H150 Artisan Aged - Good Retailer

[Gtwibs]

My favorite shop. Bought my H150 here sight unseen a decade ago:

Never heard of Wizz humbuckers but they look pretty pricey. This thing looks sweet.

That's way over-priced.

When those first were introduced, there was no upcharge for aged since they were trying to get them in players hands.

Saw one a few months ago in a shop near me, I was tempted but I am in no position to buy anything right now.

I think you might be wrong about not being an upcharge for Aged Custom Cores.  Mine was $600 more for the aging.  Retail was $4599 for aged CC and $3999 for non-aged CC.  I didn't pay retail, but there was definitely a higher upcharge for aging.

I think you may be wrong identifying this example as a Custom Core.

This specific guitar is not a Custom Core and for the first year or two of production there was no up charge.

This was something I know as fact since I saw them in person at the factory when they first came out, prior to the existence of Custom Core.

The ones around me weren't upcharged either, but I didn't like the aging. Too heavy for me. The were lacquer checks around the headstocks so big I thought they were cracks, and the hardware looked pitted. And this was on both H150s and a H530.

Sorry, I misread your original post and thought you were talking about the 150 Custom Cores with no upcharge for aging (which there is), but I guess there was no upcharge for aging on production 150s.
