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

To me all Les Pauls and H150s need to be taken on a case by case basis. They all sound different, my two H-150s are light years apart in tone, and so are my 4 Les Pauls. If I had to sell all but one of them, I would keep my 1960 Reissue Les Paul, it just has the best tone for the type of music that I play along with a very comfortable neck. And coming in second and third in neck shapes for my guitars are my Heritages. They are both medium C with my darkburst being a tad bigger. My Les Paul reissue necks are a bit too big. As for quality I had fret issues and nut issues on both of my Heritages, and most pre band lab H150s I picked up around here had many of the same issues. But the cost of used H150s were so low they were an absolute bargain to someone like me who knows how to do fretwork. That said, since the Bandlab crew cleaned up the shop I'm seeing a much higher quality control on H150s. None that I have picked up have any fret/nut issues. I did see one H530 that had a badly placed bridge that couldn't be intonated, which was a heartbreaker because it belonged to my best friend and it sounded GREAT. The quality of the wood has consistently been good with Heritage on most every Heritage that I have picked up, all though many of the earlier sold bodies were pretty heavy. So do I think Heritage builds a better Les Paul? Re-read my first sentence

Wasn’t it @rjsanders who exclaimed “boutique amps for boutique guitars”? If there are no tubes, I have no time. There is so much more buried in a tube amp’s sound.

Looks great!!
