It's very much like my '87 H-140, but a touch less "clowny". I swapped the pickups for Alnico Pro IIs because there was an issue with one of the original pickups. It's a really solid guitar, plays and sounds very good, especially for a 38 year old guitar! I have heard people say they got guitars with BGN and couldn't find any reason why it was so marked. Often it was a minor finish flaw.

I still have one of the original rack units! And it still sounds really good!

Try a Carr Rambler. All the headroom you could want in a 1 x 12 package. Swap the speaker out for a Neo and it carves a fair bit off the already reasonable sub 40# weight. I have a 1 x 12 Victoria Ivy League that is exceptionally light. It uses 6V6 tubes but is still loud as hell prior to breakup. It's not equipped with all the bells and whistles that he Accomplice is, but makes for a great pedal platform if you want to add 'Verb and Trem.

What about one of those solid state jazz amps, like Polytone?

Great, great post OP!!!! I own 5 LP guitars, I am very new to guitar playing, but being an architect I absolutely go bananas for the look and design of the Les Paul. It just makes you want to pick it up and play it!!.....even if you are a newby like myself. So I have five, lol....2 Gibson (Classic & Slash November Burst) and 3 Heritage H150's....'14,'22,'23. My Gibson Slash is an absolute dream to play, everything in that guitar is just perfect (I think I got lucky with that guitar, I spent 4 hours at Gibson Garage looking at LP 50's & 60's and they all sucked, until they brought me this one. It took me 5 minutes to know that it was it!!! Having said that, it being a Gibson...something had to be wrong. The finish on the guitar started to "check/crack" on me on the oddest of places AND the finish was super sensitive to scratching. Took it to Gibson repair and they washed their hands, blaming me for the issue, mind you I bought it in April '24 and by June it was already doing this. I baby my guitars, so it really pissed me off that Gibson would blame me. So I will never buy a Gibson guitar and will only buy Heritage!!!! Once I get better, I plan on taking a trip to the holly land in Michigan and picking myself up a 150 Custom!! Side note, for decades, my wife has had an obsession with purses (Gucci, Channel, LV, etc....) for years I gave her shit, after finding my passion in guitar playing and specifically in Les Paul models........I don't say a word to her about her purses anymore, lol!!! As a matter of fact I encourage her to pursue her happiness because every time she buys a new purse, it gives me the excuse to buy another Heritage!! 😂 Sorry for going on a tangent post!!🙂
