Gitfiddler Posted February 28, 2022 Posted February 28, 2022 I just noticed that the H-137 is no longer listed on the Heritage Guitar website. Has it been discontinued? Just curious.

Just curious. Yes. They discontinued it a few years ago. They told me they weren't selling like they wanted and I suspect Harmony was coming online around that time. Last order form that had them on it was 2019. If you can get them to do a Custom it's a possibility.
y2kc Posted February 28, 2022 Posted February 28, 2022 Sad, they seem to be getting played by more folks lately. Maybe they will return. Not holding breath.

I just know that the 2019 order form had it on it and the 2020 had it off. I remember them contacting me sometime in between and stating they are discontinuing the standard H-137. Wasn't that a special run?
Gitfiddler Posted February 28, 2022 Author Posted February 28, 2022 Thanks, Paul. Yes, the HOC was a special run by the custom shop, so it was apparently the last gasp for that cool slab bodied git.
big bob Posted March 1, 2022 Posted March 1, 2022 Too bad. They are great players and quite a bit lighter than a 150.
y2kc Posted March 1, 2022 Posted March 1, 2022 There are a ton of LP clones that are great. There are not many jr. type clones and this was the best in my humble opinion.
deytookerjaabs Posted March 1, 2022 Posted March 1, 2022 Is that flamed Korina?? The HOC spec looked awesome, it was bad timing for me as I was in debt to a certain guitar whilst having to sell others off, but in the pics they turned out wonderful.

When I placed that order, the 137 was already close if not discontinued. That’s why the HOC models were such a big deal. Wish more people realized that and took advantage while they still could. Now used normal 137’s cost as much as the HOC 137….
High Flying Bird Posted March 2, 2022 Posted March 2, 2022 I like the old 137s better. I have a custom gold top 2010 old style and I bought my daughter a first generation, 1997 -her birth year, used for Christmas several years ago. The newer models never clicked with me. These two are not for sale. ?

pressure Posted March 2, 2022 Posted March 2, 2022 I have a Prospect, an H170, 2 Millenniums and 2 Johnny Smiths. All discontinued and all good.
bolero Posted March 3, 2022 Posted March 3, 2022 I had an H137 in TV yellow for a long time, eventually sold it ( not long before the HOC H137 was announced! ) due to lack of use. It was a great guitar but I have other P90 gtrs I was using more. Still miss it though: it had a great neck & you can't beat a slab of mahogany with P90's!

The noiseless P90's are killer. Plus it has a huge neck that keeps my hand fatigue to a minimum.
bolero Posted March 4, 2022 Posted March 4, 2022 Yep! Mine had a nice chunky neck too ? Haha, we need bigger beer mug smileys. Especially with Bells located in Kalamazoo, too!

DavesNotHere Posted March 13, 2022 Posted March 13, 2022 This has become one of my eight favorite Heritages ?. Josh you did a great job specing these, especially the neck!
