Scored a sweet Heritage today

[brentrocks]

It’s an early 21 Custom Core H150. Dirty Lemonburst.




The early CCs seem to be the lightest ones. This one is only 8.5 lbs.




The top on this one is easily in the top 3 best tops I’ve seen on any of custom cores!




The neck is a beefy 50s. .900 at the first fret. Really nice rosewood fretboard.




Sets up great!! These are such great playing guitars!!!




Killer tone to boot!!

I love Heritage. They seem like such quality instruments.

Are there more modern-looking finishes with them? Like just uniform see-through red or something? And do they also have thinner neck profiles like the Gibson 60's? Or are they all 59-inspired?

Also, they come with the same hardware Gibson, do, right? Like Grover tuners and API bridges?

ive definitely played some with 60s necks, so they are out there

They are using pick ups that are wound for Heritage from someone in Nashville. They call them 225 Parsons st. Pickups. They are and alnico 4 PAF clone. They sound OK, it would sound a lot better with a set of antiquitys in it!

If you like the 60s style necks, you would probably want to try out a heritage 150 standard, or a heritage 535 standard, as opposed to the custom core line.
