I Told This Company I Didn't Want To Keep This $4,000 Guitar. Here Is Why

I think Joe Bonamassa said” you have to decide if your a player or a collector “

My Patrick James eggle is 7 lbs. mahogany body and neck maple cap lp. The Macon!!! Check these out!!

It don’t make it a bad guitar because you prefer a different fret height. Heritage will make whatever you want anyway. Ish

This instrument as demo'd had it been refretted?

That thing looks and sounds excellent!! Wish I had the bucks for it!!

That Heritage is a beautiful guitar. If I was in the market, it would be in the top.

Sold most of my Gibsons, save one with P90s, and bought a cheap Agile.

I had an Agile years ago and thought they were great for the $s. They still are. Real maple cap, good tuners, ebony board, nice binding, etc. Put some nice pickups in it and it's a great guitar.

Why would you want chamber all my Les Paul’s chambered I sold I find heavier guitars sound better. All my 70s Gibson heavy as F** sound better than the chambered ones they made for a while ? I wonder if I’m missing something. ? I need to go down this rabbit hole now lol thanks a lot

The weight is part and parcel of a LP's "charm or authenticity.......

Nice sounding guitar.

I can't tell you how many guitars I have passed on, because the frets were too small. I love jumbo frets, and I can't stand playing the low frets.

Buying a H150 is to keep it forever….

Some folks especially if they started on older guitars don't prefer railroad tie frets. The catch for Heritage us the modern preference for buying guitars you haven't played like a mail order bride.

it's a strange thing about frets..
not only the height and width counts, but also the shape..
and it depends on your personal style and on your personal fingers :)
regarding Les Pauls I love my 2016 Tribute Gold Top Gibson, it has the perfect Frets (for me).. pretty tall, that makes bending and vibrato more easy for me... I once had a Gibson Midtown, that sounded great, but had more low frets... maybe great for Jazz guys who slide much upon the fretboard, but not my thing... it's all personal!

The low frets are why they were called fretless wonders.

Try a medium width, tall height fret job. Makes both gibson and heritage play really nice.

I absolutely like that color and design of the head stock , the sound is nice and warm amazing guitar

I have the same guitar in a different finish and it beats every Les Paul I've owned from Epiphones to the Custom Shop Reissues. There's a reason why it's the one still hanging on my wall

I agree 100% I love the look and its awesome but I hate small frets - I would need to refret out the box.

What is that metallic red/orange guitar to the left???

I would like to know more about the electronics. Cavity pictures, etc

I hate jumbo frets. Give me the narrow short vintage frets all day everyday.

#1: Gibson Les Paul players don't usually like light weight LPs, it changes the tone and feel
#2: pick guards on Les Pauls look and feel like ass.
#3: It's a Les Paul copy, you could buy a nice used one for $2,500. Why buy a Les Paul copy unless you're buying it directly from a luthier who copied the 59 specs perfectly?
Just my 1.5 cents.

Heavy, thick neck, awkward controls and old technology.
Play this guitar, then play a $400 Schecter Omen Extreme and you will understand.

New Standard 50s also has miniature frets, fingerboard finger rubbing fiesta...I hate the fact I will lose original look but I must refret it and probably keep it forever.

Love the balance of the P/Us.

Low like Fretless Wonder low? And what about Nibs?

I've been telling anyone that will listen how much better my Heritage is than my Gibson. It stays in tune WAY better. I like feeling the fretboard, so the short frets don't bother me. My only "issue" is the weight, mine is not chambered; I don't think anyway as its just a shade under 9 lbs. But I'm a big guy and I switch between it and a strat half the time, so I just deal with it... lol.

Stunning guitar. How do humbuckers compare to gibsons

I've got one of those vietnamese emeral IYV les pauls and it's got a wider cutaway too, but you can't really tell unless you put it next to a gibson les paul standard. it's definitely easier to play though

I have a custom core H150 in the limited Pelham blue, and without a doubt, it’s the best damn guitar I have ever played. EVER!! I use it for cleans, I use it for metal. It is absolutely perfect!!

I don’t get why Gibson & Heritage think we want small frets. I’m 55 years old. I grew up playing Yamaha RGX’s and Ibanez RG560’s. I cut my teeth on jumbo fretwire & I’m sick of certain companies refusing to acknowledge this. If Heritage build a guitar with Jescar Evo gold jumbo fretwire. They can have my money. I don’t get why they put these little staples on guitars aimed at people who are now Gen X. We like jumbo frets.

