Thats an insane top !!!

Thanks for the helpful input !! I own the new era oxblood H150 not the CC thou and i am wondering does the H150 new era 2023 has a slight to big changes from the older era ? From body thickness, bindings, neck & head angle ?

Howdy all Heritage geeks.... would like to ask in context of tradition and spirit of these Heritage H150 specifically which era or years were built among the best of Heritage guitars before it changed hands to the new owners.... Not to get me wrong... i have a H150 new era and am currently working on to getta H150CC and i am also wanting an older build H150 before Heritage changed hands... but i just dont know which years was it built among the best.... in terms of their hands on craftmanship, wood selection .... Seen few on reverb and its very tempting...early 2000s era or late 90s era be good?

Thank anyway !! But anybody could help chime in ? Appreciate !!

Have ya tried the true Jeff beck telegib pickups on H150s? It appears to be made available thru duncan concept model.... how different are these telegib JBs vs antiquity jazz/JB?

Thanks for pointing out @davesultra !! after checking out this video.... Mmmmm... sound fantastic!!

Ohhh.... thanks mate !! I like the JB but on the other hand i have found the JB that i have (newer version) on my Jackson is clinical and less open compares to the burstbuckers on my gibson R8 ..... i wonder if its the potting effect on the JB that causes such character then i will go with unpotted JB.... have heard of the throbak 101plus with A5 magnets and i suppose its very open organic but with the mid we like.....?

I supposed a low mids kinda pup with the mids thats aggressive will make the H150 standout thats just me... i think the H150 sound way clearer and lots highs... its good in a way it also sound organic but i felt its missing out some mids on the 59 pup.... But did you mean the JB will sound much better when lowering the pup lower away from strings?

Thanks for ya offer but am now pretty set on the right pickups being an antiquity jazz/JB ... i just wanna mod this to be a close jeff beck 54.... 😅

Found the answer dudes thx.... will slap in the duncan Jazz/JB

Thanks but am still not sure what to put in.... but does anybody here knows what kinda pickup did jeff beck used after he purchased that goldtop 54 makeover which later becomes the famous oxblood color? Was it merely an old PAF by gibson originally it had when it was made in goldtop or it swapped out for the duncan JB model ?

Thanks @Millennium Maestro... i probably think the duncan antiquities are cool too.... if they are not overly bright and with more mids tighter lows it be amazing !!

Howdy.... i was thinking if a set of the Gibson burstbuckers in alnico V be a good fit on the H150? I need more girthy thick low mids than scoop up of the 59s.... has anybody installed set of burstbuckers A2, A4 or A5 and yield good results? Being not too much on the highs ? But with a weightier girthy mids still tight on the bottom lows ? Am a mid output player but not too low.... i actually think a duncan JB would foot the bill on my H150 yet because mine is an Oxblood H150 and i just wanna mod it being a tribute jeff beck guitar..... so to speak a gibson burstbucker with an alnico V be a better fit as its more vintage vibe in it?

Congrats on this mate !!! Its a really special guitar... and i cant believe its sale for such affordability... especially the ebony fretboard is something out of the blue !! It certainly has that tighter middy tone added ?

Seen this at reverb and its a very attractive price.... i would like to ask if the older Heritage H150 has a smaller neck angle than the new bought over H150 ?
