tsp17 Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 from what i've seen, looks like upgraded tops and pickups? is that right? what else (if anything) am i missing? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredZepp Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 I don't think that they currently make a Classic.... When Heritage was using Schaller pickups as the stock pickup in the H-150 model, the Classic was an option that gave you Seymour Duncan '59 model pickups. I don't remember any other difference....... (Someone correct me if I'm wrong ) This H-150CM of mine is a Classic from 2000... (it's had a few minor modifications..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsp17 Posted May 7, 2011 Author Share Posted May 7, 2011 Looking at a 2007, so that makes sense. has Seth Lovers. must have been an upgrade from Schallers at that time. how do you like yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I think the hardware was not the then standard Schaller tailpiece and roller bridge, but the more classic style hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredZepp Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Looking at a 2007, so that makes sense. has Seth Lovers. must have been an upgrade from Schallers at that time. how do you like yours? Oh, I LOVE mine.... It plays and sounds great with a medium C neck. I picked this one because I liked the look and find the '59's work well for me. My other H-150 has a Burstbucker 1 (underwound) at the neck and a Seth at the bridge. It's excellent. I wonder if the Seths in the 2007 were factory installed, that is likely. Perhaps someone ordered the Seths substituted for the "59s. Seths have a great old PAF sound and are well liked. The '59's are a little more resistant to feedback.

While mine in 2000 did come with all Schaller hardware... that would be a logical change for them to make in the later ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsp17 Posted May 7, 2011 Author Share Posted May 7, 2011 the one i am looking at is new (from 2007), so not sure why the seths.... i'll ask the seller to verify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredZepp Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 the one i am looking at is new (from 2007), so not sure why the seths.... i'll ask the seller to verify. It is very possible ... they install a lot of Seths. Seth Lover pickups are very popular in Heritage guitars. It is likely that the label ( in the control cavity ) may specify what pickups were originally installed. ...Or not. It doesn't matter, as some would prefer Seths in any case. They are great for about anything except maybe really high gain sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 In the CM Classic guitar, you had your choice of Duncan pickups. Either the 59's or Seth Lovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
