Kuz Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 Alright Greg, Way to grow that stable. 6 more Heritages to go and you will know what true love is..... LOL Congrats on your find!!!
zookroo1 Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 You did the right thing Greg. If we could all adopt more needy guitars the world would be a better place...
FredZepp Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 I was going to ask if you'd just bought this... I just checked out the pics in the gallery. That is delicious.. sweet archtop there. And I believe that you got a great deal also You are on a roll....
SouthpawGuy Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 Very very nice indeed, your GAS floweth over !
Patrick Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 Is the color of this H550 considered an Antique Sunburst?
SouthpawGuy Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 Is the color of this H550 considered an Antique Sunburst? It looks like antique burst to my eyes.
smurph1 Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 More No Willpower and No Discipline..that's what you need!!
tulk1 Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 And yet once again we see the onset of Heritageitis. No cure; no campaign to find a cure neither!! A most excellent guitar. Good job, Greg.
Connor Posted April 22, 2010 Author Posted April 22, 2010 Is the color of this H550 considered an Antique Sunburst? Yes, the finish is "Antique Sunburst". I had to look it up because the tag said "ASB". .............. and yes I think my acuisition addiction is in full swing! There is no stopping now.
pushover Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 Very very nice indeed, your GAS floweth over ! I can't leave this one alone... Thanks for the opening. My GAS certainly doesn't flow anywhere.. It's always more of a sudden release of pressure, after a long period of experiencing uncomfortable urges. The wife always shows distaste at a result, and it usually follows with a "can't you control yourself", or "I think I'm going to make you do that somewhere else". But somehow it's sooo satisfying, and I always feel so much better right afterwards. So this particular guitar looks like a very nice snag.. I'm sure it will leave you feeling releeved for weeks to come. Just be warned.. After that, the urge returns, and the pressure starts to build, and the whole cycle starts all over again. I would say, seek therapy, but that doesn't necessarily work. Just look at Brent! But then in the same vein look at Brent again and see the beauty of embracing one's nature.
Connor Posted April 23, 2010 Author Posted April 23, 2010 What year is the guitar? This H 550 is a 2008. I attenuated it and took some of the relief out of the neck last night. I switched strings from what I think were 10's to 11's the day before. It's almost at the point of alchemy now. There has been a lot of talk about gas and acquistion. I've had a lot of both in my life, so from this point on, I'm going to try to avoid embarassing myself in public or bring home anymore new guitars.

67mike Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 Very, very nice Greg..... I had that guitar on hold for my brother-in-law (he passed on it) ......he is going to kick himself when he sees the pictures of it! These Heritage Guitars are very addictive.
Steiner Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 Those are two mighty powerfully pretty fiddles you got there! Now I understand the smile in your avatar. Happy {Newer} New Guitar Day!
