My old H-137 had Lollar P90s. Too “polite” for me. Wonderful HiFi sound, but they didn’t punch very hard. I prefer the Gibson variety. edit: Lollar has multiple winds available for their P90s. Truth be told, I don’t know what they were.

Give these Lollars a try sometime. Otherworldly.

I used 0.011s on my ‘94 H-550. They were pretty slinky but still drove the guitar well. Lots of punch.

They need to resurrect the H-516. Gimme that with a fat neck and some P90s. Jazz, blues, rock, country. It would be a do it all guitar. I’m convinced it would sell for less than $13k.

Now retired and sneaking up on codger status, I find myself yearning for an arch top of some flavor. I used to have an H-550, but the neck was mighty thin. Did Heritage ever do an arch top of any size with a girthy neck? I’m used to 50’s style carves.

Wow. Super cool amp. Alas, it would spotlight my inadequacies.

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.

Unfortunately no. This one is long gone as a result of some horsetrading with Brent. I appreciate the Soapbar comment. I had to buy a pack of shims from Lollar to get these pickups set properly. It sounded great. I wish the neck had been a bit fatter.

It’s supposed to look like this!

We used to call it the Windsor ballet.

Here’s another photo

I may have the SN recorded. If I can find it I’ll let you know. As I recall it had Sperzel tuners, Lollar pickups, a pigtail bridge, and a pickguard from a HOC member. I put a shim under the bridge P90 too.
