They will build it if you will pay for it!

pressure Posted August 29, 2022 Posted August 29, 2022 All of Charlie Watts clothes were bespoke, he was quite the clothes horse.
DetroitBlues Posted August 30, 2022 Author Posted August 30, 2022 Yup, we are dreaming. Heritage has talked about a museum. It would be cool to see a represented model on display from all the years. Longer they wait, the harder it will be to find good, clean examples.
greatmutah2112 Posted September 5, 2022 Posted September 5, 2022 Man, the 555 and 157 both should be readily available. I always liked the 555 and it’s unique inlays. For less upscale models, I liked the H-170 and also the H-110. I know it wasn’t too far removed from the H-170 but the 110 had a neat upper horn to me.

skydog52 Posted September 6, 2022 Posted September 6, 2022 I sold a red one to JR Clark and he liked it so much he bought a blue one. He's a good person and musician. J R Clark (jrcblues.com)
DetroitBlues Posted September 7, 2022 Author Posted September 7, 2022 Went looking for a particular pickup today and clicked on a link and saw this background photo… Last couple of times I visited Joe’s Music in Eastpointe they had one maybe two Heritages way up high and out of reach…
houndhome Posted September 7, 2022 Posted September 7, 2022 From my previous posting of H170 and H516 coming up for auction in the U.K.(today) the H170 made £800 and the H516 made £1100 on the hammer (+approx. 26.4% buyers premium).I'm sure someone can easily convert to current price in dollars.
