rcameron@queens.org Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 Can anybody give me a comparison on H150 neck that is quote "not to chunky but not to thin".... can you compare this to a any Gibson or Fender neck. ??
tulk1 Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 About half-way between a '50s neck (think LP Standard) and a 60's thin (think LP Classic).
brentrocks Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 I THINK YOU WILL FIND THE HERITAGE NECK MUCH EASIER TO PLAY....I HAVE OWNED A SLU OF GIBBYS AND I PREFER THE HERITAGE ON ANY DAY

High Flying Bird Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 RC, I know of two different necks on 150s I have played. Some are thick from fretboard to back of neck and some are thin.
GuitArtMan Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 Heritage necks are hand shaped and therefor there are variations from instrument to instrument. I can't comment on H-150s as I really haven't played many, but I have owned four different H-535s and each had a subtley different neck shape: medium/large D, slim C, slim D, medium C.
Thundersteel Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 I'M NOT YELLING....ITS JUST EASIER TO TYPE THIS WAY brent not to bust your chops but you have ben yelling (upper case) for a while now I agree with Big Bob--please refrain from using all caps! :police:
Kazwell Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 Closest thing I can think of is an LP Studio which has a slightly tapered 59 LP style neck.
rcameron@queens.org Posted July 1, 2008 Author Posted July 1, 2008 hi there....... so is it like an gibson es 335???
jacques Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Just don't worry too much, I'd say There's no way of telling what a neck will do to you (as long as it is a good one, of course) and you will learn to deal with it in due time. I've played quite a few older and newer Heritages and the necks -although they all vary a little- have never disappointed me or any other player I showed my Heritages to. On the contrary! Just get yourself a nice second hand 150 and you'll be in heaven. A splendid time is guaranteed for all.
romk Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Trust Jacques like I did. I mean Heritage takes with soul not specs. Grab one and you will see what it feels like. Frankly it took me months to adopt after very thin modern neck of Ibanez S series.
Peter Cl Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 I agree with Jacques' post and it just occurred to me that the neck is probably what I most love about my 150. The thing has soul. I suppose it's what you would call a C shape. Kinda
pro-fusion Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 My H-157 has what feels like a '60s profile, but maybe just slightly heftier.
rcameron@queens.org Posted July 3, 2008 Author Posted July 3, 2008 Thanks all for your commets... the best advise is wait and see..... but the problem with living in Hawaii is you can't feel the neck before the purchase and that can get one a little anxious when buying something on the internet....!!. I'm bidding on two H150's right now....!! thanks again Roy
