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?

Remind me Hanger18, I owe you a Bells!

Those two don't appear to be the "answer-guy" type.

Got it. The first photo was taken from the front. The second, from the back.

Once in perhaps 100 tries. Based on the inability to do so many other options, I'll take it.

Pretty guitar! Nice snatch.

Me Too! All over sudden, I can traverse to page two. Nice job!

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.

Whoa skydog52, did you have surgery?

Egadz. Succinctly poignant!

Had trouble following the blog. Now that I see it rhymes with frog, I'm good.
