Sweetwater Exclusive Heritages are just alright!

This bad boy joined the herd over the weekend . . .

I'm not normally one for factory aging but the one in this thread

this website's unwieldy edit property wrecked my efforts to polish the preceding post . . . 

The short of it is that Heritage works with Sweetwater for the "Exclusive" releases. Heritage goodness with some one-off variety. My new one has Seth Lovers which was a key consideration in pulling the trigger. H's 225 humbuckers don't garner universal praise and I don't want to gamble with tone since tried-and-true pickup choices are out there. Quick aside, my Sweetwater Exclusive H-150 from earlier in the fall has Lollar Imperials and they're the cat's meow.

Good job, H and SW!

Lollar Imperials are great pickups, I have them in an H150

These 2 threads ramind me of a Doobie Bros tune. I didn't know it was a cover version, or that there were a bunch of versions:

Great tune.    I'll gladly join in for it at PSP next year.

It wouldn't matter what Heritage put in the guitars,   SOMEBODY would complain and change them.    I've seen HRWs panned, and then see them sell for $350 a set, and 225s were listed for the same,  when you can get Seth Lovers for $200 a set.
