zdzislaw Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 If HRWs are no longer available, which pickups might come closest to their sound if I were to order a new H157? Already have a H140 anniversary with SD '59s - so don't need to duplicate that. thanx all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyGrass Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 They are sometimes available on eBay. RhoadesScholar is selling a H150 with HRWs. He may sell the pickups out of it. I'd ask him. I find Schallers sound the closest, but they are not the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smaj Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I would ask Ren himself. He might have the best idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthpawGuy Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Been a long time since I've used one but if we're talking Duncan pickups a bridge position SH-11 Custom Custom in a Godin LGXA sounded similar, hot and bright. In the ball park but not exactly the same. Actually the pickup in the Godin was a custom Custom Custom. Never really took to that pickup, much preferred the Jazz II in the neck.

Sven Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 So, are they still available on new guitars or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum13 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 So, are they still available on new guitars or not? Can't get them on a new production Heritage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyGrass Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 It sounds like there will be a set available soon coming off RhoadsScholar's H150 in the For Sale section. I may have a few available in a while, too. I'm not sure yet. As far as I know Heritage isn't making the pickup anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chico Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 if they are no longer available from the factory on new guitars they may want to take down the page on the company website http://www.heritageguitar.com/hrw_pickups.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zdzislaw Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 Heritage doesn't do well with updating their website. Plus, the HRWs are unique and not producing them might lose an attractive point for some folks in deciding to buy a Heritage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitBlues Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Talk to Michaeljames. He appears to have a set available now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
