Wayne Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 Yesterday I picked up my H-150 from the factory. It is amazing! The tone is bright, with great depth. It is beautifully constructed as well. I've wanted a solid body in addition to my 1968 Gibson es-330 for a while. About a year ago I visited Heritage for a tour, and then would drop in every few weeks to play the 150s on display. Pete Farmer and Ren Wall patiently talked with me many times and gave great advice and insight about the construction of guitars. They were always gracious and enthusiastic. I also met a number of the employees who were also committed to excellence, and friendly. Bill Page was especially helpful. When I was ready to order the guitar I became acquainted with Gary Hines who had insights into tone and specs. Now I have a guitar that is made the way I envisioned. It is everything I hoped for, and it plays wonderfully. I thank everyone who crafted the guitar and guided me in my decisions about the components of my 150. Heritage is doing excellent work.
Gitfiddler Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 You did good, Wayne! That's a gorgeous vintage burst 150. Welcome to the HOC.
Heritage1970 Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 Nice! Congrats and welcome to the Heritage Family!
bobmeyrick Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 Vintage Sunburst may well be my favourite finish. That's a beautiful guitar.
DetroitBlues Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 Wow! That is one helluva monster top! Congrats!
Spectrum13 Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 So, half the time you ogle that monster top and half the time you get to play it. win win.
rwinking Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 Two Questions for you: Are yo over 50? and What is your next heritage guitar going to be?
skydog52 Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 Another fine example from 225 Parsons St. Congratulations!
Cassady Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 Wow! That's a beauty. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Yes...new phase of life and a way to celebrate our last tuition payment...which was the reason for the wait. Pete asked me the second question when I picked up my 150. As I've heard, "The right number of guitars you should own is one more than you have right now". For now I am content and grateful for what I have.

Millennium Maestro Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 I love the top, HolyRoller if it was ordered in December that is when the factory would assign a serial... Most likely an AG (17)
