Somebody was making an X-Terminator and overdid it with the band saw!

Those must have been older Standards. I see two Dirty Lemons at 8lb 11ox and 8lb 7oz, a Bourbon Burst at 8lb 14oz and 2 in Wine Red at 8lb 3oz and 8lb 11oz. So that's right about 1lb lighter than the standards which run in the 9s. The Custom shop and Custom Cores seem to run in the mid to upper 8s. These are the Lemon Bursts.

I just looked around on Sweetwater and it appears they have these in stock in several finishes. I didn't look at them all but the lightest one I saw was 9 lbs 7 oz and the heaviest was 9 lbs 15 oz.

X with P90s. Perfect!

Whoever gave me negative mojo…. can ..

wow, look at that!! congrats

Very, very nice, enjoy.

👍

Things come full circle. My 00 Heritage 150, now 25 years old, has a 60’s slim taper neck. Back then I believe most were.

Identical to mine Larry

Will do, Rich! Loving it already!

Alright! You can join DaveCTOK and myself on a big H-530 jam next year!!!!

Beautiful! Happy NGD. Nice snatch BWB!

I think these look really nice and I’m excited about the 60’s neck. I think I’m developing arthritis because my hand will start cramping after about 30 minutes on my H-150. Definitely wanting one in chestnut or dirty lemon.

Very cool Brent! 👍

Yes . . . I changed my thinking and got a 530 for more variety. It came today and I'm glad to have it!

just off the Fedex truck!

60's slim taper neck profile on the new 'Standard II Collection" models?? Maybe they're targeting youngsters looking for their first guitar. I begged for a guitar when I was 12, so I get it. As long as Heritage continues to offer thicker necks as an option across the product line, I see this as no big deal.

The necks were already too skinny.

Slim taper🤢

I'm guessing at least a pound. Did you get to hear Pete Farmer when he was pointing out the different select pieces of mahogany. They had the ones for Standards, then for Custom Cores, and then over on the other rack, were the "hold these for special things". Once Sweetwater gets in the Standard II guitars, you'll see exactly how much difference there is since they post the weights of the guitars.

I wonder what the average delta is between weight relieved and non-weight relieved.

I thought they were closing up shop and moving everything to Guangdong China. Next year's PSP was going to be held at the Country Inn in Guangzhou with a tour of the tin shack where all the guitars are made! Man, the rumors that get started on the internet! You just don't know who to believe anymore. As for the Standard II collection, I kinda like the idea. In-house pickups is a good thing. Keep those winders going. I would have to feel the neck... I don't need a Louisville Slugger but a little bit of beef seems to give a bit more stablility. Weight relief is a good thing. Witness the recent purchase of my H-530. Much more weight relief and I would be playing air guitar!

It is an employee build. I just talked to him

And how Spanky…
