DetroitBlues Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share Posted October 25, 2013 As I slowly count down the days until my severance payout, I'm stuck changing my mind every week. Now I'm considering a H150 plaintop in a gold top... Seems a bit cheaper and not so crazy of a design.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockabilly69 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 As I slowly count down the days until my severance payout, I'm stuck changing my mind every week. Now I'm considering a H150 plaintop in a gold top... Seems a bit cheaper and not so crazy of a design.... Makes sense to me, but I love Goldtops, and I would put the money into the hardware and electronics where it counts!!! Some things I would consider though are having an RS Guitarworks Vintage Harness installed, and all Faber lightweight nickel hardware installed. Plus Kuz tells me that HOC members get a discount on Throbak pickups, and I feel they are superior to Alnico IIs (And I like Alnico IIs) for the perfect bluesy PAF pickup. As a matter of fact Kuz sent all of his hardware and pickups to Heritage for his last custom built (that's what he told me). And I would shoot for a target weight to come in the high 8lb range if possible. This is a custom guitar, so why waste time with off the shelf components! PM Kuz, and ask him what he thinks. And, insist that they drill the ABR posts into the body, no inserts, it takes no more work to install a proper ABR, and it's not like they haven't done it before. INMSHO Nashville bridges are inferior! That would be a smokin' Goldtop! It's your money, get the most out of it. And I would stay on top of them and make sure they install the hardware you send! Look what happen to Bill Gelder on his custom order, I still don't know if he has the right hardware on his new guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HRB853370 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Goldtop 150's are great! Especially with P-90's! Mine is a keeper!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuz Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 DB, when you are serious, kind of nailed down your ideas, I would be happy to help. Like Daniel said, I have ordered 4 custom Heritages and would be happy to help. There DEFINITELY are some pointers and tips to getting a custom order done at Heritage (and done CORRECTLY, regardless of what dealer you use..... trust me and you can learn through my trials). If you want my help, PM and I would be happy to talk to you live on the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
