brentrocks Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 ...and had the frets dressed and filed. When i bought it i was worried that it had to be re-fretted, but my repair guy said let me have it for a few days. He did an awesome job. He replaced the nut, filed the frets, re-set the action/neck. The action is super low and plays wonderful now!!! Check out what he did!!!

Dick Seacup Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 The yellow one. It is out of place. Send it to me. Now. Quickly! ;D Great shots!
High Flying Bird Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 Very nice looking children. Every time I look at photos of Heritage guitars I am impressed with the finish.
doggy1972 Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 Estan muy bonitas senor.Love the new frets.You gonna give us some clips soon Brent?
brentrocks Posted February 26, 2008 Author Posted February 26, 2008 You gonna give us some clips soon Brent? i wish i could....i have no recording equipment.
Thundersteel Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Brent, You need to keep those Heritages apart from each other. They have been known to reproduce if they get too close!
skydog Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Brent, is this the one that arrived w/ the broken headstock?
brentrocks Posted February 27, 2008 Author Posted February 27, 2008 Brent, is this the one that arrived w/ the broken headstock? no it is not...it is a different one...the broken 170 went back to the seller
Windstring Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 no it is not...it is a different one...the broken 170 went back to the seller Very wise decision. That is a nice "gaggle" of guitars you have there.....or perhaps a different collective noun should be used...."harem"? Cheers.

Mikenov Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 I am driving out to Kalamazoo on Wednesday. Taking my 150 to have Ren take a look at it. Its got a twisted neck and I have been trying to hydrate and hang it but I am betting they have much better resources to straighten and or fix this situation for me. I will probably be leaving her therBe for them to do what they do... I am bummed but looking forward to getting her playing the way she should be.

Mikenov Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Dude, 1st. sorry to hijack your thread.... I should have started a new topic. And yes. I did buy it new and I think it will fall under warranty but its been past a year so they would have to be pretty cool to work with me on this. It sounded like they were willing to work with me in terms of this being a warranty type deal. Either way, I am looking forward to the day off and quiet time driving to Kalamazoo. I still love that guitar I just want it to be right.

Mikenov Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Yep, I am going to try and get there around noon, talk to Ren, take the tour, hit Bells, then drive back. Unless of course, they can fix it up that day but I doubt it. I am going to have a car full of goodies! (mini kegs). I know I am probably repeating myself but due to widespread corruption in Illinois regarding beer distribution, Bells pulled out of illinois market entirely and you can't get their beer anywhere in the state. Besides Heritage, Kalamazoo is the home to one of the top beers in the country in my opinion and I plan on stocking up while i am in mecca.
