skydog52 Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Can someone help me. I ordered a H-157 last year with HRWs. I have other Heritages with HRWs and they always had a dot on selector switch. This one doesn't. Can you tell what pickups are in this guitar without taking them out? Thanks HOCs
Dick Seacup Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 If they have four screws they are Schallers or HRWs. To be sure, you would have to pull the pups and look for the HRW by Rendall Wall sticker on the back.
backline Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Generally I find guitars with HRW's to have a small brass washer at each corner of the surround.
tulk1 Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 You could check the sticker in the access plate. But I do recall a post about the sticker being wrong, too. Best bet is to pull a pup on the next string change. They're mounted to the rings so you only have to take the 4 corner screws out.

She's about due for strings.Thanks everyone. I can't believe I didn't spot this before. Like a deer in headlights just staring at the beauty of the thing.
Kuz Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 And she shall be named, "Brown Sugar." Or "Brown Tar Heroin" because that baby is addicting after the first time of playing her!
skydog52 Posted June 12, 2009 Author Posted June 12, 2009 Changed strings today and they are HRWs. Sounded like them but you never know. I'll paint a dot on the switch
Gitfiddler Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 Changed strings today and they are HRWs. Sounded like them but you never know. I'll paint a dot on the switch Sky~ Make a call to Heritage (early in the day) and ask Ren if he will ship you out an 'official' white-dot toggle switch. By the way, that is one gorgeous git ya got!!
tulk1 Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 OSB. My absolute favorite color for a guitar ... ever!!! Glad we got that HRW thing worked out. Grovin' on the ones in my Millie NFH. Hope you like yours.
