Other than my 80s 357, my oldest is a "J" serial H150 I think. Don't have a lot of gtr pics but here's an old one.

Just picked this up from Nick Hall. Looking forward to hearing those P Ralis! And the 'Heritage' of this guitar is impressive too. I'm surprised no one snapped it up before I did. I'm glad I have another Heritage H150 in the fold. It's been years! 😎

My guess: Original Sunburst or Burnt Amber

I think the Antiquity is more vintage output with a lower wind and A2 magnets. I wouldn't think it was close to the JB.

I think it's more Antique SunBurst. That's primarily a brown to yellow sunburst. Like Mars Hall said, ALmond SunBurst has red to it. My H157 was ALSB. OldStyle Sunburst goes black to brown to yellow. Vintage sunburst is a more pale sunburst. Of course, since they were all hand painted, there is quite a bit of variance, but these were the "targets".

@michaeljames...Check the inside of the rear access panel for a label. It might show the model and color.

ALSB

This guitar is a little lighter than most because the control cavity expands for the mini-toggles. That's my recollection. The Schaller bridge and tailpiece were swapped out by Pete Moreno. The person Ren Wall built this for has too much back pain to play. This was his last guitar and the one he played the most since he got it.

Not sure on the neck angle older v newer 150s. Maybe another HOCr can comment?

My H140 "C" date.

My STAT

Happy 'Flametop Friday'!

Since it’s Friday again,

And here is my all time favorite guitar.... my H170 with a C serial number. It's not my go to guitar, but my favorite. I got this one and the afore H140cm at the same time back when nobody really cared about Heritage guitars except maybe you folks. There were in a mom and pop store. I traded a Greco Les Paul copy (which was actually pretty cool....) and $400 for both of them. Both sound great but there is something about the H170....feel and sound. I did take out the Schallers and put in some Dimarzio PAFs, probably anniversay series or something. Maye the 140 has Seth Lover's....I can't remember nor do I care as they both sound so great.

Here is my H140 with an F seriel number.

my 1999 H150CM with Bare Knuckle Rebel Yell pickups!

These were all my K'zoo guitars at the time the picture was taken (I've added a few more over the years). The h550 was my first Heritage, and I think the oldest.
