My Honest Heritage H-150 Review After 2 Years of Ownership

ngl I'd love to get a gibson for the name. But when playing any heritage side by side, it consistently felt and sounded one price range above Gibson.

Link to the Jam track would be good bud.

I just got the same guitar, and I'm not a les payl guy, but the price was right. I love this one. Great vid. I also would say the tone is like a big tele

Do any of the 150s have a 60s style neck?

Lovely guitar and playing. I happened to try one of these with p90s today. Wow. I always love P90s. I bonded instantly with it. The build looked great.

I understand that people say a good Les Paul is like a beefed up Tele, your cleaner demos REALLY do not demonstrate that, in the slightest

Too much compression

That Fuzz Tone Demo made my hair stand on end. Totally amazing to have such clarity across all strings. My fuzz tones and generally distortions always get so muddy and BLAH sounding. Could be so many things wrong, but well done sir.

Are these H150s really heavy??

I live in the Mitten (Mich) and had the opportunity to tour the Heritage factory 2 years ago. I have to say , it was just amazing to be able to watch the process and see the folks in the shop hand build the instruments! My wife and I were on our way to Chicago to buy an amp, but all we could talk about was our tour of the K Zoo Heritage factory. Hopefully, a custom core 150 gold top in my future.

Shoulda never left Kalamazoo.

Great video, thanks, I love my Heritage Artisan too! But who is the „Swedish guy“ you mentioned? Danish Pete. 😂😂😂

I just don't know how these guitars aren't prized for what they are. When Gibson moved from Kalamazoo, some of the old Gibson personnel got together and bought the old factory and its equipment and started Heritage Guitars.

Heritage is a great story of how a new business can be born out of the wreckage of poor corporate decision making by utilizing exiting infrastructure and highly skilled craftsmen and craftswomen. I am so happy they were able to this - best of luck Heritage!

There are definitely quite a lot of “bad words” said about Heritage’s latest ownership if you look for them (they just don’t get the publicity anything Gibson related would do) and in particular the way they managed relations with some of their very long standing employees, many of whom were either let go or resigned at that time (this was around 2016).

Each tone sample where phenomenal! I sure would love me one of these for many reasons. These days we discover many other companies excelling! Many of these build better guitars then Gibson & Fender whom have dominating. Yet ( I included), we snubbed these brands simply because of not being a « Gibson or Fender ». When i purchase a guitar, brand names and esthetics are the last thing I care about. i now focus on how it feels for my fingers, ears and my bank account. Playability, feel and tone will get me to make my decision to buy or not.

Have you tried a Tokai? Guitaristas loved his, Cordy seemed somewhat cooler?

it's a standard guitar aged by their custom shop - so does that make it a custom model or would that be something else entirely?

The beauty of it is that the crowd only follows Gibson. This makes Heritage used H-150 very reasonable. And having owned Gibson Les Paul's and a Heritage, the Heritage is a superior guitar.

Love how even the dark tones come through clean without getting all muddy

Ughh that headstock is so off putting…

I like that they improved the old Gibson headstock design.

Yeah bro you definitely got a superb deal !!! Congratulations on N amazing guitar. I went through my phase of Gibson over heritage. The Gibson is what I wanted my guitar to look like but the heritage played like a dream and stayed in tune straight out the box and inspired me. I had my H535 and 335 for around 6 months and finally let the Gibson go and it was worth the wait both of my heritage’s are Relic like yours and prices have gone up! Heritage definitely deserves more recognition and they are top notch!

Heritage all the way! They’re awesome

The Gibson Les Paul's and the Heritage 150s are both excellent. Made in USA for me. BTW Heritage used a few different humbuckers, mine are screamers.

I’ve got a 1996 H140 love it, they’re how Gibsons should be made

I have one of these. I also have several Gibsons, old and new. I’ve been a Gibson fan for 40 years and have always loved them. Since getting the Heritage I’ve had to admit that the Heritage is a better guitar than all my Gibsons. That wasn’t an easy thing to do! It plays better, sounds better, feels better and holds tune better. I even have older guys saying things like ‘that’s the sound I remember, where did you get that guitar’! The price was also sensible, not the eye-watering numbers Gibson seem to charge these days. The Heritage seems to be what many people think of when they think Les Paul but never quite get there with a Gibson, especially the newer ones. So, from my experience, if you want a Les Paul that plays, feels and sounds like they used too, is made as well as anything, is actually affordable and has that ‘this is how they were supposed to be’ feel to it, get a Heritage. They really are what you can actually call ‘authentic’……..

This came to me feed. Straight away subscribed. Great videos! On Gibson/LP alternative, please try Edwards, its an ESP sub-brand. Its MiJ and mostly affordable.

Great video! Subscribed!

I love Heritage guitars but they are out of my price range right now.

newer gibsons crush, standards are like custum shop of a few years back. nuts can be a bit high but better than too low lol. but it sounds like u found a great gem!
