santellavision Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Hey all! I'm a newbie to this forum, but this is my 3rd Heritage H150. Just wanted to share it. The first chord and I knew this baby was a keeper. Rings like a bell acoustically and tears it up cranked. Since added some RS Guitarworks/Fralin Tru-60's - amazing pickups!

santellavision Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 Sorry it took so long to get back to you all. I got it used from a friend on the Hamer guitars forum. The RS Guitarworks/Fralin Tru-60's are the best I've tried. (And I've tried almost all high-end boutique sets) These are pretty low output as are many real PAF's. (I've owned 3 vintage PAF guitars) These Tru-60's are as close to that sound as I've found. Extremely clear and detailed. Will not drive your amp very hard. Use a pedal or let the amp distort. Another thing I love about these is the neck pu just works. So may neck pu's are too dark or woolly. This one matches output and tone much better to the neck. I use both all the time and never think twice about out. That sold me. As far as the guitar, I've done a few other mods since that pic. (I never intended to keep it original, it's my #1 player) I changed the original shaller tuners from metal buttons to pearl. Took off some weight and looks really nice too. (More pics to come) Changed out the bridge/tail to Tonepros. Replaced the pu rings to normal Gibby style (less holes) And installed the RS Guitarworks Reissue wiring harness too. I've had a few friends play it and they all said it's the greatest guitar they've ever played. I just smile! I hope I won't be banned from the forum for all the changes! haha.
