1985 Heritage H 140...early production...custom order

[brentrocks]

A very rare and unique Heritage up for grabs here.

This is a 1985 Heritage H140 custom ordered with a hockey stick neck.

It came from the factory with a Kahler 2300 trem system. Fortunately, it is the older style that retro-fits on a standard stoptail/bridge configuration. When i got it, I took off the Kahler and put it back to a Nashville style bridge/tailpiece setup. The factory original Kahler and mounting studs....also a locking nut and bar are ALL INCLUDED IN THE SALE.....in case you want to put it back to stock.

It suffered a headstock break sometime in its life...it has been repaired and is solid...no tuning problems.

This guitar displays many dings, dents, scratches. Perfectly reliced.

BUT...this guitar features:

One piece Honduran mahogany body and neck
HEAVILY FLAMED maple top
Dark, streaky rosewood board (looks Brazilian, but i cannot confirm)
Bone nut
Locking tuners
Chrome Nashville style bridge and tailpiece
Seymour Duncan SLASH CUSTOM SHOP bridge pickup and SD SLASH NECK pickup
CTS 500k pots and Russian PIO caps
Medium C neck carve...not super slim, not a log
Plush hard shell case

The frets show minor wear...still have plenty of life left in them.

This H140 delivers a full, rich rock/blues tone from the bridge pickup and a fat, creamy tone from the neck pickup. The setup is low with superior playability that is easy on the back!!!

ALL THIS FOR ONLY....$700 plus shipping

Thanks for looking!

Well, it has a beautiful top but the headstock and dot markers kill it for me. Nasty break too.

Ah, the '80s. When guitars like that seemed like a good idea.

Not dissing it, just... sometimes I wonder what we were all thinking.

I agree with you on this. I have a guitar I bought in 1990 and it is only appropriate to pull it out at a Poison or Warrant reunion show or for an 80's parody video. It's a great sounding guitar, but the looks are pure 80's.

IMO better looking than the usual Heritage headstock. It's unabashedly weird, instead of just plain wrong.

I love the build quality and playability of Heritage guitars.... especially the H150. However, the headstock does take some getting used to. It has always seemed too small to me. Not sure what I would suggest in its place though. I have grown to accept the headstock and even like it. The guitars are just too great for me to dismiss them because of the headstock.

But I understand exactly what you are saying.
