And congratulations to you and Marg! A letter forthcoming. I save photos to my iPad then resize when uploading so I can post on here.

A few years back when I bought my 58 reissue Tele from Sweetwater they forwarded me shop pics of the guitar (about a dozen) from every angle, front back and sides. Maybe Clint can do that for you!

Ever since I took the Evelyn Woodhead sped reddin' course, my reddin' has im-PRO-v'd 100%, and also... com-PREN-shun has increased won-der-FULL-y. I ricommend the Evelyn Woodhed Sped Reddin' Course to all my frens out there, and you tell 'em that you heard it here first... on Roller Derby
yoslate Posted June 13, 2021 Author Posted June 13, 2021 Well...it arrived yesterday. I have a lot of plates in the air, and I really don't want to give this instrument short shrift. Pictures will be a challenge, as this computer's iPhoto function is dead. I'll have to make other arrangements for that, I'm afraid. But I'm writing up a comprehensive review, which requires spending time I don't have right now with the guitar. Just imagine a little spinning beach ball here, for the time being. Doing the best I can....
Gitfiddler Posted June 13, 2021 Posted June 13, 2021 Rob, can't wait for your Custom Core review! Hopefully, images too.

That will be a while, my fun money bank was emptied with my Jaguar explorations, but I could sell some guitars that I'm not using:) Like you, I can't wait for the Professors review of this guitar. The guy has quite the grip on the English language, so you just know it's going to be entertaining, yet totally free of blowing smoke!
rockabilly69 Posted June 13, 2021 Posted June 13, 2021 Good to see everyone waiting with baited breath I find it funny that this Edwin Wilson, a guy that spearheaded probably the best changes in the G I B S O N custom shop, is also doing the same thing for these upper end Heritages. If this guitar kicks some serious ass he will be forgiven for working for the Devil, hahahahahaha. I can't wait to get the lowdown on this axe!

Take as much time as you want. There is an AC-15 and Blues Jr. here for you to use.

Given how busy I've been, that's really tempting. And your photographs of Heritage guitars are definitive (that one of the 137...!), and this one's a looker!! But the kids are coming in from Reno tomorrow for a long-ish stay. We haven't seen them in a year-and-a-half. Lots of catching up to do!
ej150 Posted June 14, 2021 Posted June 14, 2021 Can't wait to see the pictures of yours and how you like it! I have one on hold at my local shop. It's amazing all around. Best playing Les Paul I've ever played (and I've owned quite a few Gibby CS).

FYI...Around here, if anyone calls a Heritage H-150 a "Les Paul", the maximum penalty is to say 3 Hail Heritages while kneeling towards Kalamazoo. Consider yourself warned.

I have the pics on my iMac now, and am waiting on instructions from the resident photo wiz (or anyone, actually) on how to resize them to post. They're too large. I've recently sent two Custom Shop Lesters packing in anticipation of this one. Saving my observations for a review that'll be too long, which I hope to post soon.
yoslate Posted June 14, 2021 Author Posted June 14, 2021 Well.... With a little help from Kuz, there are these....
yoslate Posted June 14, 2021 Author Posted June 14, 2021 ...and these. Hope this'll take care of things until I can put the review together. And FYI, the color in these pics is dead on to the real thing, advertised as tobacco burst. In slightly less light, the red almost disappears into brown, a chameleon. Now that I have this sussed, I can take shots of specifics, if anyone has a request. But remember, a comprehensive review is forthcoming. I'll try to be as objective as I can, but I'm over the moon with this thing!
Gitfiddler Posted June 14, 2021 Posted June 14, 2021 Wow, Professor, that H-150 is something special! Play it in good health.

rockabilly69 Posted June 14, 2021 Posted June 14, 2021 Hey Rob is that a True ABR Bridge that screws directly into the wood. It sure looks like the locking one by Faber...
