I share the same opinion... and it should have come with a famous 59s neck profile and a consistent 5A quilt

Looking forward to hearing this combination. Heritage Guitars Favorites · 1h · Tone that truly inspires. The Custom Shop 40th Anniversary Edition 225 Classic Humbuckers are the very heart of our 40th Anniversary H-150 and H-555 models. Meticulously wound right here in-house with Alnico 5 (neck) and Alnico 2 (bridge) magnets, they deliver incredible note separation and dynamic response you have to hear to believe.

Thanks, in fact, the certificate is signed by Wolfe. Do you know is there anyway to determine if it has HRW pups without looking at the back of the pup?

I liked Monsters too. Nice playing!

My recollection about the classics is that these were ordered by Jay Wolfe and had Gibson-like bridges and tailpieces. I also think they had SD pickups. The maple neck was common back then but inconsistently done. I've had a one piece, two piece, and three piece on H-555s made in that era. Custom select could mean anything, but the select probably refers to the woods. They probably charged extra money for each of those two words. Currently those words are custom core.

OK, need an interpretation. If a 2002 H-555 says "Classic" on the internal sticker but on the certificate (which matches the Serial #) it says "Custom Select". What the heck does that mean? It appears to have 3 piece maple neck. Other than that it appears to be a normal H-555. Any insights would be appreciated.

Excellent! Love this one.

As much as I'd like one, the new Custom Core Line up makes feels like how Heritage was to me 15 years ago; beyond my financial means. $5k for a guitar is so steep, I'm sure definitely worth it though. I'd have to sell all four of my Heritages to get one of those; even then I wouldn't be happy because the design has a slim 60's neck profile. While I have gotten used to thinner necks, I rather enjoy the meatiness of my current lineup. Its a shame there was not a custom inlay to show its a 40th Anniversary model.

Nice shooting Tex! Great photos, look much better than my bar band shots I get once in awhile. Beautiful H150 and congratulations on the new album!

Hey congratulations. Those are some good pics too

The Triple Nickel is da BOMB! There are days I wish I had ordered that instead of the 157 way back when. Oh well, that's the way it goes!

Oh my that's a stunner

Another good one is "perfect sound forever"

Very stylish. Nice Snatch!

And it has a flame maple pickguard like the originals! 😍

you'll love it!!!

wow congrats skydog I saw that email, it said they're only making 40 of them?

I just previewed that book on google. A really good read. Will track it down & buy it thx for the headsup

I was looking for a dedicated performance photo thread and didn't see one (apologies if I missed it!), but wanted to share a few photos since I've been playing the '94 H150 as my primary live guitar lately. Band has had a wave of local gigs lately and hoping to have debut album out August/Sept: https://makingfriendsasadults.bandcamp.com/track/bad-time

What is 40th anniversary about it?

Very nice!

I have a H-555 on order.

My H150 used a 3/8" wrench when I set it up last weekend.
