This guitar was bought used by a friend about a decade ago from a GC. The neck was not right, but I don't recall why. The action was high, so he got a discount, as I recall. He brought this to Aaron Cowles, a superb luthier from Gibson who did work for Heritage, including tap tuning. The guitar was renecked. This is a standard H-575 but now has a maple neck and an ebony fretboard. There is binding on the headstock and a MOP Heritage inlay. The harness was resoldered due some instability. There now is no serial number on it. It plays very well and has an old style beefy neck. It has a nice tone, too. My friend lent it to me a couple of years ago. I'm about to return it. It weighs 7 lb 10 oz, slightly heavier than other H-575s I've handled, about an extra 5 oz. It's built like a tank. The top is fairly thick but not to any extreme. Before it goes, here are some pics. It is a beauty.

So happy, just bought this beauty! New Custom Core Heritage Factory Special H150 Antique Pelham Blue! Can’t wait to get it in my hands! Not what I would normally buy color wise, but the combination of the Pelham blue and the light color wood just got my attention! Anybody else have one of these? Or am I the only weirdo that likes them 😅

beautiful, enjoy it 🙂
