sscandyman Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Howdie all new heritage owner here, im a long time G&L fan who decided to get himslef a G-brand. while on a trip to Austin Tx. i played about every paul in the town and ended up being highly unimpressed with their quality so i ended up getting myself a H-150. http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu98/sscandyman/026.jpg[/img] got it in my hands and it played great and sounded good but thought it could sound better so i swapped out the schaller pup's for some burstbuckers , threw on a tone pros bridge and she plays as good as she sounds! anyway been a lurker here for awhile and since i am now an official heritage owner figured id finally post and say hey !

Kuz Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Fantastic! do we have a secret handshake or mebbe decoder rings ?!?!? ;D No, we just have safely invested in gold. Congrats & welcome aboard. Click to enlarge
sscandyman Posted March 12, 2009 Author Posted March 12, 2009 well thanks for the warm welcome all. im not sure how good of an investment my GT is. got some healthy dings on her face, but the price was right and i just love that classic gold ! good investment or not doesn't really matter since i dont see her going anywhere any time soon.
morbidrockgod Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 No, we just have safely invested in gold. Congrats & welcome aboard. Click to enlarge Hey Kuz, was the pickguard on the one on the left an original Gibson or an aftermarket one? Thanks!

I was kind of referring to the fact that investing in "real" gold is a safer investment now a days (just kind of my poor attempt at humor comparing real gold to a gold top finish). No GT finishes are no more valuable than other Heritage finishes but they sure are pretty.
Kuz Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Hey Kuz, was the pickguard on the one on the left an original Gibson or an aftermarket one? Thanks! Both pickguards are "Gibson" brand aftermarket pickguards. One for the humbuckers and and one for p-90s. My thought is that pre-1984 guitars coming out of Parsons St Kalamazoo used that shape pickguard, and since Gibson packed up and left, why should I change the shape of the pickguard because THEY left. My Heritages are more Gibson to me than the new mass produced Gibbys made in Nashville, so I choose to leave the "original" pickguards on the "Original" guitars still made at Parsons St in K-zoo.

Dings on her face? PERFECT! Just memories from many a good nights playing. Welcome to the club!
paul144 Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 welcome to the Gold Top Club! I found my 2002 last year, love it! And only 9lbs 2 oz. I put '57 classics in, it came with HRWs (I know...blasphemy!) but they were too "Jazzy" for me. Changed out the Grovers to Grover tulip Deluxes, and did the Faber tone lock/aluminum bridge. http://pic90.picturetrail.com/VOL2142/2292445/19281588/351792187.jpg[/img]

fxdx99 Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 That's a dang puuurrrty geetar! There's GOLD in them there curves! Nice story on the journey to finding it, too. Welcome. Wow, some gorgeous GTs here. I'm a goldtop member, too, and it's a Parson's St guitar, but not as pretty as it's been thru some times... umm... the headstock has some other name on it, too 8) http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh237/fxdx99/mewithlp.jpg[/img]

Dick Seacup Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Judging by the short sleeves, it must have been near the end of ice fishing season, eh, Randy?
fxdx99 Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Judging by the short sleeves, it must have been near the end of ice fishing season, eh, Randy? ;D ;D Was only 4 below on the way to work today - a veritable heat wave. Spring is here!!!
shook494 Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Welcome!!! Nice GT. Both of my 150'2 have dings on their faces. ;D It gives em character.
sscandyman Posted March 12, 2009 Author Posted March 12, 2009 yeah the dings dont bother me a bit, the only problem i have with it at this point is looks like the hole for the pickguard was misdrilled so i have an extra hole showing.i just gotta get around to getting some creme pickguard material and bustin out the bandsaw
