Wow.... you totally got into heritage !! I would like the cadillac green but i already own the H150 oxblood and a H150CC in tobacco sunburst.... Both plays extremely well but down side was my H150 oxblood standard factory fret dress and fret nib was a pain in the arse... other than that my other H150CC has that neck thats familiar to the Historic R9 but with a slightly thinner body thickness and better cutaway access makes it plays well enough... complain was the bridge pole piece was slightly tilted inwards but the pinnacle bridge thumbwheel sort of solves the issue with that buldge hum making more contact but in my opinion its still unsightful on that tilted pole bridge piece.... Like both the tone on the heritage H150s i have very resonant and loud acoustically .... The H150 oxblood i have has the zingy topend snappy tight that sound like what my R8 is whom i thought its too bright with the Faber... The H150CC i got has a modded Gibson abr1 non wire bridge and it sound a tad louder without the bright topend and has more of that mids going on but loses it snappy tone which i felt... Both are nice instrument and tone machine but lately after seeing your post it makes me wanna getta cadillac green... lol

Cool looking !!

Nice info on the Heritage 150CC bridge upgrades !! Would wanna ask too if the old 2023 2022 custom core tuners also be gettimg replaced back to Grover tuners ? Or gotoh 510 ?

I like the look of ya H150CC better !!

Yes i gotten them all in a set... i even accidentally broken off the conversion stud post which Larry send it down free of charge instantly... Larry customer service is top notch !! But its probably just me that i probably prefer the Gibson abr1 better those on my RI .. dont get me wrong on these Faber bridge , the Faber bridge set i got the quality in them is top notch i could immediately feel when handling them, i have not really A/Bed them side by side on the same guitar but i just hear a rather zingy upper tones on the Faber bridge set on my H150 and i prefer the Gibson ABR1 over the stock API bridge it had stock on my H150CC... Maybe i will A/B them again when i gotta time... who knows?

I have gotten the Faber bridge and installed it on my oxblood H150 but i found it rather have that zingy tone...

Pic of the side... sitting well on the API thumbwheel... seriously any comments? Is the bridge too high? just a 5.5mm hole enlarge and a chamfering flute

Thought it be nice to share some pics... but Heritage purist sorry i took it a step further... in my opinion its nicer now and the H150CC hardware sucks... especially tuners... ouch Like the H150CC everybit but if Heritage could reconsider to up their game closer on the hardware and frets it be top notch !! Apologise yes i should have file down the string notch on the saddles... but have not tried it before could need some time and practise

Are these birds still available thou?

Many of the older pieces seems to get more value i guess? Not too sure but many have said the newer pieces are better build vs the older.... as far as we know there are a handful of peeps here whom still swear by the older pieces despite of the shorter neck tenon but its the handbuild spirit whom the guys sought after for.... I currently own two new era H150s and am looking to trade my oxblood H150 for a H157 in natural in pristine condition .... do hit me up too here haha...
