  1. Gergo Concerning being OCD, me thinks you don't have all your badges yet. I have three Heritage gits with P90 and this is my take. Unlike with humbuckers p90 do not have rings to adjust pickup height, you have adjustable screws for each string that appear REAL close to the strings and therefore limit how much you can lower the action. This appears due to the top carve and set neck angle. My concerns (additional) would be the lack of clearance as the strings just clear the back of the bridge and thus you could not deck the tailpiece. The bridge has anchors that limit lower adjustment that can be removed and replace with screws. The saddles on the treble side can be filled down. The bottom of the bridge can be filed too. On my P90 gits having similar issues I replaced the stock hardware (I am MORE OCG) with Fabar AB-1 bridges that are more narrow and thus provide more clearance at the rear and have direct replacement screws without the anchors. As you love everything else, you may want to work on some fixes rather than exchange and hope the replacement is perfect. As these are mostly handmade, neck angle and top carve will differ. Good luck!

  2. The string action is fine. I was just concerned that if I every need to lower them more, I would not be able to do much. Obviously there are fixes for that though

  3. I wouldn't think it unusual for the tailpiece to have more space than the bridge. The top carve drops down there. I remember them saying that the CC guitars have a different carve than the standard line (if memory serves me). I don't know if it's a deeper carve or not. Maybe one of you folks with both types can compare and comment. My only guitar that has the bridge decked is my Vint 54 Strat. I don't use the whammy, it's never been screwed it in.

  4. Contact Heritage, however ... if it already plays to your satisfaction with low action , how much lower do you need it ?

  5. You have a legitimate concern. I would call the factory and share your pictures with them.

  6. Hmm, fair question. I don't have a model with that bridge and I've not enough experience to really 'know', but think/opin that it's a valid concern of yours. Seems limiting to not have the ability to further lower the bridge (easily, via thumb screws as designed) in the future should the neck angle alter a bit. P90 150 - very cool guitar, nice choice!

  8. I'm a collector and have an H575C , I'd agree with $4k as it is one of the early ones still built by the Masters. The are exquisite instruments As it appeals to Jazz players , I'd also suggest that forum https://www.jazzguitar.be/forum/
