Yes he does. He’s done lots of work for me over the years

So…. After getting this baby setup for 9s, and getting it all dialed in, I have come to the conclusion that…. This H525 is friggin awesome!!! Holds tune like a champ!! The 2 Lollar p90s sound absolutely amazing!!! I’ve never had a Faber bridge on a guitar before. I really like it. It’s a locking bridge. The neck is a very comfortable medium C carve. Sets up with a medium/low action. Frets show minor wear. The guitar is nice and light. It has a slight bit of neck dive, but it’s hardly noticeable. Overall, a very nice playing Heritage guitar with great tone!!!!

Thanks Scott!! My go to guy is Dave Teski. One of the finish guys at Heritage

I’m thinking about having a Silverburst finish shot on just the top and then leaving the back and the rim satin black. To match my 157 custom core.

It’s at the neighbors house. Lol. I’m still at work.

I found this on Reefeeverb. The Heritage H525 is a full hollow thin line guitar with a Florentine cutaway. Maple Laminate top and back with a solid maple rim. Mahogany neck with a rosewood fretboard. 2 Lollar dog ear P90s. The H525 is loosely based off of the vintage Gibson ES125. These H525s RARELY come up for sale. But this one was dramatically different. The body was finished in a matte black. Originally is was a VSB (vintage sunburst) kind of a light tangerine burst. The H525s had a cult following among Heritage enthusiasts. But not many were ever made. When I first saw it, I wasn’t a fan of the refin. But after stalking the ad for a couple of days, I decided to pull the trigger. I figured, worst case scenario, I could always get the top refinished at some point if I don’t like it. But it’s actually pretty cool. The seller also upgraded the bridge to a Faber ABR1. I believe everything else is stock. He currently has it setup for 11s. I will be putting 9s on it, so there will be some extensive setup work to be done. I had one of these 525s many years ago and they are such a joy to play. Lightweight and full of warm creamy goodness!!! This is a pic from the seller. I will have pics and a full report after setup.

Nice 150

What are the Vegas odds on me finding this guitar?

If you have please let me know This was the very first heritage guitar I ever bought, back around 1997?? Id like to get it back

So I wasn’t really happy with the poorly modded Schaller bridge. It wouldn’t intonate very good. So I decided to put a set of locking Tonepros on it. And I took the covers off the pickups (which did help with the squealing, a little). The bridge Lollar still squeals when I step on the RAT…but with the OCD it is fine. The neck Seth is great now. The intonation is perfect now.

1987 HERITAGE H170… 1st generation H170 double cut. Honduran mahogany body and neck Bound and Carved flame maple top Bound Indian rosewood fretboard Bound and inlaid headstock This one has seen some action in its life. It suffered a headstock break/repair some years ago. It currently has a Lollar Imperial pickup in the bridge and a SD Seth Lover in the neck. Volume/Volume/Tone with a 3 way toggle. It’s a great playing and great sounding Heritage from their Golden Age!!!

I’m glad the RED ROCK PICKUPS worked out!!

I love fuzz.

Welcome!!!

Someday I might get it re sprayed

I highly doubt it 🥴

Oh yeah Rich!!! It’s a real joy!!!

Thanks Scott!!!

Thank you Tim!!!

This was so funny….well not at the time, but…. So it’s about 10:00 last night, I have the guitar all put back together, setup, playing great/sounding great…. And I flip the toggle to the neck pickup….and it sounds EXTREMELY BASSY!!! Like funky out of phase or something??? I turn the tone pot and it sounds like it’s getting brighter as I turn it down!! Drastic change in tone. So I’m like, dammittt…got a bad pot or something it touching something it’s not supposed to….when I dropped the electronics earlier. So I unscrew the toggle and pots, fish it around to look at the neck tone pot…. THERES A GOB OF POLISHING COMPOUND ON THE MIDDLE POLE OF THE POT TOUCHING GROUND!!!! OMG. I felt like such a dummy. LOL 😆
