brentrocks Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 Well, i have to admit i am a little on the "impulse" side of life when it comes to guitars. But i really out did myself this time. When i closed the deal on my '86 170, i had actually pulled the trigger on a 1998 H 170 CMSD. I thought, well I'll just offer it to one of the forum members, I'm sure somebody would like to have it...i got a good deal on it and i would be able to pass that good deal along to someone else. Actually one member had dibs...i had shared my story w/ him and he had expressed intrest. Anyway, it came today...and i didnt want to sell it!!!! It is so friggin awesome...the SD upgrade w/ the push/pulls is such a great setup!!! those are great pickups!!! the tone possabilities are endless!!! The neck feels wonderful. There is a little bit of binding seperation in the cutaways, but its not the end of the world. no fret wear at all!! I guess it is a good thing that 555 deal fell through yesterday...i would be in a real pickle!!! So now I'm sitting here...and there is the '86 140, '88 STAT, '86 170 and the '98 170...and I'm thinking....that is a f***** great set of Heritages right there!!! So i think i must keep it. I need some psychiatric help....I'm Heritage crazy!!!! http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y52/ebmmquilt/170%20SDCM/P1010013.jpg[/img] http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y52/ebmmquilt/170%20SDCM/P1010016.jpg[/img] http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y52/ebmmquilt/170%20SDCM/P1010010.jpg[/img] http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y52/ebmmquilt/170%20SDCM/p1010017.jpg[/img] http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y52/ebmmquilt/170%20SDCM/p1010011.jpg[/img]
High Flying Bird Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 That's a purty one too. You need to set them all up and do a family photo.
brentrocks Posted February 15, 2008 Author Posted February 15, 2008 that is a good idea...I may have that later ;D
Gitfiddler Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 Brent, those photos of the two H-170's together looks sorta like a wedding pose! Or maybe it's a Honeymoon shot! :-* Oh my!! You'd better separate those two, or you might end up with yet another little guitar. You could name the offspring 'H-85'. Great score.........AGAIN!
AnH555 Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 Yeah, the last thing you need is a Little One.
Jorgen-Denmark Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 Nice setup, and thinking of your dedication to Heritage, there should be plenty room for more :-) - you haven't got any hollowbody in your line up. By the way, nice to see both of the two 170's in good shape.
Kuz Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 If you are looking for help here to stop your Heritage buying compulsion, you've come to the wrong place. Good score.

brentrocks Posted February 15, 2008 Author Posted February 15, 2008 That's a purty one too. You need to set them all up and do a family photo. that was a great idea...here it is ;D thanks guys...I'm really liking these guitars a lot!! they are really fun to play http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y52/ebmmquilt/170%20SDCM/P1010014.jpg[/img] http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y52/ebmmquilt/170%20SDCM/P1010015-1.jpg[/img]
Thundersteel Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 OK Brent...intervention time...you have an addiction! Now please step away from the "Add to Cart" button!
antojado Posted February 16, 2008 Posted February 16, 2008 I told you you would keep them both! ;D Glad to see everything showed up ok and you're enjoying it. It really is a great guitar. I know I'll miss it, but the taxman will be happy now! :-[
Dick Seacup Posted February 16, 2008 Posted February 16, 2008 I think we need a tone report on the differences between the StagMag and Schaller pups.
brentrocks Posted February 16, 2008 Author Posted February 16, 2008 I think we need a tone report on the differences between the StagMag and Schaller pups. Believe it or not, the Shallers actually seem a little hotter. The thing i like is the twang you get with the push/pulls on the 89....and then roll the tone down, oh baby...its like bluesy/rock heaven. The SDs are definately cooler...the 86 is a lot warmer...i'm not a coneseur on tone, but these guitar definately make me smile. OK Brent...intervention time...you have an addiction! Now please step away from the "Add to Cart" button! LMAO!!
jacques Posted February 16, 2008 Posted February 16, 2008 Does your mother know all this, Brenty? Like I mentioned elsewhere: don't pull out the Schallers too soon! And since you have different guitars anyway, you can use them in different settings with different purposes. Can you record something and post it?

I wish i could record....really the only thing i can do is make a video w/ my camcorder and post it on youtube, but the sound quality from cam to computer is horrible!!!
