What was this so called "sale" I somehow missed? Inventory reduction? Pre 4th?

Not really a “sale”, it’s just that they seemed to receive quite a few used Heritage guitars over a couple week period. Years ran from about ‘16-‘21. I’ve noticed this quite a bit with Dave’s. They’ll often list a whole bunch of different “used” PRS SE guitars on the same day. I’ve wondered if those were factory repaired models or something of the like. Perhaps they buy remaining inventory of stores that are closing their doors, and flip them at their shop.

I bought a few things from them in the past. Never a problem. Guitars always arrive perfectly set up.

I’ve purchased quite a few guitars from them over the last decade or so. My experience has been 50/50, with more than a couple having some needing fret work. This most recent one is excellent though. The nice thing about buying from them is that they have a very generous return policy. They’ll take stuff back without you needing a reason. I believe due to the volume of guitars moving through their store(s), they likely aren’t always going over the guitars with a fine toothed comb. But it hasn’t stopped me from buying from them.
PunkKitty Posted June 29, 2021 Author Posted June 29, 2021 As we discussed last week, I caved and bought an H-150 from Dave's Guitars. It arrived today. And I really like it. It doesn't seem to weigh the 9.5 pounds that it was advertised as. I was a bit concerned because when UPS arrived, some of the tape on the box looked like it had been messed with. But I could see that the case was in there, and it was heavy enough, so I accepted the shipment. I opened the box and everything was in order, so I was relieved. Tuned it up and plugged it in. Sounded great. The stock pickups are Duncan 59's, a pickup that I'm normally not a fan of, but they sound good with this guitar and my Crate V18. I think I'm going to keep them. This was purchased as a used guitar, and I found a couple of minor issues. A bit of glue on the pickguard. I opened the electronics cavity and noticed that one pickup had a braided lead while the other was 4 conductor. Strange, but I checked the model number on the bottom of the pickups and they are 59's. It was missing 3 tuning machine screws and the other 3 weren't fully screwed in. I had screws at home so it wasn't a big deal, but still odd. It's really nice to play a H-150 again. I didn't realize how much I missed my old one.
