santellavision Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Hey all! I'm a newbie to this forum, but this is my 3rd Heritage H150. Just wanted to share it. The first chord and I knew this baby was a keeper. Rings like a bell acoustically and tears it up cranked. Since added some RS Guitarworks/Fralin Tru-60's - amazing pickups!
zookroo1 Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Whoa, nice! That's the perfect finish for that guitar. Did you buy it new?
skydog52 Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Welcome aboard. That is really a nice looking guitar. Love the finish with that grain pattern.

At least you didn't say we'd have to shave our heads. Altho' nature and age has taken care of most of that for me already.

santellavision Posted June 9, 2009 Author Posted June 9, 2009 Sorry it took so long to get back to you all. I got it used from a friend on the Hamer guitars forum. The RS Guitarworks/Fralin Tru-60's are the best I've tried. (And I've tried almost all high-end boutique sets) These are pretty low output as are many real PAF's. (I've owned 3 vintage PAF guitars) These Tru-60's are as close to that sound as I've found. Extremely clear and detailed. Will not drive your amp very hard. Use a pedal or let the amp distort. Another thing I love about these is the neck pu just works. So may neck pu's are too dark or woolly. This one matches output and tone much better to the neck. I use both all the time and never think twice about out. That sold me. As far as the guitar, I've done a few other mods since that pic. (I never intended to keep it original, it's my #1 player) I changed the original shaller tuners from metal buttons to pearl. Took off some weight and looks really nice too. (More pics to come) Changed out the bridge/tail to Tonepros. Replaced the pu rings to normal Gibby style (less holes) And installed the RS Guitarworks Reissue wiring harness too. I've had a few friends play it and they all said it's the greatest guitar they've ever played. I just smile! I hope I won't be banned from the forum for all the changes! haha.
