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.

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.

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

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:

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.

I've never met a guitar (any brand) that didn't improve from an upgraded harness. Heritage is no different.

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.

'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.

I wondered the same.

Are you suggesting this film was recorded in the court of the crimson king?

I've always wanted to play an H-150 with P-90s. They say it ain't what you know... Congrats.

What movie???

Good Morning Vietnam?

A movie titled: The Dog Walking Radio Hour?
