clmazza Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Hi all! New Heritage owner... I'm both a collector and player. Looking forward to contributing. Great site! I'm a member of the Hamer, Dean, Fender, TGP, etc... My latest acquisition.... Just got a chance to shoot a few "glamour shots!" Nicknamed STITCHES due to the two unique scars in the maple top below the tail piece. The board is still a mystery. The factory claims rosewood... but what kind exactly? It really is beautiful. Slightly redish and chocolate brown hues. Very smooth and dense. Dare I say Brazi... Nah 8) Cheers!

Dick Seacup Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Welcome to the board, Chuck. That is a mighty fine looking example of the 150. I noticed you have the black dot on the switch tip; my Millenium has the negative version of that (white dot, black tip). I've never seen them on any other guitar and I think they look pretty cool. Make sure you post some samples in the Sound Clips thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersteel Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 NICE H150! That rosewood looks very pretty as well. Brazilian? I don't know, but it sure is different! Welcome to the club! I noticed you have the black dot on the switch tip; my Millenium has the negative version of that (white dot, black tip). Mine, too is black with the white tip, but I also have black pickup rings. Dick Seacup, what color are your pickup rings? I bet they're white/cream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingnut1 Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 The pickup selector with the dot is supposed to signify that they have HRW pickups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clmazza Posted September 23, 2007 Author Share Posted September 23, 2007 Thanks for the warm welcome ! I put her through the paces last night .... I love these pickups! Can they be purchased separately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersteel Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Can they be purchased separately? No. You have to send your guitar back to Heritage to have them installed--they will not sell them to you directly. I know--I tried! They charged me $250 for the install; plus, they return your old pickups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet they're white/cream. How much did you bet? I'm hoping at least $500, so I can go buy another bottom feeder Heritage. ;D My pup rings are black. I was just looking at it and I don't think I'd like the appearance if they were cream. At least I can't picture how that would look good at all. Maybe it would, who knows. I'm digging the way it looks as-is, though, so no changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that, wingnut! Guess I'll have to get a replacement tip when I get around to putting those HRWs in the 137. Heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Hey chuck, not to change subjects or anything, but the tele you have hanging on the wall in the background looks like the one I have. (neck humbucker), but I cant seem to find any info about it: do you know what model it is, or is yours modified? Nice heritage, by the way.

I bet a six-pack of Sam Adams Octoberfest--it's in the fridge right now! ;D What do you mean by "bottom feeder Heritage?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked, the Sam Adams has gone missing...or maybe it wasn't there to start with! Bottom feeder has always implied "extremely inexpensive." To me, any good quality, name brand, USian built guitar for $500 or less is definitely bottom feeder material. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V neck, 9.5 radius, medium jumbo frets and Lollars. A really fantastic guitar! I know many people knock Bill's relic work... but this one really feels like an old tele 8) Check out my website for additional shots of her ;D Is yours a Fender?
