Celebrated as an icon and time-honored classic, the Heritage Core Collection H-150 delivers the energy and excellence unique to guitars from the late '50s.
The Heritage Core Collection H-150 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 Core Collection H-150 is optimized for excellent playability.
The guitar also marks the debut of our signature 225 Classic humbuckers. Designed by Edwin Wilson, and wound in-house to our strictest standards, these vintage-inspired pickups are tuned specifically for the Heritage Core Collection 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 locking Tune-O-Matic bridge can be swapped for a Vibramate with Bigsby B7. 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 Core Collection 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.
FEATURES
Body: The guitar typically features a single-cutaway, solid body design, similar to the iconic Les Paul model from Gibson. The body is made from high-quality tonewoods, which can include mahogany for the body and a carved maple top, offering a warm and resonant tone.
Finish: The finish is described as "Tobacco Sunburst," which is a classic and attractive finish option for electric guitars. Sunburst finishes often feature a gradient from a darker color around the edges to a lighter color in the center.
Pickups: Heritage guitars often come with a variety of pickup options, including humbuckers and P-90s. The choice of pickups can significantly influence the guitar's tone.
Neck: Heritage guitars typically feature a set neck construction, which means the neck is glued into the body. The neck is usually made of mahogany or similar tonewood, with a rosewood or ebony fingerboard, depending on the specific model.
Hardware: The hardware on Heritage guitars is typically of high quality, with options for different types of bridges, tuners, and controls.
Case: The guitar usually comes with a protective case included. This is important for safely transporting and storing the instrument.
Overall Quality: Heritage guitars are known for their craftsmanship and attention to detail. They are often considered to be on par with some of the best custom-built guitars.
