Those guitars are just sick.

 

Please send them to me for "evaluation"

 

>:D >:D >:D

 

The H-140 is really sweet, I've had it for maybe 10 years, bought it as "NOS" from a dealer three or four years after it was made, I ordered the H-137 through Wolfe Guitars a couple of years ago because I wanted to get an ebony fingerboard to match the other one. They're both pretty sweet, but the H-140 remains "#1".

Does that mean you are not going to send it to me for "evaluation" after all ?

Well, it would require an obscenely large, non-refundable deposit.

 

I've thought about selling it if I could find a left handed heritage collector that would cherish it, but it wouldn't go cheap.

That is one fine 140, I'm not sure if I qualify as a left handed Heritage collector but I would cherish that one !

I'm with you.

 

Blazer - it's customary to sacrifice one of your collection to a senior member of the forum (hell, I lost a Golden Eagle to Brent).  Since SouthPaw is the senior lefty, you must ship it to him.  If your presence here is powerful, the elders may return it; else, chalk up another one for the virgin in the volcano.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that but it is customary to read your PM's ....  :wink:

Before I "sacrifice" a guitar I'd have to see proof positive that he's the senior lefty. I was here when they started the forum too. Do we have membership dates somewhere?

 

If he is senior and wants the H-140 I'd be glad to at least consider a sacrifice to him, all he would need to do is to pay the $2,500 shipping and handling . . . . .  ;D

Give me a H-157 quilted top in Deep Cherry Translucent.  Make it as heavy as possible.

 

Reminds me of "Two Ton Tony", my H-150 Gold Top. The heaviest chunk of mahogany, at 13.5 lbs, that wasn't part of a tree or a boat.

I'm now use to the weight of my 150.

I did two gigs with it during the weekend, normally I would do the last set with my PRS but not this time.

The tones I was getting with my 150 w/Seth's and my Mesa Lone Star were just too infectious.

I think I may have moved less during the last set from the weight but I would rather play sitting down than with out my H150.

The guys I play with have all noted my obsessiveness over my 150 :)

They've always known me to be a strat player and were a bit surprised when I didn't pick up my strat to do the SRV and Rory Gallagher tunes we do.

I just cant put it down, regardless of weight.

I really like the dark cherry finishes that Gibson used.  I like the mass for the increase in sustain and cajones.

 

I have this on a few of my guitars and really don't understand why/when it fell out of favor.  You usually only see it these days on lesser Gibsons LPs and SGs.  A shame  :rolleyes:

Only 1 guitar ... any Heritage?

 

Good question. I am currently without one ... so something I have been thinking about for a while.

 

H155 in in vintage sunburst with a set of HRWs?

H535 in almond burst with Seth Lovers?

Roy Clark signature?

 

Really, I think it would be the H150 that recently left my collection. It may take a while, but it will come back home ... 8)
