Special Invitation To New Members

I'm actually in Elmhurst so we're neighbors. I was thinking about a millennium, maybe for no reason than its a little smaller. My only electric guitar is a used and beat up Peavy semi-hollow body that I actually got in Villa Park. I find it a little big.

Yes, a Millie will give you lots of options to choose from (f hole or no, single or double cut.) I've never played one but I hear they are wonderful.

 
Hi all,

I hail from Australia and am hoping to get some advice about getting a Propsect and/or H535 to the land down under.

Cheers.

 
Hi I'm Keith. I just joined because I'm in the process of buying a Lefty H150! I've been playing over twenty years and I've needed a real guitar for a long time.

I wanted a Kalamazoo sibling for my 1917 Gibson L-1 and I'm sure The Heritage will deliver.

My current electric is a parts Paul, assembled from a Lefty SX with Jimmy Page wiring and Seymour Duncan Whole Lotta Humbuckers, gold Grovers, Switchcraft jack and toggle, vintage Sprague Black Beauties...

Some of this stuff will end up in the H-150 for sure.

I also built my own HiWatt clone for my main amp. I've documented some of this elsewhere, so I'll link to it sometime soon.

When I get the Heritage in a few weeks, I'll be back to share it with you guys :D

Welcome to the asylum! Anxious to see your new lefty 150 as well as that Hiwatt clone rig.

 
Hello all,

I've been a lurker here for a few months and finally decided to join in. There are some great discussion going on here so it's been very helpful. I have a couple of lefty H535s and love them. I have become addicted to this guitar company. Please help me. I'm thinking about buying a H150 but don't really need it. Well, I sort of need it. I could most certainly use it. I would use it. So I guess I should go find one...

A noble ambition if ever I heard one.

It took me months to secure a Lefty H150... I'm not saying it's impossible, but it would have been a lot less hassle if I had saved up some more and ordered a new one from Wolfe Guitars or something.

That's what I think I'm going to do. Order one. If I order one I was thinking 25.5" scale. Anyone play a H150 like that?

I grew up playing a Strat, but getting my first Les Paul copy was a revelation. It was so much easier to play. I just got better almost immediately.

I guess it depends on your hands and what your comfortable with, but I'm a big fan of 24.75.

 
HI all!

My turn, I suppose! Real Life name is same as HOC handle; longtime Fargo, ND resident. I've been a HOC forums lurker for some time now, but just noticed this thread.

After 2 years of lessons from a GIT-Trained instructor 30 years ago ( in my teen years), I sold my Fender Deluxe Reverb and Charvel s-type to help pay for college. Bought a Blueridge western acoustic (BR65), and played sparingly for the next 30 years...

Fast forward to present: The kids are grown and almost gone, and I've got time to rekindle an old love. That meant Jazz guitar lessons from a local university instructor. I'm shaking off the rust, and learning sure comes more difficult now that it did before, but I've been greatly enjoying re-learning a genre of music that I did not fully appreciate in my youth! I quickly discovered the limitations of the Blueridge, and sought a jazz box to mitigate the challenges of trying to play jazz music on a western guitar. I found a used Ibanez SS300. It actually plays quite well, but is certainly a 'bridge' guitar until I can fullfil the dream and buy a Heritage archtop... My old hometown music store in Bismarck, ND (Eckroth Music) was a very early Heritage dealer, and I fell in love with them from the get-go. So, I keep playing, and learning, and waiting for the time to become a Heritage owner myself!

Best wishes, all

Justin

Welcome Justin.

I know the feeling of picking up up a guitar after DECADES of it hiding under the bed or in the closet. The good part for me was finding that my love of playing was stronger than when I was young. Plus, you can probably indulge yourself a little more than you could when you were young.

Be sure to let us know when you find "the one".

New guy Steve checking in! I received a H535 from my brother and his wife for my 60th birthday!!! Long time Gibson and Fender owner. This is my first Heritage! I was stunned when I opened the case! Absolutely beautiful!

Stunning! The color and pickguard looks like early 1960s 335..

My brother lives in Kalamazoo and picked it up at the factory. He said everyone there was awesome and were super helpful in choosing this one! There is a custom shop label inside that everyone there signed!
I used to have an early 70's 335 and this one is much nicer!

Hi, Damjan here, first post and got really interested when Skolnick repped Heritage a few years ago. Had a new Gibson that I liked except just wasn't heavy enough (modern weight relief) and was missing sustain so here I am.

I had no idea about weight relief until a few months ago and I'll be honest, it was hard to stomach what I was reading.

Just got this 1996 Heritage H150 from guitarcenter.com, couldn't be more pleased with it. It is EXACTLY the tank I want in an LP, sustain for days, sturdy, chunky neck, fights back when I'm picking (the weight relieved models move with my hand so it makes it harder to pick on as my right hand is going all over the place instead of a heavy body helping to keep it in place).

One question, I notice sometimes this websites goes to a url4short.info page, any idea what's up with that?
