brentrocks Posted November 25, 2021 Posted November 25, 2021 So Danny goes out and gets himself this beautiful new dark cherry burst (I call it a bourbon burst) Custom Core H150....and I'm happy for him, don't get me wrong. And i love my dirty lemon CC H150...its beautiful and plays like a dream.... So i walk into Kalamazoo GC today....and there sits a DCB (BB) Custom Core H150, very similar to Danny's!!! AND they have ALL THEIR HERITAGE AND HARMONY inventory prices SLASHED!!!!!! I looked at the price and I'm like....this is a no brainer!!!! I couldn't believe how much was knocked off!!!! It was like 35% off!!! PLUS 48 months no interest!!!!! So I'm the proud new owner of a DCB..Bourbon Burst Custom Core H150. Thanks Danny!!! LOL LOL!!!! She needed some serious setup work....the neck had WAY too much relief and the intonation was way off. After a lil TLC...she was ready to rock!!! And rock, it does!!!

Jaguarguy Posted November 25, 2021 Posted November 25, 2021 beautiful looking guitar - love the color!
Gitfiddler Posted November 25, 2021 Posted November 25, 2021 Congrats on yet ANOTHER gorgeous Custom Core H-150! Are guitars coming out of the factory with poor setups or is this a cold Michigan winter issue?

rockabilly69 Posted November 25, 2021 Posted November 25, 2021 Holey Moley, that dark cherry looks killer. GREAT SCORE Brent! How do the two guitars differ in tone?

How do the two guitars differ in tone? Thanks man!! I made major mods to the lemon burst (caps, pickups, tuners) to achieve a warmer, less bright tone. It currently has a Seymour Duncan antiquity in the bridge and a 59 in the neck. The DCB I have decided to leave alone. The 225 pickups have that sparkling top end, like a good PAF is supposed to. But very articulate and also having good bottom end as well.

davesultra Posted November 25, 2021 Posted November 25, 2021 Did they have any other CCs available, or any other H-150s?

I would call before you make the drive. They had a dirty lemon custom core and 4-150 standards and one artist in aged cherry 535 And at least 4 harmonies Talk to Matt Gullo, he is the manager and also a good friend of mine! Tell him I sent you and he will hook you up
davesultra Posted November 25, 2021 Posted November 25, 2021 Hmm.. I’m beginning to think I may have to make a road trip real soon. ?

I told all my local friends about these drastic markdowns! So I would plan on going first thing Friday morning if you want to have a snowballs chance in hell of getting that last Custom core that they have in stock, which is a dirty lemon burst with a monster monster top!
brentrocks Posted November 25, 2021 Author Posted November 25, 2021 But they also have a couple really nice 150 standards with great tops as well! And the 535 artisan aged is a beautiful guitar
zguitar71 Posted November 25, 2021 Posted November 25, 2021 Well it must be true, 2 is better than 1. A few topics ago I said it would be great if Heritage could make a guitar that would compete in quality with the best PRS and Collings make. It looks like that is happening.
ElChoad Posted November 25, 2021 Posted November 25, 2021 God, I hate you. ? I went to my local GC last week. It reminded me why I haven't stepped foot in there for about 5 years. The inventory was crap and so were the employees. Nice purchase.
HANGAR18 Posted November 26, 2021 Posted November 26, 2021 We invited some people over for Thanksgiving last night, which included a couple of buddies of mine. After supper we had a jam session (and a show & tell session) in my new jam room area of our new residence. I started off by bringing out my two best guitars and one of them was my new Heritage Custom Core. But of the two, THAT is the one I actually played when I wasn't playing drums. Eventually I would up lugging 4 guitars and two basses down there and had a chance to show off my recently acquired Blistertone amps which my buddies had never heard of before.
