Here is a Heritage you don’t see every day…
1989 Heritage H150 Deluxe LIMITED EDITION. #45 of ?????
PRE LAWSUIT Gibson body shape.
Multi ply binding on the top of the body.
Bound flame maple topped headstock.
Belly cut
MONSTER FLAME TOP
Bound flame maple pickguard (in the case)
60s neck
Stock Schaller pickups
Tonepros locking tailpiece and bridge
Grover tuners.A very rare Heritage here! In 1988 and 1989, the first H150s very closely mirrored the Gibson Les Paul (Before Gibson treated to sue heritage) This is one of the early ones and a Deluxe to boot!!! The body cut is exactly like a Les Paul Standard.
The 150 Deluxe is a blinged out 150. Premium woods, belly cut, bound matching headstock, multi ply body binding and a matching flame maple pickguard.
#45 is is a stunning piece. 9.25 lbs. 60s slim taper neck. And, Look at that top!!!!!
Sets up really well.
Not a big fan of the Schaller pickups, they will probably go bye bye.
Frets are starting to get a little low. They’ve probably been dressed a couple times over the past 34 years.
It’s in awesome condition for 34 years old!! No cracks or breaks. No signs of abuse.
Just a killer piece of Heritage history.

I heard from a reputable source that the P 90 pick ups are being wound in Kalamazoo, but I cannot a 100% confirm that

I contacted my guy at Sweetwater already to put one on hold. Lol.

IT’s plausible they might, but I suspect the production of the custom cores are probably taking up all the capacity of the custom shop. Might explain why the bespoke program isn’t really available.
I’m doing my part….lol

I have a feeling that that will probably be coming next year, no, I do not have an inside track, it’s just a guess

You guys that don't have a Heritage yet.....not to worry....hang out here for a few months and the GAS will build!!!!

ProtonBlues here lurking.
No, my name is not really Proton ... This is a great website and thanks to all for making it so. By just hangin' out, y'all have taught me quite a lot in a short time. Can't post a pic because I'm looking to purchase my first Heritage instrument. Currently nurturing GAS for an H-140. Most of my guitars are 25.5 inch scale Strats and Teles, with a mix of Fender and G&L. The exceptions are a LP Studio semi hollow double cutaway, and a Hamer Vanguard. Would love an H-150 if my back were 30 years younger.
Pickin' for 41 years and counting ...
WELCOME TO THE HOC!

Hi everybody,
I guess I'm BigFudge. I've been lurking for a while, ever since I started my quest for my own semi-hollow early this year. I decided to finally post now because the custom 535 I ordered through Wolfe Guitars this summer is finally complete and on its way to me! I'm so excited, I just couldn't keep it to myself. The information in this forum helped out a lot when I was researching, so I figured I'd try to contribute a little something. At the very least, post some pictures for you guys to check out. Jay sent me some photos of her yesterday and I haven't stopped drooling. I can't wait to give her a spin!

Hello,
My name is Tim (TJIann) and I'm from Annapolis, MD. This weekend I picked up my first Heritage guitar in a local deal...a 1993 H535. I was looking to get an ES335 when I came across this beautiful almond burst Heritage for over a thousand bucks less than a comparable 335. I knew the story and positive feedback about Heritage guitars. Once I opened the case and picked this one up it was love at first strum man. Pictures below. The guy I bought it from told me it was a late 80s model with Duncan pickups. He was not really too knowledgeable, but year and PUPs didn't matter much to me when I saw this guitar. I dated it as a 1993 as it has the "J" serial number. I took her home and did a setup/string change, and pulled the PUPs to find that they are the original Schallers. I have been playing it through the setup you see in the pics below, but more through my 1964 Fender Princeton Reverb--a killer combination.
One thing I find curious about this guitar is that the body thickness is so thin. I've read in many of your posts that H535s have a thickness at the rim of 1 5/8". This one is only 1 1/2" thick at the rim. Is that just normal variation from the Heritage shop, or were the earlier versions thinner? Anyway, I can't say enough great things about this guitar (including the sound of the Schaller PUPs--not sure I need to replace those).
Just joined the forum and looking forward to my next Heritage purchase....likely an H150
NICE 535!
THAT WAS ONE OF THE TINKS THAT HERITAGE DID WHEN THEY STARTED, THEY CHANGED THE DESIGN OF THE 335 WHEN MAKING THE 535S. REN TOLD ME ABOUT IT ONE TIME.....THE THINNER RIM HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE RICHNESS OF THE TONE.....SO THAT WAS ON PURPOSE, NOT BY ACCIDENT
