So I did a thing

[PunkKitty]

For the last several months, I've been having financial issues and had to sell off most of my name brand guitars. I ended up refinancing to ease the pain a bit. Living on less than $100 a month is not fun. And I have equity in the house, so I'm releasing the pressure and living off of it. It's not like I have heirs to pass anything to. The payout will happen this week, so things will be much easier after that. I just found this on Reverb at a price too good to pass up. It's a 2022. I've been getting away from flame maple, etc. While I appreciate the beauty, I'm far more interested in function right now. So I've been looking at black and oxblood and was torn between a Les Paul Standard and an H-150. The H-150 won. I'll bring it to PSP. And I'm not rebuilding the collection to what it was before. I'm fine with what I have. The guitar should arrive within the next week.

I also appreciate the functionality over function. 

First question I have to ask is how's the neck?  Newer Heritages have a nice beefy neck these days.

That's definitely nice one there, congratulations; hard to tell, is that ebony or oxblood?

Sweetwater had a special run of Oxblood H150 which was a rather difficult paint to get right from what I was told.

Hope you enjoy it!

It's ebony. Whatever the neck is, I'll adapt to it. But it's a 2022, so I'm guessing that it's fairly beefy.

Beautiful H-150!  Enjoy!

[ESchmidt]

Nice looking H-150, congrats and enjoy!!

Really nice.

I received it today. It's as nice as you think it is. I'm not convinced that the pickups are original. They overdrive my tube amp at low volumes when I'm not using overdrive. I'll look at it later. I have a set of JS Moore humbuckers that are going in it.

No problem. It's kind of hard to tell in the picture.

This guitar plays with the lightest touch of any that I've tried. I love this thing. It's also light for a 150 at just 9 pounds. I installed the set of JS Moore humbuckers that I had. Phenomenal.

What was in it?

Stock Duncan 59's. I chatted with Mike Ortiz about it. He thinks the pickups might be defective. I'm going to test them in another guitar to see what happens. Maybe it was just the combination of the guitar and the pickups. But the JS Moore's sound great.

[PunkKitty]

I just installed the 59's in my PRS SE Zach Myers (a fantastic guitar). They sound like they should. It must have been the interaction of the wood with those pickups. Wood matters.

I like thick black women. And once you go black, you never go back!
