Danke Schoen, which is Wayne-Newtonian for "thank you very much!" As for me and BrentRocks being the same person, well.... ;D

Thanks for the kind welcome, all! I will be posting pictures this week. After all, I don't want to run afoul of the Heritage Owners Club! Things could get ugly! And besides, I think you guys are the only ones who understand my illness!!  ;D

Welcome to the Club, CJ. Heritage does make a light weight H-150 (LP-style) that may be weight relieved. I've never handled one, but I'm sure someone here can fill you in on the details.

 

Mr. Seacup is correct...the model is the H-150 LW (for "light weight") and it features a chambered mahogany body for weight relief. I've only held it at the factory and it's definitely a couple of pounds lighter.

Hi folks,

 

I have a sickness…and its name is Heritage Guitars. In the last 16 years or so, I have owned more than 30 of them, buying, selling and trading them as my illness waxed and waned. I currently own six, which is down from about 14 in 2007. The good thing is Heritages represent a great value both new and used.

 

You can blame it on me wanting Gibson guitars as a kid. I’m a Michigander and when I found out that the big ol’ “G” was in Kalamazoo, I got all verklempt! When they moved in ’83, I was bummed, but that became elation when I found that some of them were staying behind to continue making guitars.

 

And now, several trips to K’zoo later, you could say that I’m officially a Heritage nut, preaching about ‘em to all I meet.

 

My collection to date is comprised of:

• [li]HB-2 five-string bass[/li]
  [li]H-158 Millennium w/ Seth Lovers and a Bigsby[/li]
  [li]Kahuna[/li]
  [li]H-150 w/ Lollar P90s[/li]
  [li]HFT-485 (flat-top mini jumbo acoustic)[/li]
  [li]H-555 w/ old style VIP electronics[/li]
  

 

I’ve owned a bunch of their H-150s, H-550s and other models including a blue Johnny Smith I just sold on Ebay. In fact, the only cure for the sickness is having kids and a mortgage. We just had our second baby last year and since the authorities frown on you not feeding your kids, well, you know the rest.

 

Glad to be a part of the community here…looking forward to the dialogue!
