brentrocks Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 Just received a call from my sales associate at Sweetwater! They received their first Dirty Lemon, Custom Core P 90 H150 from Heritage today! I had it on reserve. Should be receiving it Saturday. Here are the Sweetwater pics…
slide13 Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 Very nice!! I really like the top on that one. I have a feeling some day I'll have to get one of these, have wanted to try a P90 singlecut for a while now
golferwave Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 Nice one Brent! - Enjoy! Did they list the weight?

greywolf66 Posted October 6, 2023 Posted October 6, 2023 Congrats , you'll be loving it for sure! Gorgeous! Reminds me of the '55 Custom shop Gibby I just picked up. Long live the Soapies!!

Brent's a strong young guy, he doesn't care about weight! ☺️ It's just us old fockers who can't handle anything heavier than a swamp ash Tele! Nice choice on the Dirty Lemon, Brent. I think that and Almond burst are the best finishes that Heritage does, except for on the semi hollows (They have to be transparent cherry). I'll be curious to hear your opinion of the Classic 225 P-90s compared to Lollars that Heritage has used in the past.
rockabilly69 Posted October 6, 2023 Posted October 6, 2023 That's a looker Brent, I really like that flame and top carve!
FredZepp Posted October 7, 2023 Posted October 7, 2023 That looks pretty incredible, it should be a blast.
Gitfiddler Posted October 7, 2023 Posted October 7, 2023 Brent, I predict that this CC P90 will knock your socks off. Looking forward to your review.
brentrocks Posted October 7, 2023 Author Posted October 7, 2023 Heritage certainly didn’t disappoint with the Custom Core P90!!! Now, Heritage did not just take the Custom Core humbucker model and just route it out for P-90s….they totally redesigned this model (a little birdy told me). The neck shape was cloned from a 1956 Les Paul. The dish carve was also cloned from that same 56. First off, the setup out of the box was PERFECT! I couldn’t have set it up any better. PLEKed to perfection. Low-medium low action. Plays like a dream!!! Finish work and final preparations were excellent!! VOS finish. A glorious flame top! Great burst. One piece mahogany back and neck. Good binding scrape. Buff and sanding is very well done. Neck angle is perfect. Very little neck relief necessary. Only 8.5 lbs. The neck is great feeling 50s carve. Medium shoulder, not super fat. The pickups are Heritage designed, just like the 225 humbuckers. These p90s sound great. The bridge has great clarity and sparkle. But still has a warmness to it. The neck also has great clarity and a hint of sparkle but also has a fat, warm bottom end. The hardware is decent. Lightweight Aluminum bridge and tailpiece. Gotoh tuners. Switchcraft toggle and jack. CTS pots. Orange Drop caps. Amber top hat knobs sans pointers. It shipped in a very nice, heavy duty case with a crushed velvet interior. Included was a really nice gatefold hard covered COA, keychain, final inspection card and Heritage info card. All in all, I’m VERY IMPRESSED with Heritage’s new Custom Core model. It follows suit with its cousin with humbuckers. A beautiful, great playing, wonderful sounding guitar!!!

PunkKitty Posted October 8, 2023 Posted October 8, 2023 I have a Gibson LP that has P90's. I replaced the Gibson pickups with Wolfetones. I have to keep reminding myself of that when I see these. I don't need another guitar. But we all know that song.
