I like the sculpted heel joint

It’s just paint chips. I was really surprised too. Nice full neck carve.

No it’s passive

The H120… This was Heritage’s entry level single cut. Rumored to have been built from leftover Gibson Marauder and S1 body blanks. No case. No bag. Talk about being played hard and put away wet…. This guitar fits the bill!!!! Chunky 3 piece maple neck. Bolt on neck. Mahogany body. Single Bill Lawrence pickup (leftover from Gibson). Single volume control. This baby has been well loved. The body is beat to ****. But it plays and sounds soooooo goooood. I’m not sure on production numbers for the H120, but if I were to guess, I’d say probably around 100 made? Probably less. Very light also. Only 6 lbs. 9 ozs. Yet another piece of Heritage history found in its back yard. I love finding these old treasures and bringing them back to life!!!

Wow!!

Very nice

Great post KUZ!! I did a similar comparison a couple years ago. My findings were tilted towards the 150 a little more than yours, but still very similar to yours. Beautiful guitars!!!

Wow. Very nice

88…..10.5 lbs 22….8.5 lbs

The Heritage H150 Production of the H150 started in 1988. The first generation of the H150 (made in 1988 and 1989) had a body design that MIRRORED the Gibson Les Paul standard!!! It was rumored that some of the early H150s were actually built with leftover Gibson bodies from when Gibson left Kalamazoo in 1984, that were bought at the auction, bought by the original Heritage Guitar founders. Heritage was threatened with a lawsuit by Gibson in 1990 and Heritage changed the body design….basically changed the slope of the horn cut. ….and the H150 has basically stayed that way to this day!! It fun to see the evolution of a local company like Heritage, the history and the instruments from that historic building over the years! Pictured is a 1988 H150 (L) and a 2022 H150 Custom core (R). See the differences!!!

I just posted 2 really nice ones

What can I say…. its a disease

Lmao

1988 HERITAGE H150 The first generation H150! Pre-Lawsuit Gibson body style. Made for only 2 years, 1988 and 1989. I picked this up off of Reverb last week. Original Schaller bridge and tailpiece swapped out for Gibson Nashville style bridge and tailpiece. This H150 still has its original Schaller Golden 50s pickups. Also has its original pickguard, poker chip, pickup rings, toggle switch, frets and finish. The frets are in great shape for being 36 years old. The whole guitar is in great condition for being 36 years old! No cracks or breaks. It sets up with a low, fast action! It’s a great player!! The tone on this 10.25 lb beast is absolutely amazing! It has a 60s neck carve. A beautiful dark Indian rosewood fretboard.

Thanks Scott!!! It was originally a wrap tailpiece guitar and it was converted to a Nashville style setup at the factory. It’s possible that it was drilled in the wrong spot?

I picked this baby up in Kalamazoo yesterday!! 2013 Heritage H137 KORINA!!! One piece Korina body and neck Rosewood fretboard Lollar p90s Grover Tuners Locking Tonepros hardware Heritage case and case candy CTS pots/mylar caps It has a fat 50s neck. It’s only 7 lbs 3 ozs.

Ive seen them on a lot of early 170s and 140s. But the font on the poker chip is different than the Gibson font.

This was a recent acquisition. Kinda fits the topic. Im sure the new CC 137s will be well into the $2000s??? I only paid 1400 for this LPS and it’s fabulous!!!

Great shot
