Looks like a D-VIP setup. http://www.heritageguitar.com/Custom%20Features/D-VIP.htm Does the cavity plate specify which pickups ? They could be Duncan SH-3 Stag-mags http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/elec...e/sh3_stag_mag/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mars_hall Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 A guess would be that the VV is actually W, the symbol for White. Poplar is a common hardwood used for guitars including some Strats. Should sound a bit brighter than Mahogany and not be quite as resonant. Still good, but no the deep edge thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid $625 shipped, what do you think? It's pretty clean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it plays really nice, my other H150CM has a different feel to it. I guess all the swirches will work out like the rest I've owned, two or three sounds you like and the rest (well you know) I was hoping the thing would sound like my wifes H127 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Mark. I think your right. I think the 2 V's equal white on white since the guitar is completly white to include the neck. The sticker says H150 W White, maybe not two V's like I thought.

Bluesdawg Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 I know the feeling ..... my VIP2 D A M Bro you have one extra mini toggle, I only have two and can't figure it out. The Heritage D-VIP instructions helped, what do we do live, I can barely remember how to get home LOL Trying to remember which position the switches go in could be to much We'll see Thanks for your input Al B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two outside ones are for the VIP, and are 3 way switches - bucker / single coil / vari phase. I haven't experimented with the vari phase too much, I have used the single coil option a bit, but mostly use the full humbucker setting. On mine the 4 rotary controls are not what you might expect, when playing the two nearest to me, I'm left handed remember, are the master volume and master tone. The remaining two rotary controls are for the out of phase, one for each pickup. That might be similar to yours, mine was redone ( new HRWs and wiring to D-VIP) in the factory a few months ago.

JohnCovach Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Poplar get a bad rap by guitar "experts" in the magazines. I had a 150P that was a great sounding guitar--light and extremely resonant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the response, I've never had a poplar bodied guitar before. Check out the pictures in my albums under bluesdawg. The guitar is all white, it plays great talk to you later Al B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've shrunk an inch (in height) since I first strapped on my Heritage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guitar is lighter for sure and at this point sounds pretty good also Onerall I'm pretty happy with my used H150 white, I also have the H150CM, both are very good playing guitars.
