Like I said, I am trying to resist. Maybe one you guys could explain to me why I shouldn't want one of these instead of a Gibson?

Thanks,

Hank

Because......... Its an intangible thing. :rolleyes:

Just play a few and see what you come up with.

Not very good as a sales guy am I ;D

Korina, P90's. How cool is that

 
Hi Gitfiddler

I have a H 575 made in 1991. Do you know what the guitar is worth now? It is in very good condition. I do not want to sell it - but I just want to know its value. Thank you and Merry Christmas!!

Hi there, Harold, and welcome to the HOC!

As for your H-575's value, see if you can upload a photo of it here and describe its condition, features and pickups.  There are a number of 575 owners (and one 'Wheeler Dealer) here who will gladly give you a range.

Another option is to do an Ebay search for sold Heritage H-575's.  Then you can see actual instruments to compare yours with.

 
I pulled the cover off the back and the sticker read 150M - anyone know the info on this model?  I only see H150CM and H150 Special on the Heritage website.
I'm enjoying learning how to play it.  Got a long way to go!

Thats a nice 150 right there. Welcome to the HoC. We have our own PhotoBucket site that we all (well, most) post pics to. But don't recall the url right off. It's here somewhere. Would be another good place for you to post your pics.

 
Hi Don and Welcome to the HOC !!!

I see you had a couple of Stats, unusual to see someone with a couple of those.

Do you still have them ?

The Stat in the background looks to have 2 humbuckers with 2 volumes and tones and a Kahler, and "teardrop" burst .... kinda familiar !

Totonka,  think the 150'M' means it has an all-mahogany body, rather than a maple top with a mahogany body.

 
***Question, when I back off the tone pot, it's almost like a switch, not a click, but a noticible change in sound during that first tiny motion.  Is this normal? (both tone pots do it inthe middle PU position).Thanks, Paul

Hrmmm, not sure what pots Heritage uses, but I would have guessed they would be linear. I know Hamer has special taper pots and they are not linear and so a small movement at the extreme end gets you a big "boost" relative to the change through the rest of the arc. Do the tone pots still do this when you're on either/or pup and not both?

Thanks for the info.  I was hoping someone here would know.  Thanks again

What is the difference between Audio and Linear taper pots?

Audio and Linear taper pots have the same total resistance but differ in which position of rotation the pot will reach the 50% value. Linear pots  are usually marked with a B or Lin (examples 250KB, B250K, 250K Lin) and will reach 50% of its total resistance in the 50% rotation point. Audio taper pots are usually marked with an A or Aud (examples 500KA, A500K 500K Aud) and will decrease most of the resistance in the last 50% of the rotation. This can give a more gradual audio reduction is some cases. Most manufactures and builders either use Audio taper pots for volume and tone or  linear for volume and audio for tone. However, if a problem of exists where a volume or tone pot has no effect on the sound, try a changing the taper. How to check the taper with an ohm meter: Set the pot to the center position (50% rotation) and measure the resistance between the center pin and each of the outer pins. If the the resistance is equal (50% of the pots value) the pot is linear. If the values are not equal, the pot is an Audio taper.

Audio taper pots are usually in volume settings since our hearing is a log type response.    This tends to even out the increase in volume.  That's one of the things I hated about my old Fender Jaguar, it seemed to just jump in the last 1/8 turn in volume.  Of course at that time, I was a kid and didn't know about changing pots and stuff.  The tone was smoother.  In retrospect, they were probably linear tapers.

 
Well I'm new here, and although I do not yet own a Heritage guitar, I hope to.  I do own a couple of guitars including a R. Taylor acoustic, an American Deluxe Tele, and a Taylor T-5.  But what I'm gassing for is a H-535........someday soon.

Welcome to The Club, Erick!  You're not alone in gassing for a 535, but have you, uh, checked out the 555 yet?  Suuuuhhhhweeet!

 
Hello All!  I am new here - registered tonight.

I own a '91 H140 w/factory 3-pickups, a '97 H150 Dark Amber Flame and a '00 H150 Alpine White w/Gold Hardware.

I really like Heritage guitars.  I also own a bunch of Fenders & Gibbys.
