PunkKitty Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I was searching for a H-150 in the 8.5-9 pound or less range. A friend from another forum tipped me off to a couple on sale at a local GC. Since I had to return something anyway, I took a look. They had this one and an OSB model. This one was just under 9 pounds. The OSB was just over 9 pounds. NOS 2019 floor models marked down significantly with 0% 24 month financing. Not a bad deal. I got them to throw in a setup which they reluctantly did. I was looking for a Dirty Lemon Burst since I already had a Cherry Burst, but the deal was right so I took it.

PunkKitty Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 I just weighed it. He told me it was just under 9 pounds. It's 8.6 pounds, so it's right where I want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElChoad Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I am waiting until tomorrow when I can open the case on my DLB CC-150. This is killing me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PunkKitty Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 A CC would have been great, but this was over $1000 less. This will suit my purposes quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DetroitBlues Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I played an aged H150 standard model and it felt perfect to me, I'd have no issue with owning one of these over a CC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanschoyck Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Looks like a great guitar to me. Are the pickups 59's? Are you going to keep those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they are 59's. I'm probably not going to keep them. I have a set of '89 Pearly Gates wound my MJ and a set of Mojotone PAF Clones. I'll probably put in one of those. Let me know if you are interested in buying the 59's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have nowhere to go with new pickups, but thank you! I just had a vague memory that you didn't like 59's. (You might have mentioned it once or twice!)

I put Mojotone '59 Clones in my H-150 and they sound glorious! A word of advice- they were not a direct fit! The pole piece screws on the pickups were longer than on a Gibson (or Seymour Duncan) and the H-150's neck pickup route has a ledge in it that the pole piece screws hit right before the pickup was set to the height that I wanted. I shortened the screws on the neck pickup. Also, the pickups' covers flared out near the side bottom edges and needed to be clamped and re-soldered in order to fit in the H-150's pickup cavities. This affected both pickups. A quick pickup swap became an all evening project. The pickups fit perfectly in the Gibson Les Paul that I previously had them in.
