NEW HERITAGE DAY....AN OLDIE BUT A GOODIE

[brentrocks]

The first one of these I owned many years ago had a tone sucking Kahler on it. I wasn't impressed.

 

These guitars are uber rare to begin with...and to find one in good shape and a hardtail, its a win/win.

 

Its a 1986 Heritage H127.

 

The seller said he sold it to a guy who had returned it with claims of a "twisted neck".....that was total BS....the neck is perfect. It sets up perfect, low action. The stock Schaller pickups have been replaced with Carvin pickups, but kept all the VARI-PHASE components in original working order!

 

I took off the Schaller bridge and tailpiece and installed Tone Pros locking hardware.

 

While I had it taken apart, I decided to buff out as much of the pick scratches and hazing as possible without completely taking apart the VARI-PHASE system. It cleaned up really nice!

 

So here we have a 24.5 scale, Tele body, set neck, 24 fret, lightweight, dual humbucker rock machine! Only Heritage could have dreamt up such a combination.

 

It doesn't have the original rectangular Heritage case, which is kind of a bummer, but, all is not lost. It was a good price for a great, early, rare H127.

Very cool guitar. The Carvin pickups are decent. Just don't expect them to sound like PAF's.

Very nice!! Get some Dimarzio SDs in that baby and she'll blow you away! I have the D-VIP wiring schemo from Mr Wall if you want a copy.
