Heritage Custom Shop Core Collection H-150 Guitar w/ Case, Tobacco Sunburst

Player's Perspective

Music Store Live is proud to offer up this H-150 from our friends over at Heritage. Ever since we started carrying these guitars, we've been absolutely floored by the build quality and the tone. This one has all of that in spades. It looks beautiful, is built with meticulous attention to detail, and sounds absolutely heavenly.

Aptly named, the guys at Heritage are all about trying to build guitars like they used to be made. There's a boutique and hand-made feel to these that is refreshing, and yet there's also great consistency with the instruments coming out of their shop. If you're into those late '50s LP tones that became the stuff of legends, then this is pretty much one of the best ways to get that in a brand new guitar currently. The pickups ooze of PAF goodness. Short of building a time machine, we think this is one of the truest recreations we've come across.

Manufacturer's Description

Celebrated as an icon and time-honored classic, the Heritage Custom Core H-150 delivers the energy and excellence unique to guitars from the late '50s.

This guitar is crafted in our factory at 225 Parsons Street, Kalamazoo, and features the finest curly maple top and an ultra-lightweight genuine mahogany back. A nitrocellulose finish with vintage gloss adds a subtle shine and velvety smooth feel to this guitar, and ages beautifully over time. With a redesigned carve top, 17° headstock and 4.5° neck angle, the Custom Core H-150 is optimized for excellent playability.

The Heritage Custom Core H-150 also marks the debut of our signature 225 Classic humbuckers. Designed by our Head of Guitar Research and Development, Edwin Wilson, and wound in-house to our strictest standards, these vintage-inspired pickups are tuned specifically for the Heritage Custom Core H-150 and excel tremendously in both clean and overdriven tones, making them perfect for any music genre.

Other notable features include a ‘50s C-shaped neck profile that’s truly comfortable on the hands, and a locking bridge with aluminum stopbar tailpiece for increased sustain and resonance. The headstock has a holly veneer and carries the ‘Heritage’ logo with a Twin Arrow inlay. Proprietary 3x3 tuners come laser-etched with our ‘Heritage’ logo.

The Heritage Custom Core H-150 is available in three colors, with the option for an Artisan Aged finish. It comes in a newly-designed hardshell case, with a certificate of authenticity and case candies included.
