Yes!!! The boss told someone at the Gibson factory (I don’t think it was Pete) to dispose of a huge pile of old PAF pickups lying in a corner

Nice!!!

I like the sculpted heel joint

It’s just paint chips. I was really surprised too. Nice full neck carve.

No it’s passive

The H120… This was Heritage’s entry level single cut. Rumored to have been built from leftover Gibson Marauder and S1 body blanks. No case. No bag. Talk about being played hard and put away wet…. This guitar fits the bill!!!! Chunky 3 piece maple neck. Bolt on neck. Mahogany body. Single Bill Lawrence pickup (leftover from Gibson). Single volume control. This baby has been well loved. The body is beat to ****. But it plays and sounds soooooo goooood. I’m not sure on production numbers for the H120, but if I were to guess, I’d say probably around 100 made? Probably less. Very light also. Only 6 lbs. 9 ozs. Yet another piece of Heritage history found in its back yard. I love finding these old treasures and bringing them back to life!!!

Wow!!

Very nice

Great post KUZ!! I did a similar comparison a couple years ago. My findings were tilted towards the 150 a little more than yours, but still very similar to yours. Beautiful guitars!!!

Wow. Very nice

88…..10.5 lbs 22….8.5 lbs

The Heritage H150 Production of the H150 started in 1988. The first generation of the H150 (made in 1988 and 1989) had a body design that MIRRORED the Gibson Les Paul standard!!! It was rumored that some of the early H150s were actually built with leftover Gibson bodies from when Gibson left Kalamazoo in 1984, that were bought at the auction, bought by the original Heritage Guitar founders. Heritage was threatened with a lawsuit by Gibson in 1990 and Heritage changed the body design….basically changed the slope of the horn cut. ….and the H150 has basically stayed that way to this day!! It fun to see the evolution of a local company like Heritage, the history and the instruments from that historic building over the years! Pictured is a 1988 H150 (L) and a 2022 H150 Custom core (R). See the differences!!!
