Heritage Standard II Collection H-150 – Tradition Redefined

The Heritage Standard II H-150 is a modern homage to the legendary single-cut design—crafted with traditional workmanship but enhanced with smart innovations that make it a versatile tool for today’s musicians.

Its body is made of genuine mahogany with a carved flame maple top. Thanks to weight relief, it remains comfortably light even during long sessions without losing its characteristic full-bodied tone. The ’60s C-shaped neck sits comfortably in the hand, providing an instantly familiar playing feel.

Tone comes from the exclusive Heritage Custom Shop 225 Standard Humbuckers. These pickups are designed and hand-wound in-house—using 42 AWG plain enamel wire on the neck pickup and 43 AWG poly wire on the bridge pickup, with unpotted butyrate bobbins. Paired with 2.5-inch roughcast Alnico 5 magnets, they deliver an impressively wide tonal range: from warm, singing leads to crisp, cutting riffs. Wax-potted covers protect against feedback at high volumes.

The highlight: modern series/parallel switching via push/pull tone pots. This allows the H-150 to seamlessly shift from powerful humbucker tones to glassy, almost single-coil-like sounds—without the typical volume drop of a coil split.
