SUPER RARE HERITAGE SNAG

[BRENTrocks]

1988 HERITAGE H150

The first generation H150! Pre-Lawsuit Gibson body style. Made for only 2 years, 1988 and 1989.

I picked this up off of Reverb last week.

Original Schaller bridge and tailpiece swapped out for Gibson Nashville style bridge and tailpiece.

This H150 still has its original Schaller Golden 50s pickups. Also has its original pickguard, poker chip, pickup rings, toggle switch, frets and finish.

The frets are in great shape for being 36 years old. The whole guitar is in great condition for being 36 years old! No cracks or breaks.

It sets up with a low, fast action! It’s a great player!! The tone on this 10.25 lb beast is absolutely amazing!

It has a 60s neck carve. A beautiful dark Indian rosewood fretboard.

Never even seen one of these pre-lawsuits before. Big congrats! Awesome top!

I need one of the custom core models badly. Funny but I think they’re actually a better guitar than the Gibson CS models lately regardless of price. At least the paint doesn’t flake off, lol.

A few years ago Heritage hired Edwin Wilson, who was a big part of the success of the Gibson Custom Shop. He passed away last year. RIP.
