Show n Tell: What was your FIRST Heritage Guitar?
ElChoad replied to Gitfiddler's topic in Heritage Guitars
Sadly, my first was my 2021 H-150 Standard that I got last July. I just heard of Heritage about 10-15 years ago, but nice guitars had been out of my reach. I found out a local shop is a dealer. One day, I walked in and they had an H-150 in stock that the owner said I needed to check out. (He knows my taste for single-cut style guitars.) I fell in love with it, but could not afford it, and it sold. Fast forward a couple years, and here I am with two H-150s. -
Congrats! Sorry you have to wait to enjoy it. But it will be worth it!

If we all used the same equipment, might as well start using auto-tune. Make your guitar YOUR guitar. There is no right and wrong. Only your ears. Make yourself happy. That is step one.

I had a LP that had a '57 Classic and a Super '57 in it from the factory. I waited a little over a year before I decided for sure that they weren't for me. I swapped them for some BKP Black Dogs. Those have been in there for 6 1/2 years, with no reason to swap them.

I have TonePros on 3 of my guitars already. I will look into the Faber posts for my CC. I'm always up for trying something new. I always top-wrap, so string clearance is never an issue for me.

Great kid and great parents. Would you be up for adopting a 49 year old male? Asking for a friend....

I just recently found out that TonePros makes a locking aluminum tailpiece. I may have to investigate a little and add a locking tailpiece to my Custom Core.
-
And this is my Standard.

Here is a good picture in the natural daylight. It looks awesome in this picture.

I did. I added Dunlop strap lock buttons. 🤣

I'm hoping we can get some sun around here sometime soon. I have 2 guitars that I need to get pictures of in the sunlight.

The more I play with the amps I have, the more I love my Supro Black Magick Reverb. So many great tones in one amp. It just sounds right.
-
I got backups, just in case. I put NOS tubes in and pulled the new ones out.
-
Happy NGD! That is a beautiful top!

I have had two sets of these and loved them both. I had a pair of Rebel Yells in a Studio and they were great. Very responsive to tone adjustments. I currently have a pair of Black Dogs in my Goldtop. They have been in there since '15. They just sound great in that guitar. I am lucky enough to have a dealer fairly close that was also a Gibson dealer. He had every set on his wall in an LP. Made it really easy to try them out.
-
There is nothing wrong with either of my '21s. They are both great guitars. But there is a certain romance to having one from when the original owners were running things.
-
If you need a set, let me know. I have a full set I removed from a LP Studio about 12 years ago that have been sitting in my parts box since.
-
That said, I need a real Heritage. Not the '21s I have now. They are great guitars, bit I want old school.
-
I am not a fan of gold hardware. Freaking gaudy. I am a huge fan of Wolfe's pickups. (I have a set of P-90s on the way right now for my BFG.) His Legends are actually legendary.
-
YES!!!
-
I would say they are acrylic as advertised. Not a whole lot of color variation and it doesn't dance as the light changes, not cold to the touch, and they feel pretty smooth.
-
I have a '21 CC and Standard both. How do I tell if it's real or not?

A trip to the Gibson store in Nashville.

I tried to go to the Gibson showroom in Hollywood back in 2013. Guess what I found out. It's not a showroom, it's a show-room. 🤣
