brentrocks Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 GC in Kalamazoo has a really nice selection of Heritage guitars right now, including a Core 150. But there was a 2020 Dirty lemon burst Standard that was calling to me! GC had a great offer on Heritage stuff right now so I took it home! I had to do a complete setup on it. The action was sky high and there was way too much relief in the neck. But it setup PERFECTLY! Low action and the neck straightened out very well. Being PLEKED makes a huge difference!!!! HUGE!!!! Heritage had definitely stepped up to the plate with their quality. This 150 is stellar!!! As good as any Gibbons CS I have ever played!! I do think they need to get away from SD 59s though, I’m not really impressed with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gitfiddler Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Nice score, Brent! That top looks like an R9. Flame extends all the way to the edges! Perfection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockabilly69 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Nice top on that one, and nice color on the back too Brent! What's it weigh? Before you pull those Duncans, sink them down a bit and raise the poles as much as you sunk the pickup in, especially on the neck pickup. How is the balance in the middle position?

I already swapped them for 57 classics. I will keep your suggestion in the memory bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
