guido983 Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Hi, I'm an italian guy and I'm sorry for my bad english. Someone in my country is selling this guitar, calling it a Heritage of 1988: I think that it may be a h-157, but I'm not sure. What do you think about it?
shook494 Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Definitely a 157. A serial number would tell us the year. Welcome to the forum.
FredZepp Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Welcome... That is a really nice H-157, I have one similiar to it . The serial number would tell us the date , but also there is probably a label under the back cover that will tell model and also anything unusual. The first thing that I notice is that pickups have 2 adjusting screws each (not 4 ) , so it would be interesting to see what kind they are... it would maybe tell us that on the label if it was something different installed at the factory. (Hey Brent, look a Gibby Cut also...! )

brentrocks Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 if its a '88...the gibby cut is certainly a dead givaway....i would like to see a headstock pic too WELCOME TO THE CLUB....good luck in your hunt!!!
MatZen Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 I hope it works out. It looks like a mighty fine guitar. Welcome to the club!
bolero Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 yeah, be sure to give us a report if you buy it... FWIW I owned an historic '57 RI black beauty from Gibson & sold it....I prefer Heritage gtrs & I guarantee that 157 will kick major wads of booty!!

I had to see how a translater would handle the "will kick major wads of booty" , so....it becomes... "sarà inaugurato grandi rotoli di bottino" and translates back as.. "will kick major booty rolls".... pretty good... ( I just wanted to share that )
