That's exactly what I thought of their P90s and I tried muiltiple winds. Too polite, too hifi! I like Gibsons too, and Wolfetone Mean and Meaners.

I know crazy resistance values, but the output doesn't reflect that. It's more of a medium output due to the stacked coils and different size wire than a conventional humbucker.. I have side by side coil humbuckers with much lower DC resistance and a much hotter output. I would like to try the Hot Chicken bridge pickup. I think I'm going to put one in my custom shop Deluxe Tele which currently has a BG1400 in it. I think the Hot Chiicken might blend better with the Duncan "Vintage Stack" I have in the neck. The Vintage Stack isn't hot enough to get a good middle position with the BG 1400. And since I have the BG1400 in two other Teles, I think it would be nice to have a slightly lower output in one guitar. Beside I can stick the BG1400 I pull into the Esquire that I built:) They do sound like a single coil, but I'm more of a fan of the Duncan's tone for getting the Tele tone. I do like the Area T DiMarzio stacked humbuckers which I think get great Tele tone.

I have given them a try nice pickups! The CC pickup in the neck position is a particularly cool pickup. I'm not a fan of Lollars across the board, but they make certain pickups that do it for me. The Heritage H535 P90 that Kuz sold me has a particularly good set of Lollar P90s which generally I never liked before, buit these pickups changed my mind about Lollar P90s... My Teye La Perla has custom made for Teye Lollar low wound Imperials and I LOVE them... [img]https://i.imgur.com/HMAEORY.jpg[/img]

Must be a pretty stiff neck to jump two guages without a tweak. Fantastic.

Did you have to tweak the truss rod?

Nice Tele Kitty! I've never tried the BG1400 with a P90 because I record alot around computer monitors so I like noiseless Teles, but I bet that combo sounds great! My main Tele, which I built, has a Tyson Tone Lab Precious and Grace humbucker in the neck, and the BG`1400 in the bridge. The body is an Allen Eden Body made from Paulownia wood, and it's light as a feather. It's the best Tele that I've ever owned and one the best Teles I've ever heard. It's the one that really got me into the BG1400...

Because I've loved them ever since I popped one into a Tele, I now have the Seymour Duncan BG1400 bridge pickup in three Teles, but this is the first time I've had the set of both pickups in a guitar. I've had problems getting a neck humbucker that would balance well with the BG1400, and finally the custom shop started offering a BG1400 for the neck position. This set took quite a bit of fiddling with both pickup heights, but, I really wound up with a good balance. The trick was to get the neck pickup right under the strings then adjust the height of the bridge pickup for a good middle position. Soon as you get that middle position sounding right, the bridge pickup volume will be just slightly louder than the other two positions, and frankly, that's where I like it. In this demo I break the song into thirds, neck pickup first, middle, then bridge. I tried to use enough gain to make the pickups sing, but not too much where it would make it hard to discern what each position sounds like. The Tele is plugged straight into my Mesa Fillmore 50, and I'm also using one of my closed back Marshall Speaker cabs (Celestion Cream Alnico). The ext cab is mic'd with a CAD E350 condensor, and the Fillmore with a Sennehiser MD421. The bass and drums are guys from my band Vorraro, Martin Carle on Drums, and Jeff Aaron on bass.

nice song, great jazz guitar tone, and great playing!

those look great!

some serious flame maple on that one!

DanElectro Hodad MKIII Bass, and one more H357 on the stand on the far right!

Congrats on your new guitar. The Custom Core gold looks great. Enjoy!!!

wow that's a great looking guitar!

Mine are lightly doped and they break up gloriously. yes you should!

One of the first great guitars I ever played was a late sixties ES330. Those are GREAT guitars! Post a picture of that with your Heritage!That'll be a great gigging pair!!!

I am both an ES125 fan (I've had 4 of them, but only kept one single pickup version, because it's a beast, it's nicknamed the '69 Chevelle because of the rumble it makes) and a P90 fan in general. I think P90s are the sound of rock and roll! Here are all of my P90 guitars. The Heritage H525 P90 (Lollar P90s) 1965 Gibson ES125T (vintage original Gibson P90) 2024 USA Les Paul Special (Gibson P90s), 2010 Gibson Historic SG Special (Wolfetone Mean And Meaner P90s) 2024 Gibson Historic 1954 Les Paul Reissue (Gibson P90s) As for tubes, that is what the good lord intended for all electric guitars to be plugged into

My favorite speaker is the Weber 12A125A. It's a low wattage speaker that I use in three amps currently Mesa DC-2 (25 watts) Clark Beaufort Supreme (20 watts) TopHat Club Deluxe (20 watts) The speaker is rated at 30 watts, but sometimes I throw a lot of outboard gain pedals into these amps (Origin Effects Revival Drive and M/EQ driver, Analogman Sunface BC108 fuzz, Durham Sex Drive) so I try to listen carefully to see if I'm at that edge. Because as Rich says above, square waves (particularly fuzzes), can destroy speakers if pushed close to their ratings! That said, I WANT the speaker to distort as I think that is part of the rock and roll sound.

