  1. Just because Yoslate made his Core look bigger.... take that!
  2. Awesome, now rock on!
  3. They are A3 magnets so LOW output, brighter, clear, very tight low end, not a lot of harmonics, almost brittle until overdriven to get the harmonic distortion. I think if Heritage would have used A2s in the bridge, it would have been a very nice combo of clarity A3s neck pup and the push & mids of an A2 bridge pup. Since they both have A3 (just like the Gibson Custom Shop CustomBuckers), I found myself wanting just a "little more of everything" so I put a pair of Throbak SLE-101s (A2s in Neck & Bridge) in my Custom Core and BOOM... I got the tone I wanted. I also have a set of the A3 CustomBuckers in '62 335 Custom Shop Reissue and they sound just like the Parson Street pups. So, the A3 CustomBuckers and Parson St pups are popular, they just aren't my cup of tea. I need to get some Throbaks for the 335 and sell both the CB pups and the Parson St pups. YMMV
  4. Those Zinky amps are SUPER cool!! -What year is it? -For some reason I thought Zinky amps were all solid state. But I saw the overdrive switch/channel, are they tube driven? If so, what the tube layout? Congrats, super nice find!
  5. The guitar he bought says, "Built by apprentice of Tom Bartlett (Bartlett Guitars)". So is it a Bartlett guitar or made by someone who used to work there and it is not a Bartlett guitar. It is gorgeous, whoever made it.
  6. I have heard Greg Koch say many times that the Fender relic'd guitars sound better due to the wear & checking of the finish that allows for more vibration than a NOS guitar with no checking or aging. ( I have also heard Tim Peirce, Jason Isbell, Joe Bonamassa, and other players echo the same sentiment). I am paraphrasing, but they believe the finish is thinner on aged/checked guitars and believe the aged/relic'd guitars are more open and vibrate more. I do believe there are incredible and amazing non-reliec'd guitars. My experience has been comparing 10 or so Cust Shop Strats & Teles (aged vs non-aged) the aged ones sound more open, louder, and resonate. I am not trying to convince anyone, this has just been my experience.
  7. For me, the advantages of the Custom Core over a Standard 150 are: -guaranteed weight of being under 8.5lbs (which I heard from a dealer that Heritage is no longer guarantying the weight, so make sure you ask for a CC weight) Mine is 8.4lbs. (I personally believe and have heard through my own experiences, that lighter guitars are more resonate and alive.) -I also believe and have personally experienced that "aged" guitars sound more open, drier, and resonate to me. I think the checking of the nitro allows the body to vibrate more. -I prefer the "feel" of the aged CC as it feels old and broken in. -I prefer the look of the CC headstock. -I trusted the advice and direction on the CC build of Edwin Wilson, formerly of Gibson Custom Shop. ***PLEASE, these are only my opinions, yours may vary. I have owned 4 standard 150s and currently my CC Aged 150. Was it worth the increase in price for the CC over a standard? For me, yes it was, for the reasons listed above. ***
  8. I won't even attempt to write anything as well craft as this. All I will say is I absolutely agree with the statement and... Jon, sincerely Thank You!
  9. LOL, I "Ripple". Back in the day we used to do that song too.
  10. Well Lance, all I can say about your post here is; I don't know, don't really care. Let there be songs to fill the air.
  11. Wow, that does have a GREAT R&R crunch. I wasn't expecting it to sound that good!
  12. Gorgeous and I am so glad you were able to keep that baby!
  13. Now that I have seen the Centurion, it is officially 2024!
