brentrocks Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 In the never-ending quest to find the "perfect" H 150 silverburst, i have found yet another candidate..... This guitar started its life as a H 150P...owned buy a professional/gigging musician who is a friend of Pete's. The headstock was broken off some time ago and the guitar was brought to Pete to have it repaired. The break was too severe, it had to have a new neck. So Pete got a salvaged neck off a #2...Mahogany, Ebony board w/ traps and bound peghead!!! The neck was glued, the guitar was sanded, ready for paint and the owner decided to switch to a 535 for his #1....and told Pete to sell the 150!!! The price was right...so it will be [glow=red,2,300]SILVERBURST III[/glow] http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y52/ebmmquilt/Silverburst%203/P1010008.jpg[/img] http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y52/ebmmquilt/Silverburst%203/P1010010.jpg[/img] http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y52/ebmmquilt/Silverburst%203/P1010011.jpg[/img] http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y52/ebmmquilt/Silverburst%203/P1010012.jpg[/img] http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y52/ebmmquilt/Silverburst%203/P1010015.jpg[/img] http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y52/ebmmquilt/Silverburst%203/P1010017.jpg[/img] http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y52/ebmmquilt/Silverburst%203/P1010013.jpg[/img]
SouthpawGuy Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Natural with gold hardware would also be cool :afro: :angel:
tulk1 Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Natural with gold hardware would also be cool :afro: :angel: Natural Poplar? Would be different, that's for sure.
fxdx99 Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Might as well rename Heritage sliverburst to Brentburst since you're providing the only existing models to market. and, ahem... didn't you JUST sell a 150P silverburst THIS WEEK. Geez, man, what kept ya from starting this one! 8)

Geez, man, what kept ya from starting this one! 8) i just didnt like the dots...i know that is petty, i actually knew about this one months ago, but the original owner never gave Pete a final answer on when or if he was gonna keep it or sell it. i just found out that Silverburst III was available a couple days ago. That was why i decided to move forward w. Silverburst II....wasnt really what i wanted, but i thought i would give it a try and see how i liked it.

Thanks man...i'm thinking the 3rd time is a charm ;D Silverburst I......looked awesome, sounded awesome, played great....TOO HEAVY Silverburst II.....looked ok, sounded good, played ok, nice and light but no extras(bling) Silverburst III....will look aweesome, will sound awesome (HRW bridge, Golden 50 neck), will be light (poplar body), will have the bling (traps, bound neck, bound head), will play good (i hope)
squawken Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 If you were to open a music store I would probably be one of your biggest customers ;D
Thundersteel Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 That's some good-looking wood. Another vote to keep it natural.
brentrocks Posted April 11, 2009 Author Posted April 11, 2009 That's some good-looking wood. Another vote to keep it natural. ...SORRY, NOT GONNA HAPPEN...
SouthpawGuy Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 ...SORRY, NOT GONNA HAPPEN... but Brent ..... where's the love ? ;D
Dick Seacup Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 I prefer ebony boards over rosewood. Good luck on the project!
barrymclark Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Me too..Rosewood good..Ebony Luscious..Agreed.
Kuz Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Me too..Rosewood good..Ebony Luscious.. Sorry, wrong. Rosewood = sweet, creamy, warm Ebony = ear piercing, gritty, less mids, ect Just my .02, YVMV!
brentrocks Posted April 24, 2009 Author Posted April 24, 2009 it could be really dark rosewood too? i'm just not sure?
brentrocks Posted May 8, 2009 Author Posted May 8, 2009 stopped over to Pete's today to check on the progress of my Silverburst 150.... he has the black coat shot on my guitar. just a couple pics from my phone....
fxdx99 Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 Wheez... I am your father, Brent... come to the dark side.
Dick Seacup Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 Wheez... I am your father, Brent... come to the dark side. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!
