Bon chance, mon amis! If you get the 357, I think you should ship the jazzbox up to me just to, you know, keep the peace at home and all. Heh.
shook494 Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 This is so exciting and I'm not even buying it. Good luck with all of that. Can't wait to see it.
SouthpawGuy Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Todd is MIA today??? maybe tomorrow? That's a real bummer ! Hopefully tomorrow ...
brentrocks Posted June 8, 2009 Author Posted June 8, 2009 That's a real bummer ! it really pisses me off when people cant have the decentcy to return a phone call! its not that tough
jacques Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Too bad, if people don't react. Probably the guy is too crazy 'bout his tele. Maybe interesting to mention that the German 357 on Ebay fetches good bids. It is heading for the 1000 dollars, whereas the other week I just missed a 140 with Kahler Spyder trem and EMGs that went for around 500 dollars.

I guess that is cold comfort for Brent as he also keeps an eye on it.
High Flying Bird Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 it really pisses me off when people cant have the decentcy to return a phone call. Sound like the kind of guy who sells weed. If he's holding he won't answer the phone............. or so I have heard.
brentrocks Posted June 11, 2009 Author Posted June 11, 2009 its still in the works...not giving up hope yet
jaywolfe Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 I own a mint Natural one & will shoot some pics soon & post 'em in the Gallery. I've sold a few, including a couple to bruce Bloethner- who has the largest owner collection of Heritage's I believe. I'll see if we can get Bruce to post here. He has photos with as many as 40 of his Heritages. I'm pretty sure he hold the individual owner record. Most of his are special one-off custom order Heritages. Heritage's problem with this model is their settlement agreement with Gib. to not use the Firebird style headstock & the pickguard. They'd need to either use their standard 3 on a side headstock- which won't work visually............or design a new 6 on a side type. Although Bruce has broached this subject recently with me & Margol- I wouldn't hold my breath. Ya never know, as Margol can get it done if motivated & prodded. I'll shoot some pics of mine.
jaywolfe Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 OK- Pics just posted in the owner's gallery- my Natural H357, 1989, mint, gold hardware, black original rectangular case, neck through body, 7.75 lbs. Kinda cool. Jay Wolfe
brentrocks Posted June 11, 2009 Author Posted June 11, 2009 i would love to see them Jay!!! the one i'm bartering fro now is red...and it is gutted...i will need all new hardware, pups, pots, tuners, etc.
tulk1 Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 Linking it in for the Jayster: Dayum. That is nice! I'd be curious to know just how many Heritages Jay personally owns. I've got 3, only one of which might get collectors status some day. But that 357 ... should be a collectors piece right now!
SouthpawGuy Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 Jay that is just superb !!! Now I have to pick my jaw up off the floor ....
zookroo1 Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 How many years did Heritage make the 357? I wonder how many they made?
skydog52 Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 When I was at Heritage today Ren was putting the finishing touches on one of these guitars. I asked him about it and he said that was a special order for one of their artists. Didn't ask who though.
RJLII Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 I've always thought that the Firebird/H-357 style guitars made for a very cool visual. I was jacked when I found a Naturalburst Firebird in a store and could try it out. I still dig the visual aspects, but after strapping it on I'm not sure I get what the fuss is all about. This particular specimen was really neck heavy and just felt weird. If you took your hand off the neck it dropped right to the floor. The tone was nice (mini's), but I couldn't get past the feel. It's the first and only one I've played. Maybe not typical? I'm not trying to wreck your buzz Brent, but I'm curious, what draws you (and others if they'd care to comment) to the H-357? Thanks for helping me "get it"
