Heritage Custom Shop 225 Classic pickups deliver PAF tone





The Heritage Artisan Aged Custom Core H-150 is outfitted with a set of their Custom Shop 225 Classic humbuckers. These pickups were designed by Heritage's head of guitar research and development, Edwin Wilson, and were wound in-house. The guitarists here at Sweetwater have found 225 Classic pickups to be the perfect way to satisfy a hankering for vintage-inspired PAF-style tones. Whether you plug into a vintage tube combo or a modern high-gain amplifier, they deliver the goods. The Artisan Aged Custom Core H-150 also features CTS 500k potentiometers and Orange Drop 0.022uF capacitors.





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.
