DexLeroix Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Hello all !! I'm Patrick (aka Dex) LOL. Been an admirer of Heritage guitars for many years. Finally purchased my 1st one today !! It's a 1989 H-535, and I am thrilled !! Here's a couple pics from the guy I bought it from. I'll get around to making my own and posting soon. Anyway, glad to be aboard and looking forward to comparing notes and such with y'all. Later
Gitfiddler Posted March 20, 2019 Author Posted March 20, 2019 Hey Dex, your excitement is obvious...and for obvious reasons! That is one gorgeous 535 you've scored. Congratulations and Welcome to the HOC.
DexLeroix Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 Update. I never liked "naked" humbuckers, so I added covers and changed the pickup rings. What do y'all think ??

DexLeroix Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 BTW, I forgot to mention,,,,,,, She has a Duncan JB in the bridge and a Duncan '59 in the neck. Also, on the back of the pickups "JBJ and 59NJ. Gotta love it !!
Einerbe Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 Hey Dex, she's looking better now. You've made a very beautiful choise. Welcome aboard! Ralph
KEITHSPANGLE Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 hi My name is Martin, but I'm known as Keith Spangle on the internet, and I'm a very lucky person. You may have seen a review of a the H-150 & H-137 on guitar.com. You can find it here - https://guitar.com/review/electric-guitar/review-heritage-h-137-h-150/ . The magazine then gave away the H-150 from this review as the prize in a promotional competition in the UK, and I had the good fortune to win it. My other guitars are Les Paul Goldtop classic 2018, Fender telecaster and a 1980s Westone prestige 250 (kudos if you've played on of those). I used to play them all a lot more before the Heritage showed up I'm looking forward to finding out a lot more about the Heritage guitar company, the H-150 and the family of owners Cheers
Gianluca Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 Welcome, enjoy your guitars and feel free to post some picture ;-)
TwangBanger Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 Got a H-137 on order ... expecting it in about a month ... excited! Currently I mostly play Music Man Albert Lee, Strats, Teles, and I do have a Les Paul. Been hankering for the 137 ever since seeing (and hearing) John Bohlinger's gear review on it. I play mostly blues and rock, some country. Intermediate ability, not presently in a band. Really looking forward to this guitar!

Altres Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 It had one previous owner who never gigged it. He bought it from Rainbow Music in Dundee, Scotland and sold it back to them a few months ago. My mother died a few months back at the age of 95 and I decided to buy myself something with money she left me. I think she’d be happy at me being overjoyed with this. ? It joins my Washburn HB-36 and HB-50. It outshines both. Brian
usrname Posted May 20, 2019 Posted May 20, 2019 Hey everybody, I've been eyeing Heritage for awhile now and finally picked up a used H-150 at a GC in my area. After playing a 2017 model at my local shop, the neck was a tad too chunky for my tastes so I found an older model with the thinner neck which is pretty much perfect for me. I called and got the serial number, which turned out to be a 1994 model and was in great shape so I went for it - had to drive an hour to get it but it was worth it! The bridge pup sounded harsh and not too dynamic to me - I thought it had the Schallers but turned out to be the SD '59. So I swapped it out with a Bare Knuckle Black Dog that I had and it sounds great now! I liked the neck tone so I left that one in. It was really grimy too and the fret board was really dry so I cleaned her up with some soapy water and an old t-shirt, oiled the fb with some fret doctor, put some new strings on and it plays and sounds great now! Not sure about the Schaller hardware yet but I do dig the functionality of it. However, may have the nut changed to bone soon. Here is a pic when I first brought it home:
skydog52 Posted May 20, 2019 Posted May 20, 2019 Welcome aboard. You ended up with a classic H-150. Enjoy!

I have a set of Darkmoon Scripture pickups that will go in it.
TalismanRich Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 FWIW, I replaced the Schallers with Alnico Pro IIs. Pickups are the easiest way to change the flavor of your guitar.
