Here's a photo.  I think in fact I've been fooling myself (not that it matters): it's just dark rosewood I am sure.  Ebony has a finer grain I think.

 

 

Correct, that is Rosewood. Nice!

Hello,

I have two H-150s: one that I bought 2nd hand in about 1999 after seeing it in a then-local shop window is a really nice yellowy flame maple top and has quite un-LP-ish hardware including a roller bridge, and which I think has an ebony fingerboard (if its rosewood it's very dark); and one which I bought new in 2003 I think so I could have a guitar at each end of my 400-mile weekly commute, which is a not-so-nice purply colour, is really too heavy and has a much fatter neck than the first one, but has HRWs, which I found difficult at first but would not be without now, even if the guitar is otherwise not so nice (it makes my shoulder numb).  HRWs through a KTR are a thing to behold.

A few weeks ago I gave in and bought a rather sad single-pickup H-575 as a friend for my ES-175, which had previously had the standard truss-rod break, which failed again on the way to me.  That's now being mended (for money off): I quite like guitars which force me to play better to make them sound good, and I'm hoping this will be even more in that regard than the 175 is.  There's a thread about this guitar here.

I live in the UK, I'd like to be able to play jazz, but I'm not good enough (yet).  I should say that the two H-150s were really bought for me by my wife: I'm lucky to have her.

Picture of the two H-150s below: the H-575 is being mended.

Both look great!

Have a close up shot of the fretboard of the lemon one?

Actually, just looked through the serial number decoding thread. First two letters are AJ, so must be 2020 build.

Welcome aboard. You have a classic one there. Congratulations!

What year is that beauty?

Thanks! Yeah its got a great burst pattern too. I believe its a 2019. I got it as a floor model from CME. The listing didn't say, the paperwork doesn't indicate the year, so im only guessing.

Hey all - new here, new to Heritage, but definitely not new to LPs lol. 

Just got a new (used) H150 in Vintage Cherry Sunburst. Its got a great vintage looking top to it! Lots of movement in the figuring. The neck profile is great, I really like it. It smells just like a Custom Shop Gibbons as well, which I like that more refined/subdued vanilla like scent.

Sounds and plays great. Looks great, pictures don't do it justice. I really like the dark fretboard with the MOP inlays...the inlays act like a prism. I also like how the back has the same body round over as a LP Reissue.
