⚡ FOR SALE: 2022 Heritage Custom Shop Core Collection H-150 Plain Top – Dark Cherry Sunburst – PRISTINE MINT CONDITION ⚡
This isn’t just any single-cut guitar.
This is the pinnacle of Kalamazoo craftsmanship from Heritage Guitars – the original Gibson factory crew who kept the flame alive after the big move to Nashville. The Custom Core H-150 Plain Top is Heritage's flagship Les Paul-style masterpiece, blending vintage '50s specs with modern playability, and this 2022 example in mesmerizing Dark Cherry Sunburst is as flawless as they come. If you're seeking that authentic Golden Era tone without the inflated vintage prices or questionable replicas, look no further.
✨ Condition: 10/10 Mint – Truly showroom fresh. No dings, scratches, fret wear, or signs of use whatsoever. Kept in a smoke-free, humidity-controlled environment, with plastics still on the pickguard and control cavity. One-owner gem, never gigged or abused.
🎸 Key Specs & Features:
- 2022 Heritage Custom Shop Core Collection H-150 Plain Top
- Stunning Dark Cherry Sunburst nitrocellulose lacquer finish (deep, rich cherry hues with subtle burst fading for that classic vintage vibe)
- Ultra-lightweight genuine mahogany body (around 8.5 lbs – sustains for days with natural resonance)
- Premium plain maple top with cream binding for a clean, elegant look
- One-piece mahogany neck with '50s rounded profile – chunky yet comfortable for all-night sessions
- Bound rosewood fingerboard with 12" radius, 22 medium-jumbo frets, and acrylic trapezoid inlays
- Heritage 225 Classic humbucker pickups (Alnico V magnets, unpotted for dynamic, blooming PAF-like tone – warm cleans, gritty overdrive, and harmonic-rich leads)
- Hand-wired electronics with CTS pots, Orange Drop capacitors, and 3-way toggle switch
- Optimized design: 17° headstock angle, 4.5° neck pitch, long tenon neck joint for superior tone transfer
- Hardware: Locking Tune-O-Matic bridge, stopbar tailpiece, and Heritage-branded tuners for rock-solid stability
- Includes original hardshell case, certificate of authenticity, hang tags, and all paperwork
🔥 Tone & Playability:
Just received a pro setup from a certified luthier (10-46 gauge strings, low action without buzz, impeccable intonation). This H-150 roars with that legendary midrange punch – think creamy blues sustains, articulate jazz chords, or snarling rock riffs. Volume knobs clean up beautifully for versatile dynamics. It's the closest you'll get to a '59 Burst's magic, crafted by the folks who built the originals.
Heritage owners rave about these Custom Cores outperforming modern Gibsons in build quality and value – and this Dark Cherry Plain Top is a rare find in untouched condition. Perfect for collectors, studio pros, or players who demand heirloom-level instruments.
Serious buyers only – this one's a keeper.
Don't miss out – Heritage's Custom Core series is selling out fast, and examples this pristine vanish quickly. Grab your slice of Kalamazoo history today! 🔥🎸
History of Heritage:
For 68 years, 225 Parsons Street in Kalamazoo, Michigan, was home to one of America's premier guitar manufacturers. In 1984, the company moved its operations. The next year, desiring to carry on the tradition of handcrafting electric guitars in Kalamazoo, three former senior employees with a combined 84 years of guitar-building experience founded Heritage Guitar Inc., buying space and much of the original equipment in the iconic factory. Since then, Heritage Guitar has established its own tradition of quality by handcrafting guitars with flawless playability, tone, and visual appeal. Everybody loves vintage guitars. But if you're after a real-deal classic without the vintage markup, Heritage Guitars are a great way to go.
This guitar is professionally set up and dialed in for optimal tone and playability. It has low action with no buzzing or dead spots and is an absolute joy to play. It has been deep cleaned and detailed. All guitars will arrive looking and playing great. The frets look new and the fingerboard was cleaned. (Unfinished Rosewood and Ebony boards get treated with Fret Doctor - a proprietary all natural oil that is the best on the market) It has brand new strings, the action was adjusted, the intonation is spot on and it plays excellent. All the electronics work flawlessly.
**** We stand behind every guitar we sell and have consistently delivered quality that beats most people expectations, earning us a reputation for quality that is unrivaled. Simply put “good enough” is not good enough for The Guitar Dude’s standards. We try and make every guitar be at its absolute BEST to deliver on our promise. We take great pride in what we do and we are always trying our best.
