Heritage Custom Shop represents the highest level of American craftsmanship, innovation and quality that can be found in a musical instrument. Celebrated as an icon and time-honored classic, the Heritage Custom Core H-150 delivers the energy and excellence unique to guitars from the late '50s.

This guitar is crafted in Heritage's factory at 225 Parsons Street, Kalamazoo, and 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 lb. 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 optimized for excellent playability.

The Heritage Custom Core H-150 also marks the debut of the signature 225 Classic humbuckers. Designed by Heritage Guitars' Head of Guitar Research and Development, Edwin Wilson, and wound in-house to their strictest standards, these vintage-inspired pickups are tuned specifically for the Heritage Custom Core H-150 and excel tremendously in both clean and overdriven tones, making them perfect for any music genre.

Other notable features include a ‘50s C-shaped neck profile that’s truly comfortable on the hands, and a locking 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.
