I have a Plain Top R8 that I love, but in this case I’d go with the Heritage. The fingerboard on the R8 is terrible, as are the inlays. Tough to beat the Lollar Imperials on the H-150 too. -
Gibson PAF Pickups History: Five Watt World
RJLII replied to HANGAR18's topic in Amplification and Effects
On a related subject, I recall Pete Moreno (RIP) telling me that when he was fairly new at Gibson they had him haul a pickup load of stuff out to the landfill in Kalamazoo. Included were multiple bulk packed boxes of PAF pickups that were somehow deemed unacceptable for production. @brentrocks may have heard him tell the same story. I shudder to think what these would be worth today. -
My old H-137 had Lollar P90s. Too “polite” for me. Wonderful HiFi sound, but they didn’t punch very hard. I prefer the Gibson variety. edit: Lollar has multiple winds available for their P90s. Truth be told, I don’t know what they were.

Give these Lollars a try sometime. Otherworldly.

I used 0.011s on my ‘94 H-550. They were pretty slinky but still drove the guitar well. Lots of punch.

New Heritage Tap Tuned Archtop Model? H-717
RJLII replied to tbonesullivan's topic in Heritage Guitars
They need to resurrect the H-516. Gimme that with a fat neck and some P90s. Jazz, blues, rock, country. It would be a do it all guitar. I’m convinced it would sell for less than $13k. -
Now retired and sneaking up on codger status, I find myself yearning for an arch top of some flavor. I used to have an H-550, but the neck was mighty thin. Did Heritage ever do an arch top of any size with a girthy neck? I’m used to 50’s style carves.

Wow. Super cool amp. Alas, it would spotlight my inadequacies.
