Picked up a new 150 in Kalamazoo today

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.

Nice score, Brent!  That top looks like an R9.  Flame extends all the way to the edges!  Perfection.

 

Thanks Tim!!!

I absolutely agree with you.  I'll have more to say about that as I post about the Custom Core.

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?

Thanks man!

I already swapped them for 57 classics.   I will keep your suggestion in the memory bank.
