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.-

If you want to get rid of the barrel jack you can drill out the input jack hole with normal wood drill bits. When you have the hole to the proper size you will need to use a plastic or metal jack plate and drill pilot holes for the jack plate mounting screws. I use the Puretone input jacks. Check out youtube videos to help with this.
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!

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.

In general, I know this is true. However, I wouldn't expect this from Heritage on any level. Have you found examples of Heritage doing this kind of thing?
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've always wanted to play an H-150 with P-90s.
They say it ain't what you know...
Congrats. -

Is anyone else experiencing extremely slow response times? It's taking a minute or 2 to load some pages. Other sites are clicking normally, it's just the HOC. I'll click a topic, go off to another site, and come back after it quits spinning.
Once in perhaps 100 tries. Based on the inability to do so many other options, I'll take it.

Pretty guitar! Nice snatch.

Great. I normally only go to HTTPS sites, but this was the one exception. Occasionally a browser update would just tell me "WHOA! DANGER AHEAD". Now I'll only get that warning from the porn sites!
Me Too!
All over sudden, I can traverse to page two. Nice job!

I have updated the board software this morning. This should resolve a few issues that users seemed to be experiencing. I've also changed the base URL from http:// to https://, which should force SSL. Maybe. We'll see.
Holy cow! Whatever you did, Mr. Administrator, cleared up a litany of oddities here. THANK YOU for your efforts keeping us'ns up to date in this online world connecting with the faithful.
How apropos is it that you do it on a Sunday. Hope all is well in Admin-land.-

Ya dere, you betcha!
I meant to welcome you aboard to the collective but somehow inadvertently posted just the first line. I know editing is a limited time offer, so I wrote welcome and got the hell out. Also wanted to say hi from your lowly trolls under the bridge.
Good day; eh?

Greetings all. Dave from Michigan here. I'm a native to the beautiful maple hardwoods of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. I believe Gibson and Heritage may have used some maple from that region.
Like PrairieDude, I'm hopeful of becoming a Heritage owner. I posted a Gibson ES 347 for trade in the Non-Heritage section. I imagine I'll need to sell it to buy a Heritage, since a trade is unlikely.
IT'S DA YOOPER!
Welcome aboard; eh?

OK, my tag is Sierra Sam just cuz I spend time up in them thar hills from time to time. I have a 13 year old H-575 which I bought cuz I thought it was pretty.
I know, piss poor excuse, but it really looks good. Doesn't sound bad either.
Howdy Sam! You've got to love those 575s! Sweet guitars and terribly versatile. Very nearly too much fun in a small box. Enjoy! and Welcome.

What kind of music do you put through her? Has she spread her wings for you?

They aren't mine. This is my work environment. Sucks huh. Funny thing for a grown man to do.
It looks like a hostile work-place, full of sexual innuendos and loud noise. Probably tons of the opposite gender rotating through asking to see your "wares". Can I apply on-line?
I suppose I've almost totally de-railed this post. It's tough to quiet all those voices in my head...
Hi Roddy! Welcome to the HOC ward ;D
I truly hope they have single malt in the land down under! God bless the Scotts!

Hope you dont mind Roddy.
This pic doesnt do it any justice though.

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.
