I've been so happy with my Heritage H-535 that I knew it was only a matter of time before I got another Heritage, and I don't think a man can have too many Les Paul style guitars.
I fell hard for this H-150 CC in Dirty Lemon Burst. I mulled it over for a bit and decided I'm not getting younger, and it should be here on Tuesday. I can't wait!

That’s a beauty. I also love my 535 and have contemplated taking the same plunge. Congratulations. I’ll be looking forward to your NGD report.

That’s a beauty Dave. love the fretboard. Is it ebony or just really dark rosewood? since your a Michigander, have you made it up to the Heritage factory yet?

It's a rosewood fretboard. I've toyed with making a trip over to Kalamazoo but since covid I've curtailed my traveling. I'd need to get a room and I'm still kinda paranoid about doing hotels. Sometime...

Dave, that’s really beautiful!
Although I have some Heritage guitars I haven’t really kept up with them since the old guys sold the business. What’s a Custom Core?
With the new ownership and management have they gotten the weight of the H150s down to a more reasonable level? Back with the original owners you had to work to find a 150 much under 10 pounds.

That’s a beauty Dave! I love the color of that burst! How much does she weigh? Thanks, Mike...she's 8lbs 9oz., A pound lighter than my 50th Anni. '68 Black Beauty, and well over a half pound lighter than my Std. Premium Plus.
It isn't weight relieved either, it has a one piece mahogany body. I really dig the Dirty Lemon Burst, it's a great top.

It's the best Les Paul I've played, ever. I'll post some good pictures when I can stop playing it long enough to shoot some and upload them.
But the pickups are really, really nice. The guitar sustains beautifully and has a great chime to it. Plays like butter, it's definitely the honeymoon, but I'm liking the party! I can't find a flaw in the build at all, the fretwork is amazing. I'll try to get some decent clips recorded...Too bad you're a 5 hour drive, I'd bring it over!

Great choice. Kicking myself that I didn't jump at the 535 that was up in the marketplace here recently.

That's a beauty! I have a regular H-150 and H-535 and they're great guitars. I'd love to try one of these! It'd probably replace my H-150 and Les Paul Standard and take me to a higher level of single cut goodness.

Here's a good picture of it. I'll try to do a video or just an audio sample, the more I play it the more I love it. The thing is alive like no Les Paul I've had...I got lucky with this one, it's a keeper.
