Smoking too much grass & got carried away with the sander? 😆

I like the sculpted heel joint

I'm kind of pissed this isn't available on a Kzoo made 150. I've been flirting with ordering one, but $1k is a bit much for a Chinese made heritage More like descend.

Cool looking !!

I ended up going with the Gotoh SG381- P4N tuners. They're not locking, but they're a step above the stock tuners.

Wow! Thx for the tip

Nice info on the Heritage 150CC bridge upgrades !! Would wanna ask too if the old 2023 2022 custom core tuners also be gettimg replaced back to Grover tuners ? Or gotoh 510 ?

Aw, he's a rank amateur! Someday maybe he'll be able to afford a REAL guitar and amp. 😁

David Gilmour still uses a POS Zoom thing from the 80s to record stuff.

Yeah, both my '98 H150 and 2001 H535 are wearing Faber locking ABR bridges and tailpieces including the threaded bushing inserts. My H150 was factory equipped with a Nashville bridge and standard (heavy zinc) tailpiece instead of the Schaller hardware that was usual at the time. The bushing didn't make much difference on the H150, as the bushings installed in it were actually pretty decent. My 535 had the Schaller roller and top-loader bridge and tail. It had the really crappy short bridge bushing inserts. I used them with the Faber bridge for a while, as the holes were not drilled deep enough in the body. I got the right size and type of bit to do the job correctly and installed the longer Faber steel bushings. Wow, I was not expecting how much they improved the tone of the 535. It really just did the trick, they fit solidly into the maple center block and that seemed to couple the bridge into the body way, way better. The original bushings were so short they really didn't contact much but the laminate top. All in all, I really like the Faber hardware. Seems like a great choice by Heritage to switch.

Surprised that he was so in love with the neck. But, perhaps that's my "backward looking" opinion, from when the neck carve you got depended entirely upon who did it. Which, actually, was kind of fun, it it's own way. Like that he points out that Heritage, operating out of the K'zoo plant actually has a longer, well, heritage building LPs than Gibson does. Except, for me, that kind of fell off when the OG owners stepped out. Not a knock on Pete Farmer, but he wasn't there when the original 50s LPs were being built, like, you know, the OG owners were. The line has been broken, in my mind.