Sounds almost as good as the vintage Gibson Epiphone I have and looks nice as well

the guitar is gorgeous but i would probably put vintage tuners on

Heritage are amazing guitars 👏

I never understood why Gibson bleeds the red into the binding on the neck. I just looks like piss-poor QC to me.

What happened to the white Parker which used to hang on the wall?

I had a coustum Les Paul lite in the 90's .
Sorry i got rid of it.
Any one i knew who was a shredder loved my guitar.
To this dsy my brother in law who is a drummer says he has yet to see another les paul like mine in a transparent blue.

I am from Detroit, Michigan. I love your content & I would love to have one of these solid body guitars from Heritage. I swear it's a personal goal of mine after spending 8 weeks in U of M hospital. I'm thankful I learned how to walk all over.

The swirly finish looks weird. Kinda like they just didn't run it through all the polishing grits.

Also disagree about the pick guard. It breaks up the line and creates a weird shape instead of a simple triangle.

I played the non-custom shop-style H150 and it was a nice guitar, but something about it just felt off compared to my Les Paul.

Buying a guitar (at least partially) based on its potential resale value is like proposing to your girlfriend thinking that she's going to divorce you in four years. Buy the best guitar you can afford and let the chips fall where they may.

I don´t need a gibson headstock , but I want a nice looking hadstock...

Sweetwater is great

Iirc, Gibson 1950's LPs were very low fretted guitars, most players would get them refretted to play the way they wanted to, as in the 60's and 70's 1950's LPs were a dime a dozen.

The pick guard...I hate pick guards, BUT I really didn't notice it had a pick guard until you pointed our how it follows the contours of the guitar body. Way better look then Gibson ;ick guards.

That does sound amazing

$500 to have someone throw chains at your guitar,ding it all up

The pickguard and especially the cutaway ruin the look way more than the headstock, at least for me. That being said, if I was looking to spend $4-7k on an LP I would much sooner get a Navigator over either a Gibson or a Heritage.

I know how you feel, exactly ..
I have and have had gibson les paul/ guitar’s that I played for less than two hours total because I was afraid to put oils from my hands into the fretboard.. I was concerned about having it show ware pn the frets.. I was concerned about getting skin from my fingers when I play with my fingers on the body that could put tiny tiny scratches in the finish when I wipe it off.. I was also afraid to touch the bridge, tailpiece, pick ups with my fingers, putting hand oils and acids on them, causing tarnish to the finish..
I was afraid to take them out of the case in case I might bump them. I never took them on a gig… as a result, I bought several epiphone les Pauls that I didn’t have a lot of money invested in. And those are the guitars that I play. The gibson‘s are more or less investments that I hope will go up in value… they don’t feel any different from the gibson’s. They don’t sound any different to me, and I’m not considering getting an insurance policy rider that covers them like I have on my gibson’s…
about 10 years ago I had a special order fender Stratocaster that my buddy since high school in the 1960s Bought right after he came home from Vietnam in the 70s. He said, if I live to get home, I’m buying myself a new Strat.. So he bought a special order stretch sort of a royal blue with a white pick guard, maple neck, and he had fender, locking tuners installed..
He never even opened an amplifier. He just always wanted a brand new Strat.. I don’t think he played it for more than an hour total. He just wanted to earn it.
years later, he ran into financial problems, mainly because he met a single mom through a dating site with two older kids. She left him after the youngest one was off of his health benefits plan at work. Stuck him with a big Mortgage for the big house he had to buy five for his ready-made new family, he had to sell his car that he loved, he had to sell his motorcycle, and he was going to sell his Stratocaster to a coworker for his 11-year-old daughter to take a lessons to learn how to play the guitar..
I screamed at him on the phone, “you’re selling that guitar to me, not to that child”..
so I bought the guitar. And it was so perfect in the original case, it still had the original strings on it, and I was afraid to play it, because it was perfect…
I finally convinced myself that it was useless to me, because it was just for lookin—not for playin— ended up, swapping it for a Gibson, Les Paul classic, that was also perfect. I ended up not playing that for about six years… until I swapped it for a Gibson, Les Paul, classic Ebony, P 90s. Now I’m not playing that one, especially that one, since it is all black, glossy, and scratch free…
it’s just not worth having an expensive guitar when Les or Guitars are good enough..
By the way, my newest addition is a D Angelico guitar with pick ups that switch from being humbuckers to P 90s.. it is without a doubt, not even close, the most beautiful guitar I ever owned. Is a satin blue, shaped pretty much just like my gibson 335 excepted this guitar has no F holes.. No holes at all in The semi hollow Body, like a 335, not completely hollow..
It is also perfect, but I’m determined to play this one

I love everything about Heritage EXCEPT that awful truss rod cover.
