An Introduction to Heritage Guitars


Destined to become the centerpiece of your collection





Simply put, the Custom Core H-150 P-90 is a gorgeous solidbody electric guitar. And its playability is second to none. Its premium maple top sports a sleek redesigned carve, while its ultra-light genuine mahogany body is lightweight and comfortable. And everything is covered with a light nitrocellulose lacquer finish. The Custom Core H-150 P-90 features a comfortable '50s "C" shape; a long tenon ensures exceptional sustain and response. The neck is capped by an easy-playing rosewood fingerboard with a bone nut and medium-jumbo Jescar frets. You also get an optimized neck pitch, with a 17-degree headstock and 4.5-degree neck angle, plus a locking bridge and Heritage-branded tuners for rock-solid stability and intonation. Beyond that, a holly-veneered headstock with a pearl "Heritage" logo and a Twin Arrow inlay gives this guitar a distinct aura of exclusivity. The Custom Core H-150 P-90 is destined to become the centerpiece of your guitar collection.





Heritage 225 Classic P-90 pickups





Designed and wound in-house, Heritage 225 Classic P-90 pickups epitomize articulation and tone, tackling shimmering cleans and roaring distortion with equal assurance. These premium pickups equip the Heritage Custom Core H-150 P-90 with a versatile sonic signature: in the neck position, you get a smooth, fat, rich clean tone that's perfect for jazz and blues. In the bridge position, you get the raucous snarl and hard edge of a classic P-90, which sounds great in front of a driven tube amp. Guitarists at Sweetwater find these pickups offer the perfect blend between vintage character and modern reliability.





A tradition of quality handcrafted guitars





For 68 years, 225 Parsons Street in Kalamazoo, Michigan, was home to one of America's premier guitar manufacturers. In 1984, the company moved its operations. The next year, desiring to carry on the tradition of handcrafting electric guitars in Kalamazoo, three former senior employees who possessed a combined 84 years of guitar-building experience founded Heritage, buying space and much of the original equipment in the iconic factory. Heritage has since established its own tradition of quality by handcrafting guitars with flawless playability, tone, and visual appeal. Everybody loves vintage guitars. But if you're after a real-deal classic without the vintage markup, Heritage guitars are the way to go.
