As an addendum to my intro post, we had an older (than us) couple over last evening, and the husband played some older Zep, Allman Bros. and Jethro Tull stuff with my H150P through my Zinky Blue Velvet 50w combo. It absolutely amazed me how authentic everything sounded even though the guitar has a poplar body, Schaller pickups/bridge, the amp isn't a Marshall/Fender/Vox..... -I guess my point here is that even though the recipe for "the" tone(s) wasn't followed precisely, they were still spot on. I sat back and heard real rock and roll that didn't sound forced, faked or just a little askew for the particular artist. It's just a fantastic guitar! (and the amp's pretty sweet, too) So, I'll probably leave this one bone stock. When I acquire another one, we'll see. A semi-hollow's next on the list. -Just don't tell my wife, -yet.

Hello all, I'm Chris, and I just acquired my 1st Heritage. It's a 1994 H-150P that I spied on the baywatch section of this board. I got it from a GC in Plymouth Meeting PA sight unseen. (I had wanted to purchase the H170custom that Brent had for sale, but I prefer dealing with smaller volume shops) Anyhow, the guitar is quite nice. It's incredibly resonant unplugged, and after a bit of fiddling w/ the Schallers, it sounds nice amplified, too. I've been able to get some nice jazzy tones, early Black Crowes type chime, and good rock/metal tones out of those p'ups. I am mailny a hobbyist as far as playing goes, but I do arrange tunes/play for our church's youth group. Here's some pics of it: This photo is with my only other electric, a Zion Radicaster in frosted marble. It has a DiMarzio Tone Zone bridge and Fred neck, so it's quite a bit hotter than the H150, and fills its own sonic niche. I've enjoyed the HOC thus far, and I'm sure this will not be my only guitar from Kalamazoo.
