Some say Heritage is the original Gibson. If you believe that, than I offer this:

Seymour+%2526+Seth.jpg


My 1993 Heritage H-150 (B-Stock):
Contains prototype SH-55 pickups, hand-signed by both Seymour Duncan and the late Seth Lover, here seen in a publicity shot for the Seth Lover pickup that was eventually used in a print advert with the headline "Master & Mentor."

The guitar came to me from Heritage with no pickups, so these are the original pickups.

Sorry Evan, as much as I philosophically agree with that, believe that it is one righteous LP, and can't deny the whole mojo of it being on a magazine with Seymour...

It's a Heritage and will have to compete against Genes Shulte and others in the LP copy category. The fact that my gloss is broke is not is influencing this decision. I would not change my mind even if I woke up tomorrow and found out I was a SmokinLesPaulologist. But you don't know that for sure - so go ahead and fix my gloss if it will make you feel like you did everything you could.

PS - There will be no handicap for B stock. My Norlin #1 is a second as well. Not a dang thing wrong with it!

I think my LP has seen a few too many cosmetic changes (maybe... new knobs, switch, rings, and pickups)... but regardless this is a category I'm not even going to bother with... not enough love for the color green to bother. Ha!

Shameless plug I know, but here's my 2, not the best photo's but I love'em.... Page model and '57 R.I. I will add that we all just last weekend travelled from the West Midlands UK to a place in Scotland, 40 miles north of Aberdeen... so 474 miles both ways. It was a nine hour drive to do a Motorcycle club gig... tiring but awesome and my rig was rockin'!
