Anyone out the ever reverse the finger bridge pieces so that rhe low e string is short and the high is in longer,everything in the opposite direction, I know it will increase the tension on the high end and lower the tension towd th low e. But waht dynamic results has anyone found.

He has that economy of motion thing down to an art form.

That guy is a really good guitarist!

That was quite enjoyable to watch, thank you some outstanding guitars there too

The Mean in a neck sounds KILLER DILLER! As a matter of fact, it was the first neck position P90 (in a modern guitar) that I really ever got along with. And I love the Meaner too. All the electric stuff in this song is my SG Special with a Wolfetone Mean and Meaner set...

I too have never been terribly impressed with the stock Lollar P90s’. I do like his 50s’ wind. I give a big nod to the Wolfetone “Mean” P90.

Absolutely. Everyone's ears are different. But mine say nothing touches Lollars.

I love Marshall style amps, and frankly, these amps were at the top of the pile when comes to modern interpretations of the really great Marshalls. He really cracked the code of how to get a great overdriven Marshall sound at a reasonable volume, and that's no easy task. What a loss to the guitar community losing another great company. But he had to do what is good for him, and taking care of his health is the right priority. It broke my heart ready his letter. But I wish him the best. If I didn;t already have a great Marshall style amp, his would be the first I would look at, and I think, as others have said, his amps on the used market will really go up in price.

It's all subjective and what your ears personally want to hear but I've had better luck with other P90s. Lollars wouldn't even be in my top 5, but to be fair I think we all play through different amplifiers and that makes a hugh difference. In the video they sound great, much different than what they sounded like in my Special that was just like the one in the video. I have never played Sanford Magnetics P90s, but these sound pretty great at the end of this video... Of the ones that I've owned and liked/loved, I've had GREAT luck with Wolfetone P90s, they are probably my favorite. Throbak makes killer P90s. Another shout out to SHED pickups, his P90s slay! Tyson Tone winds some great P90s! And for raunch, stock Gibson P90s are right up there!

I saw a big furry creature in Alaska running through the woods, carrying a gtr that looked like that.

Exactly, haha But in our modern era of social media & human behaviour "evolution" you need to grab people's attention.

Rock on LedZef, rock on.

I thought Heritage has been giving Gibson a run for its money ever since the first few I saw in the mid 1980's!!! I have a great Gibson Les Paul, 60th anniversary 1960 Ver 2 custom reissue. It is just killer. But my H535 is the best ES style I've ever owned and among the best I've ever played. Side by side with the Collings I35, I'd take the 535 for half the price (or less actually). That Collins weren't no slouch either.

A current manufactured stable, good tube supply is difficult these days too

He gives props to the pickup winding dept at Heritage, which is good. Throbak certainly know how to design & build pickups It was impressive to see during the Heritage factory tour too. I am glad they are making their own pickups now. Interesting comment about the plain enamel wire they use: maybe Heritage could publicize the specs on the 225 pickups more, so people are aware? Details like that are a big deal to some.

RIP, Sad news indeed

As someone who has personally visited that shop and bore witness to the magic being tucked away inside, this really saddens me. The amps were top notch, the artistic detail was amazing to watch. I’m very thankful I saw a shop that reminds how the old Heritage factory used to be. Craftsman who loved music. I love how these amps sounded live and thankful I was able to borrow one for so long. Get them while you can as now they are no more. Values will probably go up over the years…

Great video

I had to laugh when I saw this youtube video title: I'm sure most here are aware Heritage makes killer guitars, and have done for years 😝 They compare a 2025 custom core model to a recent R8 plaintop. It makes sense he bought both, as he needs specimens to R&D pickups I haven't watched this whole thing yet, it's over an hour long. The gtr part starts around 15min in: hopefully the video link works

that's a drag to hear & read about, but he's 100% right. Lots of wisdom in that post. Metropoulos amps are a hell of a legacy: those amps will be running & played for years by people who appreciate them. I wish George all the best in the future stress-free life he creates for himself!

Character. Honesty. Self-awareness. Forthrightness. Not a lot of these qualities abounding just now. Read every word of his well-written letter. Can wish George only the best, particularly in getting on top of his health!

LOLLAR p90s are the best. Hands down
