    Hi my name is Ryan I live in Kalamazoo MI I have been playing off and on since I was 16. I stopped playing for 10 years and I am just now getting back into it at the age of 33. I had relatives that worked for Gibson back when it was in Kalamazoo. I do not own a Heritage YET I am currently working on that but i do have a set of HRW's I just purchased that will go into my custom H-157. I guess I am doing this a bit backwards.

     

    Welcome to the HOC Ryan. Sounds like you have a plan !

    Hello,

     

    My name is Tim (TJIann) and I'm from Annapolis, MD. This weekend I picked up my first Heritage guitar in a local deal...a 1993 H535. I was looking to get an ES335 when I came across this beautiful almond burst Heritage for over a thousand bucks less than a comparable 335. I knew the story and positive feedback about Heritage guitars. Once I opened the case and picked this one up it was love at first strum man. Pictures below. The guy I bought it from told me it was a late 80s model with Duncan pickups. He was not really too knowledgeable, but year and PUPs didn't matter much to me when I saw this guitar. I dated it as a 1993 as it has the "J" serial number. I took her home and did a setup/string change, and pulled the PUPs to find that they are the original Schallers. I have been playing it through the setup you see in the pics below, but more through my 1964 Fender Princeton Reverb--a killer combination.

     

    One thing I find curious about this guitar is that the body thickness is so thin. I've read in many of your posts that H535s have a thickness at the rim of 1 5/8". This one is only 1 1/2" thick at the rim. Is that just normal variation from the Heritage shop, or were the earlier versions thinner? Anyway, I can't say enough great things about this guitar (including the sound of the Schaller PUPs--not sure I need to replace those).

     

    Just joined the forum and looking forward to my next Heritage purchase....likely an H150 :)

    Nice one !

     

    A "J " serial number is indeed a '93 guitar, have a '96 535 myself and it's fantastic.

    Thanks. VSB...got itLeaned something alreadyCan't wait to learn more about it and of course rock out with it

     

     

    When you receive it you can verify the finish by removing the control cavity cover, the finish is sometimes written on the label

    Hi everyone! Just joined!

     

    Looks like I'll be the new owner of a H150 later today so thought it would be a good idea to join and learn more about the H150 I'll admit I don't know much about Heritage guitars but I read the history and sounds promising!

     

    I was on the lookout for a LP Standard and stumbled on a Kijiji ad with a guy looking to trade his 150 for a specific Martin 000 to replace the one he regrets selling...which I happen to have...so I offered the trade and here I am.

     

    Apparently it's a 9.99999/10 mint 2010 H150 amber burst. He thinks pups are Slash. I'm hoping its a 10 pounder I have very limited info on this trade or the guitar, just a blurry cell phone pic and his word it's mint with case and unsigned warranty card and his promises I WON'T be disappointed.

     

    Taking a leap of faith and hoping this is a good axe!

     

    I play hard rock and metal \m/

     

    Cheers from T.Dot!

    We should start a sub-forum. :icon_smile:

     

    Check out the new guy being bossy. :)

     

    We actually did have a lefty gang at one point, it was a dedicated thread. It's been a few years though, ( yikes). There are maybe only a couple of lefty players posting regularly on the forum. There's also a lot in the closet :icon_pirat: , you know who you are.

    Greetings all.

     

    I just discovered this website after trying to find the neck dimensions online. Although I have owned my 150CM for over a decade, I actually have no idea what the actually measurements are.

     

    My only Heritage is a lefty (duh) almondburst H150CM. Great looking guitar, I will post pictures soon.

     

    Hi and welcome. Nice to see another lefty on board. We're gradually taking over .... :icon_pirat:

    I thought everyone knew ? :icon_sunny:

     

    btw there's no problem talking about other guitar brands in the family tree area, I'm sure we'd all like to see your other guitars.

     

    And welcome again to the HOC :icon_thumleft:
