brentrocks Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Heritage introduced the H 150 in 1988. 1988 and 1989 the H 150 had a body cut that was almost EXACTLY like a gibson les paul standard. Well, Gibson didnt like that and forced Heritage to change the horn cut. These 1988/89 H 150s are becoming harder to find every day! I found a great 1989 on Craigslist this week and it arrived last night! It is done up on their Old Style Burst finish. Lovely flame top, 2 piece back, rosewood board with mother of pearl traps. Pretty much stock...Schaller tailpiece, bridge and pups. I upgraded the tuners to Grover locking. The guitar had a ton of haze and fine pick marks, so i tore it down and gave it a buff job...made it look a lot better! This baby is a 9.5 lb tone machine!

chico Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 very nice. love that dark burst. if it were mine I'd change out the tailpiece and bridge too. but that's just me.
Guest HRB853370 Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Damn Brent. When are you gonna write the HISTORY BOOK on Heritage? You are the most qualified person on this forum for such a project. I would LOVE to find one of those. Guess I will call dibbs on this one if nobody else has yet. BTW, how do you find stuff in other states on CL without searching EVERY CITY!
High Flying Bird Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 I had one of these. I think it was an 89'. A buddy found the jacket in a garbage can.

brentrocks Posted January 13, 2013 Author Posted January 13, 2013 BTW, how do you find stuff in other states on CL without searching EVERY CITY! there are search engines for craigslist....i didnt find it, Southpaw did. Thanks Paul! The seller, his name is Nathan, he was going to join the HOC, not sure if he has yet. He lives in TX, but his wife just got hired by Western MI Univ. They will be moving to the kzoo area in July and hope to be joining us for PSP in 2013. I believe he has a Golden Eagle.
