    There's one way to find out if a man is honest — ask him. If he says, "Yes," you know he is a crook.

  1. Woof aGuitarSolo! That's an old looking hand for such a young kid in the photo above. That's a mistake you'll only make once. Now, with that behind you, it's time to rock that new guitar. PS - Aloe is your friend.
  2. I just checked RS Guitar. They don't list Heritage any longer. They used to list them. Too much variation in hand built guitars??? I have no experience with Mojotone harnesses. I would guess that if you call or email Sweetwater, they'll get you an answer. The jack plate looks like the proper one. Perhaps @TalismanRich will know and pipe in.
  3. Perfect! I see so much about wire gauge and transferring electrical energy. When one thinks about it, you could use quad 0 wire gauge for your instrument and speaker leads but ultimately the connection between your jack and instrument cable is just a fraction of a square mm, smaller than pin point. I've heard about these jacks but haven't seen them for sale. Thank you golferwave! https://www.amazon.com/Pure-Tone-Full-contact-Mounting-Hardware/dp/B0BXB73DT8?th=1
  4. I've a guitar buddy with a Two-Rock; beautiful amp, it even has a gain stage worthy of its pedigree. I'm familiar with Ceriatone, the others have escaped my review. I've owned a VHT Pitbull and still have the Classic (both Fryette designed). My experience with VHT is a positive one but dates before the company was sold. There are many Dumble designs on the interwebs. Some, I've been told are quite good. The secret is not that secret. IF the company (VHT) has maintained the previous owner's integrity, I'd assume they have something there. Your mission, should you decide to accept, is to let us know how well behaved the little beast is.
  5. Granted, most of the amps burning here are 60's Marshall clones. Even with the Marshall JTM 45, JTM 45-100, Heritage Colonial or Fender Vibro King, I lower the volume and drop the tone to clean up the sound. Perhaps old habits die hard... I prefer less treble most of the time. I think you wrote about linear and logarithmic pots above. Dave, from Ann Arbor Guitars, does a superb job discussing the difference. There are 6 videos in all. IMHO Well worth the time. Here's #1:
  6. This is the first I've heard of a (relatively) large amp manufacturer coping a Dumble amp. I believe Two-Rock does it, but aren't they smaller than VHT? On the surgace it sounds cool. Who is designing for VHT these days since Fryette sold it?
  7. I started with RSGuitarWorks. I stopped using them when they forgot how to make an H-575 harness; they wanted to charge for a custom assembly even though I know they've produced them in the past. The H-150 harness is the same as the Les Paul's. They'll get you going with schematics. Drop your volume to the 5-8 level and lower the tone as needed. The change is eye opening. I don't hear a lowering of volume as much as a cleaning up with the volume pot. The pot values make a huge difference in the circuit between the pickups and amplifier. A good harness should allow you two or three useful tones without adjusting the amp. RS recognized that and created a better mousetrap.
  8. Not as rare as desirable. To be natural there needs to be a superior piece of wood with interesting grain throughout. Bursts were instigated to cover drab wood at the edges. Wild curl in wood often washes out when getting to the edge. Congrats on your find.
  9. I've never met a guitar (any brand) that didn't improve from an upgraded harness. Heritage is no different.
  10. A lot of components used on new guitars are simply placeholders; the plastic nut, POS bridges and Especially the wiring harness. The $100 spent on the upgrade was the best investment ever - except they're addictive; be very careful.
  11. 'Tis an H-575 custom indeed. They were upgraded H-575s. I'd imagine you're mid to upper $3k mark. By revealing yourself as a nube, you've invited every bottom feeder on the internet. PM if you would like assistance with this.
  12. Or render them insensate... I like the way you're thinking!

    I wondered the same.
  14. If only you and I could do a mosquito riddled rendition of Cinnamon Girl on it.
  15. Spank you, I depreciate that. Coming from you, that really is significant. We should plug that new, Pelham blue H-150 into it and have at thee! Then we can fire up that dirty, old H-157 you have laying about.
