Nice picture !! The kids must have rocking hard on that 12LBS LP !!! In my personal point of view i am thinking heavier LP will sound better? Am still unsure and am sure many debate will arise on weight issue..... maybe am more of a old school guy... remember hearing Alex skolnick from Testament (previously a Heritage H150 artist) said weight is on the LP that rocks.... Fast forwarding today i was lucky to have pickup a 2001 era R7 BB at 4.5kg, R8 at 4.4kg and recently R9 at 4kg with my H150 oxblood whom i bought last year weights 4.3kg.... i probably think LP least at 4kg.... not too light else it wont feel like an LP

Was actually late on an LP... but isnt the gibson custombucker similiar to the 226 parson pickup? Both has alnico 3 magnets... except for 225 parsons is potted and that could have blanketed the unpotted pickup abit.... yet what are the tonal diff between these? The 225 parson vs Custombuckers....

Awww i seen yours !! Thats one of a kind top !!

There is a certain wood qualities that brings out the tone which each of us are looking at.... not just the G's Rs which i personally felt they are consistent in everyway which played unplugged its so loud and has that girthy mid quack... where the H150 new era i recieved sound more balanced out sweeter chimer than the Gs.... I did a comparison when i first recieves my H150 oxblood it turns out that the QC isnt at best and i wanna do an exchange but i ended up keeping the H150 after testing out a new piece whom Heritage had sent out.... The first piece i gotten weights about 9lbs where the new replacement felt lighter and am sure i did set the string height to roughly same ballpark and tune were same gauge too.... but what it impressed on me was the original whom i gotten just sounded more ballsy, tighter more aggressive then the new replacement piece which sounded "meh" Since then i always think heavier LP would more or less sounded better imo...? Into the Gs i own 1 black beauty R7 an R8 and R9.... both the Rs plays and sounded fantastic while i gotta chance to try a Standard LP and the tone it yield is telling....

Cool !! Show us ya H150CC? Yup i agree the tuner sucks.... it happened so with the new H150 too its not the regular grover instead its a 3rd party replica.... But which gotoh tuner model you went with? As for the potted PU... you might wanna take out the covers and do alittle heating over ya PU hopefully most of its wax would melt out ? I haven tried the 225 parsons H150CC pickups yet... but so far am pretty happy with my R9 R8 both had burstbuckers and its really open and aggressive sounding ! For potted A2 PU not sure how well it holds out...

With what you described on the latest H150 CC the Wilson spec, will you say the new H150CC being different from the older H150 as being more of that "historically accurate Les paul" while the new era H150 remains neutral as to what the old Heritage were doing on their H150s back in the day...?

Thats an insane top !!!

Thanks for the helpful input !! I own the new era oxblood H150 not the CC thou and i am wondering does the H150 new era 2023 has a slight to big changes from the older era ? From body thickness, bindings, neck & head angle ?

Howdy all Heritage geeks.... would like to ask in context of tradition and spirit of these Heritage H150 specifically which era or years were built among the best of Heritage guitars before it changed hands to the new owners.... Not to get me wrong... i have a H150 new era and am currently working on to getta H150CC and i am also wanting an older build H150 before Heritage changed hands... but i just dont know which years was it built among the best.... in terms of their hands on craftmanship, wood selection .... Seen few on reverb and its very tempting...early 2000s era or late 90s era be good?

Thank anyway !! But anybody could help chime in ? Appreciate !!

Have ya tried the true Jeff beck telegib pickups on H150s? It appears to be made available thru duncan concept model.... how different are these telegib JBs vs antiquity jazz/JB?

Thanks for pointing out @davesultra !! after checking out this video.... Mmmmm... sound fantastic!!

Ohhh.... thanks mate !! I like the JB but on the other hand i have found the JB that i have (newer version) on my Jackson is clinical and less open compares to the burstbuckers on my gibson R8 ..... i wonder if its the potting effect on the JB that causes such character then i will go with unpotted JB.... have heard of the throbak 101plus with A5 magnets and i suppose its very open organic but with the mid we like.....?

I supposed a low mids kinda pup with the mids thats aggressive will make the H150 standout thats just me... i think the H150 sound way clearer and lots highs... its good in a way it also sound organic but i felt its missing out some mids on the 59 pup.... But did you mean the JB will sound much better when lowering the pup lower away from strings?

Thanks for ya offer but am now pretty set on the right pickups being an antiquity jazz/JB ... i just wanna mod this to be a close jeff beck 54.... 😅

Found the answer dudes thx.... will slap in the duncan Jazz/JB

Thanks but am still not sure what to put in.... but does anybody here knows what kinda pickup did jeff beck used after he purchased that goldtop 54 makeover which later becomes the famous oxblood color? Was it merely an old PAF by gibson originally it had when it was made in goldtop or it swapped out for the duncan JB model ?

Thanks @Millennium Maestro... i probably think the duncan antiquities are cool too.... if they are not overly bright and with more mids tighter lows it be amazing !!

Howdy.... i was thinking if a set of the Gibson burstbuckers in alnico V be a good fit on the H150? I need more girthy thick low mids than scoop up of the 59s.... has anybody installed set of burstbuckers A2, A4 or A5 and yield good results? Being not too much on the highs ? But with a weightier girthy mids still tight on the bottom lows ? Am a mid output player but not too low.... i actually think a duncan JB would foot the bill on my H150 yet because mine is an Oxblood H150 and i just wanna mod it being a tribute jeff beck guitar..... so to speak a gibson burstbucker with an alnico V be a better fit as its more vintage vibe in it?

Congrats on this mate !!! Its a really special guitar... and i cant believe its sale for such affordability... especially the ebony fretboard is something out of the blue !! It certainly has that tighter middy tone added ?

Seen this at reverb and its a very attractive price.... i would like to ask if the older Heritage H150 has a smaller neck angle than the new bought over H150 ?

That quilted top in honey !!!

This is damn rad !!! This earlier H150 deluxe... how does it differs from the new H150CC ? Thinner finishes? Will get my H150CC soon and shall post mine up here when i got it ...

Seen his video on his new H150CC !! Stoked !

He is more western than any western country... normally will greet u in most stout way in their accent... Guten morgan !! Lol
