LK155 Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 LK155.. very sweet millie.. is that OSB? Nope. ASB. Antique SunBurst, I believe:
Kuz Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 Tileman... someone must have been nuts to sell you that Sweet 16.. The back is awesome.LK155.. very sweet millie.. is that OSB? M M.. of course some nice ones.. maybe I'm being dense.. but what is "bi directional multiply binding"? And I can't remember another abalone inlay, other than the Cent., nice to see. Proxmax. That black and tan is just hypnotizing .. and I remember that you put some cool pickups in it , I believe. I was nuts for selling it, and even crazier for the price I let it go for!!! Thus the reason why I am toying with the idea of a 575 custom.
FredZepp Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 I was nuts for selling it, and even crazier for the price I let it go for!!! Thus the reason why I am toying with the idea of a 575 custom. Still.... There's no shortage of Finest Quality Heritage Specimans in your collection now....

tileman Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 ok I'll throw some out there Hey Big Bob. What model is the first one with the three pickups?
big bob Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Hey Big Bob. What model is the first one with the three pickups? 1st stat dlx. 2nd h-150 custom 3rd h-150custom light weight made by katie flamm (the girl)
tileman Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 What is the Stat dlx? Do they still make that model?
big bob Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 What is the Stat dlx? Do they still make that model? stat dlx was a strat style 25 1/2 scale. they do not make them any more.
FredZepp Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Hey Big Bob. What model is the first one with the three pickups? If you mean the first pic in his post ..the single cutaway w 3 single coils... it is a 150 custom made with numerous unique features. I do love that one...!!!
mark555 Posted December 31, 2009 Author Posted December 31, 2009 Hmmm...I always thought beauty is in the eye of the beerholder! Drink enough beers and you will be guarentee'd to go home with the best looking girl, but your opinion will change in the morning......!

You're right Fred, that was the one I was asking about. Do you know if there are more of these in existence?
big bob Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 You're right Fred, that was the one I was asking about. Do you know if there are more of these in existence? as far as I know I have the only one, who knows what will turn up next week? I would imagine heritage would custom order one for you if you have the money. she has a nanner headstock as well
tileman Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 as far as I know I have the only one, who knows what will turn up next week?I would imagine heritage would custom order one for you if you have the money. she has a nanner headstock as well Hey Fred, Is this your guitar? The pickups look different.
big bob Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Hey Fred, Is this your guitar? The pickups look different. Tileman, yes that is the same guitar. I removed the lipstick pups and put her back to factory specs. she now has BG pups pickups and they sound far better.
FredZepp Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Hey Fred, Is this your guitar? The pickups look different. I WISH IT WAS MINE !!!! The 150 Custom is bigbob's... and he got it from Brentrocks. When Brent first picked up this one-of -a-kind custom axe , it had lipstick style pickups in it ( like an old Danelectro had ). But bigbob wanted a sound with more kick and found out that the lipsticks were not original anyhow. So... bigbob had custom wound pickups made, to take this one to the next level and he enjoys it much now... This guitar features a handselected top, explorer style headstock, parallelogram inlays ( I believe that is what they are called ) and custom routed for 3 single coils. BigBob can provide corrections or more info.. I can't remember the guitar player that this was made for. It would be difficult to get Heritage to make another one... but hey , for a price.... who knows..

Eric Earnest had the guitar made She has a nanner headstock not an explorrer, that's why Eric sold her, he ordered a explorrer headstock but because of the gibbon lawsuit heritage would not do it that way. and yes Fred I do really like her. still needs a trip to the tech to have the frets leveled. but sounds amazing with the new pups
