Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, behold the one and only (as far as I know) double quilt top H-157.

 

And one of me in action

[FredZepp]

Excellent... Quilt front and back w mahogany center...

 

The finish is cool too. BlackandTanandBlack ...

 

Thanks for the pics...

[schundog]

SSWWWEEETTTT!! I almost thought it was a H-155, with the front and back like that, but the pickup switch and lower bout obviously make it a 157. Nice guitar, and welcome!

Thanks for the welcome, it actually was supposed to be "cobalt blue", but it ended up being "cobalt purple". From a distance, though, it does look black, or at least dark.

My mistake... yeah, I assumed trans black....

 

Do you have any photos where it shows the blue/purple shading?

 

It looks like you have a good time rockin' on this axe...

[majorage]

Unfortunately, the finish is so dark the quilt is kind of hard to see, and I don't have any other good pics. She's a sweet axe, though. Not great for metal, which is my style of choice, but when I'm playing with some friends in their classic rock band it is perfect. The Seth Lover pickups aren't super high output, but the EQ on them gives them that awesome midrange cut. It's a nice departure from the rest of my metal guitars.

I really dig this duo tone stuff Heritage has been doing! A real beauty you got there!

[majorage]

Thanks, Barry, I'm glad you like it. This one was totally custom to my specs, and I don't think the guys at Heritage were thrilled about it since I ordered it in 2004 and received it in 2008. 3 1/2 years of waiting, Ren will tell you i"m a persistent $@%&.

Geez! But it looks sweet though. Put a different pickup in the bridge and it will do metal.

 

Seth's are just awesome for jazz though!

[majorage]

Well, I have another 157 in white with a 500t in the bridge and it takes care of the metal just fine. It also is one of the sweetest playing guitars I have ever found. Some guitars just have that magic that makes them play like there aren't any strings at all.

[High Flying Bird]

Purple doesn't show up to well on digital images. I'll bet it doesn't suck!

[brentrocks]

YEAH BABY!!!!

 

Welcome to the HOC!!!

[Dick Seacup]

Very nice, unique guitar! Bonus points for following protocol and immediately posting pics! Welcome to The Club!

[Thundersteel]

3-1/2 years of waiting? You've got more patience than I do!

 

That one is a real looker!

[FredZepp]

I can pickup a little of the blue /purple in the pic, nice.

 

And yes, this guitar can lean more towards some higher gain sounds with a pickup change, but the Seths are sweet for classic rock.

[bluescat]

Love the guitar...and the Goldtone!

[majorage]

Bluescat, you have a keen eye, my friend. When the light on a Goldtone turns red, other guitar players turn green with envy.

[JWALKER]

Very very nice, congratulations. Beautiful guitar.
