@rockabilly69 nice prs !! But i guess mine is legit schaller M6 cant be wrong it came with the white package box... and the regular schaller S stamp at back of the tuning housing... perhaps on the pegs i wont not say sharp but rather pointy? Its just not ad comfortable to handle compares to grover type tuning buttons ?

Ohh the stock tuner sucks lol its not as fine tuning up... at times i experience tuning up and winding up not consistant .... and the stock tuners bushing washer and bushing on my H150CC has already turn rusty... am from singapore and humidity is a big challange...i did some cleaning thou and back on... i wasted 100 bucks venturing on schaller M6.... ouch....

Gosh... the Murphy lab rosewood board looks terrible... The Heritage H150 custom shop just looks richer more quality.... and hell the body back and neck on my H150CC tobacco sunburst looks tighter in the grain no idea how probably their wood prep? Or its naturally selected to be this... honestly i own H150CC and i still like to own 1 more .... regretted getting the H150... the quality starts at the Custom core line !! I have a soft spot for Heritage ever since i gotten the custom core... i just hope custom core line can include a nicer 5As 3D flame top option and tortise shell type side dots !! Gibsons go 2000s era their body woods just seems more uniform and tighter..... i normally hunt for the special madagascar board ...

@bolero ohh yes they weight different imo the schaller M6 seems to be slightly heavier compares to the original... schaller M6 no doubt felt more quality when touch but the sharper edge of the tuning buttons felt sharp....The original feels cheaper but tone rings better to my ears the tuning buttons ala grover type feels more comfortable .... In this expect i dont know if a gotoh could share same similar tonality for tone respect to the original.... Else i might dismantle the original and swap the gears inside the tuners i guess the tone has alot to do with the coating and materials used on for tuning shell well i been a superstrat guy for all the while and its my first time chasing tone ever since i gotten a gibson Rs and since ever gotten myself a H150CC having coming to this extend in tone chasing...

Suggest that if ya really going into the gibby path which they are indeed more vintage accurate but if ya like the less pricey LP heritage will be ya thing ... both are high quality instruments on the wood package but with gibson ya get more hardware goodness still... Forget about murphy labs they are too far fetch on price... getta well used R8 from their 2007 2004 2003 era and if your lucky u could spot a special madagadcar board which they fetch warmer tone

Yes... it sound abit more mello and acoustically less resonant with the schaller M6 and tuner buttons were also sharper ouch disappointment... i didnt know tuner change could result on such a thing lol... i currently did some clean up on the stock and reinstalled back and i have back the toneful qualities again... I just have no idea does the gotoh 510 will be good to go....Since quite afew have the stock tuners of their H150CC changed to gotoh whom i know... wonder what are their experiences

Hi peeps !! I had manage to getta set of schaller M6 and tried retrofitting on my H150CC and sadly it sort of changes the original tone of my H150CC with its stock gotoh-ish tuners.... It just sound less bright imo and did a drop test vs these two and the tone diff was drastic... basically the stock tuners were slightly brighter lol i know it sound funny here but i didnt like the M6... Now that i am thinking if i could look at gotoh 510 tuners ? Not sure if the gotoh 510 tuners would be same material used on stock tuner?

It just became stable when i screw down the pole piece straight to the bottom end.... It still has the pinnacle API locking on the abr1 bridge Am not sure if i do want to try fixing it with a wooden dowel and retap the threads.... so far the pole piece are stable as solid being screwed down to the bottom end...

Hi peeps am concern about slight wobble on my H150CC bridge pole piece as i actually took out and back a few times now i realised even with the pole piece insert 2/4 (estimate) in length it wobbles abit as i gently rock the pole piece unlike the other side it was hard solid... So much that i have to to screw the pole piece till the end and its rock solid.... would there be a concern as i think the intial few thread on the body perhaps has worn... but visual check from the surface of the hole still look ok not enlarged thou lol.... Is this normal due to engineering factor when they taper the screw holes for the pole piece ?

I share the same opinion... and it should have come with a famous 59s neck profile and a consistent 5A quilt

Wow !!!! These are so rad !!! Thats you in the pic? These black limba are nice !!! Like the 3 piece neck and the front H logo which was a transition for a short period !!

Was that the H137 he did few years back?

Would really like to getta Pete farmer build one H150 or H157 ....perhaps someday !?

Wow so Marvim lamb is your grandpa? Amazing !!!

Nice topic !! Share pics on this beauty !!
