pegleg32 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I was just reading the Mar 7, 2009 post on the differences between the 150 and 157. Very helpful article. I was wondering what humbucker would be considered to be standard on the 157. I fully realize now that Heritage is willing to put pretty much anything you want on any particular guitar, so there could be a wide range of 157 pickups extant. But I wondered what would be considered "standard". Here is an example of what I'm trying to decipher: http://cgi.ebay.com/HERITAGE-H-157-ALMOND-...id=p3286.c0.m14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is an example of what I'm trying to decipher: http://cgi.ebay.com/HERITAGE-H-157-ALMOND-...id=p3286.c0.m14 That one most likely has Duncans ( two height adjustment screws per pickup, one either side), probably 59s' or Seths. Four height adjustment screws per pickup, two either side, usually indicates Schallers or HRWs ( modified Schallers) -- the presence of a dot on the pickup selector switch is also a give away for HRWs. As for the "standard" well that is tricky, some dealers have mostly 150 /157s equipped with Duncans or HRWs. I haven't noticed too many of the newer guitars with Schallers.

TalismanRich Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Pegleg, My 2003 Almond Burst 157 came stock with Schallers. I checked to make sure last time I changed the strings. Mine have the double mounting screws. As Southpaw said, these are most likely Duncans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
