Guest HRB853370 Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 After alot of careful thought about this, my vote would be my 155. Its light, the body is small enough to hold comfortably both sitting and standing, it has a sound that, to me, is like a mix between a 150 and a 535. You can coax lots of sounds of this guitar. Its the swiss army knife in my stable.
JeffB Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 I only have an H150. I played it last night after having ignored it for a while. Its a beautiful sounding guitar, rich sounding. Plays wonderfully. I sat just noodling and marvelling at the sounds. It was nice to do that. Nice to get re acquainted
y2kc Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 I have three Heritage guitars, all h-127's. I think that is what Rambow's are called. This last one is a killer. I have had it for a couple of months now I guess and can't put it down. It can't do everything but it turns out Heritage and Kenny Rambow knew what I was after and have delivered in full. I have not even pulled the others out of their cases. The Seth Lovers and ebony board are doing it for me. Today I am going to use a very weird amp with it. It is a converted 6v6 based RCA intercom from the 50's. This amp is fun. I have a volume and a tone control to work with and teamed up with a full-tone pedal and a 2-12 cabinet. This amp has been sounding great with a G&L Asat Classic and SC-3 and today it gets buckers for the first time. I got the amp off e bay for $100.00 (n.o.s. looks new including bakelite knobs) and had Roger at Minstrel Music convert it to a head for guitar. I wish Roger was still there. This amp sings in a great voice all it's own. I am thinking of building a new single 12 cabinet for it. The amp is about 15 watts. Heritage,G&L and R.C.A. , not a combination you hear everyday, y2kc
RhoadsScholar Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Would have to be the 5-5-5 with coil split HRW pickups
big bob Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Right now the stat Dlx gets the nod, but I play them all regularly. I will take the stat Dlx and the 357 to band practice today!
brentrocks Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 The Alex Skolnick H 150...loaded with THROBAK pups. The neck pickup does smooth jazz, as displayed by Alex's demo at the Heritage booth a couple weeks ago. The bridge will do the classic rock, hard rock.
Thundersteel Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 My 555 w/Seth Lovers did everything for me. I guess I need to find another semi-hollow body!
big bob Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 My 555 w/Seth Lovers did everything for me. I guess I need to find another semi-hollow body! I play your 555 every day.
Guest HRB853370 Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 I play your 555 every day. I think you should return it to him. Its only right.
Blunote Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Toss-up between the Millie Ultra Standard and the H535. Both are loaded with HRWs.
Thundersteel Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 I play your 555 every day. I think you should return it to him. Its only right. He DID say it was mine, after all!
barrymclark Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 I don't have an 'everything' Heritage. I only have the 575 and while it does 95% of what I want to do, it doesn't do metal/hardcore. haha. Well, it would but I had better not stop playing! haha.
yoslate Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Lucky enough to have played a bunch of real-world gigs, since finding Heritage. I've had the pleasure of playing out with the 150's, 535, and now the Super Eagle, all great in differing applications. "Do it all"? No question...the 535 with Seths!
GASguy Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Would have to be the 5-5-5 with coil split HRW pickups. ^This Golden Amber Triple Nickel HRW's baby!!! ^This ^This
bigsbytp Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Well, only one? Eh? well, so, then. one....were you talking to someone here at the house about why one needs more than one guitar? Are you on our side? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, in kind with the Bill Clinton Do not Ask, Do not tell policy: Roy Clark + 535+ 555+ Prospect = 1 of a kind....with that VIP circuitry like Rhoads Scholar and GASGuy suggest. Meaning: It would have to be a semi hollow body with a block behind the pick ups, VIP would cover most of it..... Those seem to blend in to any type of music. BUT YOU BETTER NOT TELL ANYBODY ABOUT THIS AT MY HOUSE. J
Billgelder Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 My H 150 with coil split does must of the work, but I have the 535 ready to go just incase I'm feeling funky.
kidsmoke Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 I wish I had to wrestle with a choice of one among many, but I don't. Likely my answer won't change though, when I do. 535 with Sheptones.
gnappi Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 After alot of careful thought about this, my vote would be my 155.

Its the swiss army knife in my stable. I have a LOT of guitars, Mnn maybe 30+? (note to ex-wife, yes I DID lose count) and I don't make extremely laudatory statements too rashly about any of them. I LIKE all of them, and find qualities in all of them that many people may not appreciate, BUT... my new Prospect is an absolutely amazing guitar. After "the honeymoon" is over I'm certain this one will remain one of my all time faves. As a first for me, I even Emailed the PO to tell him if he had not replaced it he is going to have a hard time finding one to replace it with!
