Heritage Custom Shop Factory Special H-150 with P90 Midnight Blue

The Heritage Custom Core H-150

Celebrated as an icon and time-honoured classic, the Heritage Custom Core H-150 delivers the energy and excellence unique to guitars from the late '50s. Crafted in Heritage's factory at 225 Parsons Street, Kalamazoo, this guitar features the finest curly maple top and an ultra-lightweight genuine mahogany back. Overall, the Heritage Custom Core H-150 weighs less than 8.5 lbs. A nitrocellulose finish with vintage gloss adds a subtle shine and velvety smooth feel to this guitar, and ages beautifully over time. With a redesigned carve top, 17° headstock and 4.5° neck angle, the Custom Core H-150 is optimised for excellent playability.

This Factory Special H-150 features the brand’s in-house 225 Classic pickups, designed by Edwin Wilson, head of guitar research and development. These pickups offer vintage-inspired tones, combining the PAF-like clarity and punch of the bridge humbucker with the gritty, powerful character of the neck P-90. Whether used with vintage tube amps or modern high-gain setups, the 225 Classics deliver dynamic, expressive sound, making this guitar a versatile choice for players seeking both classic and contemporary tones.

Other notable features include a ‘50s C-shaped neck profile that’s truly comfortable on the hands, and a locking Tune-O-Matic bridge with aluminum stopbar tailpiece for increased sustain and resonance. The headstock has a holly veneer and carries the ‘Heritage’ logo with a Twin Arrow inlay. Proprietary 3x3 tuners come laser-etched with the ‘Heritage’ logo. It comes in a newly-designed hardshell case, with a certificate of authenticity and case candies included.
