The Heritage Custom Shop Core Collection H-150 delivers the inspiration and sound that made electric guitars from the late 50s icons and classics.

 

This special guitar is made in the legendary factory at 225 Parsons Street, Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA and, depending on the model, has a top made of the finest flamed or “plain” maple. The body is made of ultra-light, genuine mahogany, giving the Heritage Custom Core H-150 a total weight of less than 4.0 kg despite its solid construction. A nitro lacquer finish with vintage gloss gives this instrument a velvety soft playing feel and allows it to age authentically over time. With a newly designed carved top, 17° degree headstock angle and 4.5° degree neck angle, the Heritage Custom Core H-150 is optimized for excellent playability.

 

Other features include a C-profile neck from the late 60s, which is very comfortable in the hand; a locking bridge and an aluminum stop tailpiece for more sustain and resonance. The headstock has a real wood veneer and bears the ‘Heritage’ logo with a mother-of-pearl Twin Arrow inlay. The 3L/3R tuners are laser engraved with the ‘Heritage’ logo.

 

The Heritage Custom Core H-150 is available in various colors, optionally with an “Artisan Aged” finish, which gives the guitar a look as if it had been played for decades. It comes in a newly designed Custom Shop Deluxe wooden case with certificate of authenticity and case candy.
