brentrocks Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 I never thought I would buy a "newer" Heritage, but after playing a 2019 last week, I have come to the realization that Heritage is stepping up their game! This one is a NOS 2017. It sports the typical features of an H150... One piece Honduran mahogany back and neck SUPER FLAMED out carved maple top Rosewood board with MOP traps Tone Pros locking tailpiece and bridge Seymour Duncan 59s Grovers I made a few changes....just personal preference stuff. Locking Grovers Poker chip Gibson style pickguard and truss rod cover Pointers and gold speed knobs Russian PIO capacitors Switchcraft toggle (hard to believe they still used the cheap Chinese toggles?) This guitar has a beefy 50s neck carve, just like my 2015 H535...I love it!!! The fretwork is absolutely amazing!!! Great, low action! Plays like a dream!!!! Its 9.5 lbs. I normally dont like SD 59s, but this set sounds really good in this guitar! The fit and finish are great! Killer burst too!

davesultra Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 Nice. I may miss the old days, but they are still making some spectacular instruments.
Spectrum13 Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 Perfect top and burst, looks ideal. Agree on all the mods but now the rings don't match the scratch guard. Bummer they don't inlay the headstock.
LK155 Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 Cool, Brently. It's got some tiny dust specks on the headstock, but nothing a 2000psi pressure washer wouldn't take care of.
DetroitBlues Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 Did the Gibby guard fit directly or did you have to make any modifications.

I found some old "3 hole" heritage rings that match a lot better IMG_1439 by brent HENDERSON, on Flickr

Gitterman Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 Id keep that one, Brent. She is beautiful. I also had better luck with the 3 hole pup rings. The gibby rings didnt fit correctly.
