Heritage H-150 Run of 4 Featuring Four Owner’s Engraved on Headstock

[BillyTwang]

Does anyone have information on this run of 4 with The Heritage owner's names (JP, Bill, Marv, and Jim) engraved on the head-stock? I am interested in any other distinguishing features. Based on the serial number the run occurred around 2016. Did a specific luthier oversee the builds? Thank you for any insight.

Never heard of this particular special run, but I spotted this 2025 listing on Facebook...

Yes,  that is the listing on Reverb. The shop quotes the standard specs from the Heritage website but also notes there were only 4 produced. The listing appears to show a 2 piece neck. I'm sure there may be other special features.

That is a stunningly beautiful instrument.

Very nice!

 

I question the description of the neck.  It appears to be a three piece consisting of Korina and Maple. 

When I was at a PSP and picked out a neck blank, I chose a three piece Korina / maple they had lying around. 

Could be an employee build which IMO is better than a production with choice of wood and attention to detail.

 

So there is that.

The "description" is just the standard description for a generic H-150.   It's not a "standard" 150, with the bound headstock, it's more like a Deluxe.   The neck does appear to be korina with a strip of perhaps mahogany or maple.   The pickups also look like aged pickups, perhaps SD Antiquities.   Most likely not stock 59s.

It's surprising to me that a "boutique guitar" dealer trying to sell a guitar as being unique doesn't put a bit more time into the research instead of just pulling junk off the web.

As an AG serial number, it would date to 2016 which is a full year after JP passed away.   I'm sure Jim, Marv or Ren could fill in the details.  The obviously have the other 3. There's no reason that the owners couldn't have decided to commemorate the 4 original owners in guitars.    It was still their company at that point,  just when Plaza was buying into the company (spring of 2016).