Congrats on your new guitar. Sounds like you found a good one! And I love blonds (guitars that is). I have a H535 with P90s and I love the way that it feels. And, I'm also a fan of Thomastik flats, I use them on my Gretsch DuoJet. Thomastik makes the best flats, and that's from experience, I've tried them all. They are just so slinky As everyone else has said, let's see some pics.

I'm a big Gotoh fan, I have there Luxury series 21:1 ratio 510 series on 4 of my Zemaitis guitars, and I have plenty of experience with the 381 series, they are definitely an upgrade to the stock tuners.

NIce looking color on that goldtop, and the new bridge looks WAY better!!! What tuners are you putting on it?

I wouldn't trust a thing that comes out of that's guys mouth. I can't understand why Heritage would build this guy a guitar for free. Just google up Vertex and rippoff and you will find out about his history... from Joe Bonnamassa... Hey Guys, I'm sorry to be chiming in so late but I must warn all you fellow gear nerds to stay away from Vertex effects and pedalboard services. Mason is not truthful nor is his work good or in most cases his own. He had me on his site without permission as a user and happy customer. I am/was neither happy nor do I use any of his products. My pedalboard sounded awful, took tons of gain away, and added a huge ground hum. It also cost $1400 and that was after I pitched a fit when the $2000 bill came to my tour manager all the while seeing unauthorized You Tube videos of my " new rig" a rig I never tried nor signed off on. Fortunately Dave Friedman at Rack Systems came in and saved the day for $400. All I wanted and asked for was to have some cables cut to size. I didn't want to waste Dave's time so I gave it to Mason. BIG MISTAKE.... I am very disturbed by his actions and have heard recently that he has been called out on some Wah Wah pedal stuff. Bad News Bear that cat is unfortunately. So... In closing... Just trying to keep my fellow guitar nerds from getting ripped off like I was. Caveat Emptor Joe Bonamassa.

I thought the wine red one with the stinger was pretty cool. I've always been a Les Paul Deluxe fan!

To me all Les Pauls and H150s need to be taken on a case by case basis. They all sound different, my two H-150s are light years apart in tone, and so are my 4 Les Pauls. If I had to sell all but one of them, I would keep my 1960 Reissue Les Paul, it just has the best tone for the type of music that I play along with a very comfortable neck. And coming in second and third in neck shapes for my guitars are my Heritages. They are both medium C with my darkburst being a tad bigger. My Les Paul reissue necks are a bit too big. As for quality I had fret issues and nut issues on both of my Heritages, and most pre band lab H150s I picked up around here had many of the same issues. But the cost of used H150s were so low they were an absolute bargain to someone like me who knows how to do fretwork. That said, since the Bandlab crew cleaned up the shop I'm seeing a much higher quality control on H150s. None that I have picked up have any fret/nut issues. I did see one H530 that had a badly placed bridge that couldn't be intonated, which was a heartbreaker because it belonged to my best friend and it sounded GREAT. The quality of the wood has consistently been good with Heritage on most every Heritage that I have picked up, all though many of the earlier sold bodies were pretty heavy. So do I think Heritage builds a better Les Paul? Re-read my first sentence

I made a short little demo with no speaker cabinets, just the di straight in for both guitars and the bass...

That is a nice thing. The Rockcrusher Recording is also switchable (8 or 16 Ohms), and that will handle all my needs. The nice thing about the "Recording model" is the Speaker emulation side with the 11 band tuned EQ. It does a great job of emulating all of the speakers that I use in my amps when I want to play in total silent NO SPEAKER mode, using just the LOAD box feature of the Rockcrusher. I record at lot in the very early morning 1 AM through 4 AM, and the only thing separating my recording room from the master bedroom in our house is a small bathroom, so I have to be whisper quiet when I record. And sometimes I like to record rhythm tracks with my drummer, and it's great to be able to sent him a rhythm track in his headphones, but when he's gone, I could wipe the track cause it didn't bleed into the drum mics. Then I can build the song up with his drum track, but re-record the rhythms when I can crank the amps!
