My last 2 Heritages

Nice!!!

I would love to buy that

Thanks Scott!! That is REALLY LIGHT!! Hopefully it’s in the cards for me to keep it

Made a couple small changes…

I finally was able to spend some time with the Heritage tonight. I took off the factory 10s, put on a fresh set of 9s and did a full setup along with fretboard conditioning. This H157 displays all the signs of Heritage’s top tier quality and construction. Fit and finish are great!! Fret work (PLEKED from the factory) is great too!! Electronics are also great quality. Low friction pots. Switchcraft toggle and jack. Heritage pickups. I don’t know the specs on these new Heritage pickups. They call them 225 Classic Hot Pickups. To me, they sound like an Alnico 4 or 5. They sound really good!! The neck is a beefy 50s carve. Feels great. Not a baseball bat. Only 8lbs 6ozs! So light for a 157! Tone and playability are both superb. Warm, rich tone. It’s an amazing guitar!!

It’s here!! OMG ITS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL But I have to go to a 50th birthday party Maybe I’ll get it switched over to 9s and setup tomorrow night? STAY TUNED…..

Mahogany

I was DEFINITELY NOT in the market for a new guitar!!! I had just sold an extraordinary H157 to a good friend of mine a couple months ago, so I knew how awesome these new Custom Core H157s are. Then I go poking around on the Sweetwater’s website, looking at what new Heritage Guitars they’ve got in….and I see it A beautiful SILVERBURST H157!! And is was a demo! Normally a $4400 guitar, marked down to $3200!!! Only 8.5 lbs!!! ”I really can’t afford this”. “I really don’t need it” Throw common sense into the wind….i had to get it. More pics and a full review to follow!!

Yes!!! The boss told someone at the Gibson factory (I don’t think it was Pete) to dispose of a huge pile of old PAF pickups lying in a corner

Nice!!!

I like the sculpted heel joint

It’s just paint chips. I was really surprised too. Nice full neck carve.

No it’s passive

The H120… This was Heritage’s entry level single cut. Rumored to have been built from leftover Gibson Marauder and S1 body blanks. No case. No bag. Talk about being played hard and put away wet…. This guitar fits the bill!!!! Chunky 3 piece maple neck. Bolt on neck. Mahogany body. Single Bill Lawrence pickup (leftover from Gibson). Single volume control. This baby has been well loved. The body is beat to ****. But it plays and sounds soooooo goooood. I’m not sure on production numbers for the H120, but if I were to guess, I’d say probably around 100 made? Probably less. Very light also. Only 6 lbs. 9 ozs. Yet another piece of Heritage history found in its back yard. I love finding these old treasures and bringing them back to life!!!

Wow!!
