Product Description

Celebrated as an icon and period-correct classic, the Heritage Custom Core H-150 authentically captures the energy and excellence unique to electric guitars from the late ‘50s — lovingly remembered as the "Golden Era".

Crafted by highly-skilled artisans in the legendary 225 Parson Street factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan — where some of the world's most coveted vintage guitars were made — this exceptional instrument drives a beautiful legacy; built with time-honoured techniques, traditional equipment and premium-quality materials.

In Heritage's own words, a "Custom Shop guitar symbolises our spirit of excellence and continuous innovation. As a tool for making music and a prized work of art, our instruments carry remarkable artistry and allow pure creative expression to take centerstage for a true musical experience."

Key Features

  • 1-Piece, Ultra-Lightweight Mahogany Body — Yields the thick and sustain-rich sound synonymous with classic Kalamazoo guitars, without the cumbersome weight.
  • Premium Curly Maple Top — Exemplary material adds bright complexities into the tonal mix, enhancing top-end bite for superb note clarity.
  • Nitrocellulose 'Artisan Aged' Finish — Old-school, hand-sprayed lacquer allows the instrument to breathe; delivering an airy and responsive sound. This is expertly-aged by Heritage's artisans to simulate years of genuine playing wear
  • Hand-Shaped '50s "C" Neck — Extremely comfortable, period-accurate profile offers a true "time capsule" playing experience.
  • 4.5" Neck Angle — Less acute angle (than that on the Standard H-150) means that the Custom Core H-150 is optimised for the best possible setup.
  • Distinguished Headstock — Features a holly veneer, the classy Heritage logo and a unique 'Twin Arrow' inlay for that extra layer of finesse.
  • Rosewood Fingerboard — Smooth and silky material, featuring a comfortable 12" radius and 22 frets.
  • Jescar Medium/Jumbo Frets — Offer a controllable feel for wide vibrato and pitch-perfect string bends.
  • Heritage 225 Classic Humbuckers — Developed in-house and tuned specifically for this guitar, these prized pickups have a versatile tonal range and excel in any genre or tone imaginable.
  • Custom CTS Potentiometers — Enable smooth control over individual pickup volume and tone.
  • Locking Tune-O-Matic Bridge — Locking design holds down the strings for hassle-free restringing, while the aluminium stopbar tailpiece contributes to the impressive resonance of the instrument.
  • Bone Nut — Low-friction, traditional material enhances sustain and minimises unwanted tuning slips.
  • Heritage-Branded Tuners — High-quality, proprietary machine heads allows for precise pitching and ensure decades of reliable operation.
  • Custom Shop Case — Included with the Custom Core H-150; provides rock-solid protection and comes filled with plenty of case candy!

This is, without doubt my favourite guitar! I have owned guitars since I was a teenager and have had about 100 since then. All the top American brands and many others but this is fabulous! The aged finish is easily equal to another top brands custom shop models. I know because I have one. Looks fantastic, feels just lovely and plays so good!
