Steiner Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Your new girlfriend is going to get jealous if she finds out you've been looking... I've seen a few of Ren's creations in addition to hearing the HRWs. Based on past experience, I'd venture to say they are winners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brentrocks Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 i'm waiting for jay to post clips.....i would like to hear a side-by-side comparison to HRWs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H555rocks Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I was there the day they got the guitar and played it through a Swart Space-Tone. The new Renn pickup is a little edgy I felt( (in a good way) and breaks up alot easier than the H157 I compared it to (59 in neck, Seth in bridge). I feel that this could be a great kinda 60's feel rock guitar and I have to mention that the flametop is beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Actually that kind of brings up a lot of questions. Will the new pickups be readily available, who is manufactering them, what's the upcharge, what are they called? And what's the deal with the guitar in the pic is that a custom spec 150cm or a special or what? Wondering about the dot inlays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heritagefan7 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Wow---that is a sweet git---I'd love to hear the p'up---The burstbuckers I've heard sounded a bit thin to me (they were in GLPs) If that's the general idea w/ this, I'd bet that this is what a burstbucker should sound like---It just seems that Heritage always gets it right!...Not to add insult to injury, but this is a much better "innovation" path than acrylic inlays and baked Maple or richlite. I'm so glad there is such a thing as Heritage guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunote Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 It would be triple throwdown mojo cool if they were wound on the original Parson St. winder the Throback guy bought. But, I doubt that would matter much to Ren. He'd be after whatever got him nearest the sound he wanted regardless of what machine did the winding. Even so, I'm sure he'd still sprinkle some of that Parsons St. pixie dust on 'em to make it all super special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyGrass Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 That's strange that he's come out with another pickup unless it's a SD version of the HRW with about the same specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groovin Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Does anyone know why Ren stopped producing his HRW pickups? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalismanRich Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 That's strange that he's come out with another pickup unless it's a SD version of the HRW with about the same specs. I'm guessing that they are working with SD to replace the Schaller base of the HRWs. I remember comments that Schallers were getting hard to obtain. Duncan probably has plenty of capacity, and they obviously know how to tune a pickup. What better place to start? A little confidentiality agreement and we're back to producing an RW pickup.

H555rocks Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Talkimg about the throbak string winder, I might be wrong but I believe Heritage had two of them but maybe didn't restore one? I know for a fact that THrobak had the one restored so he could use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolero Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I thought part of the deal with the sale of the winder was the option to OEM throbak pups? I love my throbaks That is a sexy 150!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueox Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 "Is there any confirmation Ren is making a new type of HRWs?" This is the key question. Unless new pickups come from the design or alteration of Ren Wall, they will not be replacements for the HRW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
