DetroitBlues Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 One of them sounds a lot like Bigbob's custom 150.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gitfiddler Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I don't see why the boys on Parsons Street couldn't come up with your custom idea. If you add an ebony board, etc. it kind of reminds me of this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heritagefan7 Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 Thx fiddler. I checked out the 135s on ebay...Not so sure abt the p100s b/c I've never played them...What about the 6 on a side tuners? Any opinions on a TOM bridge and stopbar tailpiece? I think I'm mixing vintage and modern ideas & while it sounds good on paper, not sure how it might come out in the end. I hear the trap tailpeices are not as easy to work with????

Billgelder Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I know what you are going through. I have been looking for a Les Paul R9. Two week ago I found one in WBP FL. I was very disappointed with the workmanship and the overall quality of the guitar. A freind told me about Heritage's Custom shop. So I have spent the last two weeks designing a custom H150. This is what I came up with. Let me know what you think. Optional custom finish- "Brock-Dapra Burst on AA flame top with faded Cherry back * deep dished carved top * Long neck Tenon * All Honduran mahogany body & neck * FAT ‘58 style neck * Nitrocellulose lacquer finish * Locking Grover keys * Stainless Steel frets * TonePros bridge & stop bar * CTS pots w/ Spraque caps * real M.O.Pearl inlays * Cream color bindings * Pickguard not installed- just included in the case w/ hardware * Pickups: * SD Pearly Gates in Bridge, Alnico II Pro in neck- both 4 conductor wires for coil taps * Push Pull coil tap pots for both pickups • Heritage Hardshell case (a $200 value) • REAL Nitrocellulose lacquer finish • Hang tag and warranty certificate • Truss rod adjustment wrench, bridge tools (TonePro equipped model) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
