Picked up a really rare Heritage this weekend
Gitfiddler replied to brentrocks's topic in Heritage Guitars
Wow, H-150 Deluxe #45...Awesome score, Brent!!! -
Jon told me that his ER Customs are the hottest pickups they sell. Amazing p'ups.
-
I dig both of the new updated versions. Great to see Heritage taking these great guitars up-market. I hope they sell like hotcakes and the company continues to increase market share. Like other long-time Heritage fans, I'm glad I scored these and other models back when they were less expensive...even after adding custom upgrades. ?

@Jermnjones66...Welcome to the HOC! If you truly want to preserve your beautiful H150's electronics, pickups, etc., why not replace them with your preferred parts, but keep the originals stored. You'll likely get more long term enjoyment from a guitar that is structurally and electronically sound, and one that has your favorite pickups. The market for early Heritage guitars is nothing like Gibson or other large, well known makers. So you might as well enjoy it in its best possible form. After your upgrades my only recommendation is to play that 150 like you stole it! ?

Beautiful H150. ASB is AlmondSunBurst according to old Heritage catalogues. Welcome to the HOC! -

Brent, I predict that this CC P90 will knock your socks off. Looking forward to your review. -

Awesome! -
That's great news for Heritage. They advertise that they are winding their own P90's. Is that 'in-house'?
-
@Rockaman...Congratulations on your beautiful and unique H150, and welcome to the HOC.

HOC website encryption certificate - what happened to it?

@Administrator...Thank you for all you do for the HOC...from behind the curtain! You are truly great and powerful. ? -
Part of the sweetness you are hearing is the wood of your H575. Good pickups should amplify, not color the sound of a well built guitar. Archtops made of carved/solid wood should have a nice sounding natural acoustic sound. That natural sound should be amplified through pickups (and obviously your amp of choice). I experienced that with my former Sweet 16. Unfortunately its acoustic sound left a bit to be desired, so I went on a pickup adventure, trying out 3 different p'ups (Schaller, Gibson 57 classic and finally a custom wound Kent Armstrong 12 pole. Each pickup improved the sound...a little! The best was the KA 12 pole paf. In the end I sold the guitar and later picked up two H575's. Both of them sound amazing, no matter what pickup I put in them (Schaller, HRW, Seth Lover, etc.) I attribute the guitar's construction as the primary reason for the basic tonal sweetness. Each pickup contributed to the lows, highs and midrange...a little. My 575's sound great with or without an amp! I guess that's why I own two of the same archtop. Heritage archtops are hand made, so each has its own personality, feel and sound. Bottom line, you got a good one!! ?

@HANGAR18Nice job constructing your heavy duty multi-level amp 'rig rack'. Too bad IKEA doesn't have something similar. Even if they did, I wouldn't be able to put it together. LOL!

+1 Seths woke up my 535.
-
I like your 535 specs and also hope Heritage offers more options/upgrades. Back in the pre-Plaza days, Heritage built a bunch of non-spec guitars and custom one-offs subject to customer requests. My 2008 was ordered with a custom color, chunky neck, ebony fretboard and Phat Cat p'ups. I swapped in Seths. I love this golden girl.

I checked with Grant Green about keeping the pickguard. Here's his reaction...

Build what sells...
-
I'd like to see a CC H-555, although it would be tough to top the pre-Plaza versions.
