I recently became aware of Edwin's passing through another website and I got an incredible sense of sadness knowing that someone who has contributed so much to guitar history, not just at Heritage, but with the other brand he's associated with as well, has passed on. Every time I plug in and play and find joy and happiness through my guitar, I am playing something he was crucial to the development of. His legacy goes on and we are all grateful for that
Dear Edwin, I really enjoyed listening to you at the Gibson Custom Shop in October 2015. Three days were enough to understand what a great person you were and how immense your knowledge was. To commemorate you and your legacy I just bought a 2020 Heritage Custom Core H-150 Artisan Aged DLB. You’ll be missed. R.I.P. my friend.
Just picked up a Custom Core H-150 and I am totally blown away by the looks, playability and tones! My friend has a LP Custom and a Gary Moore LP, and even he says this is a fantastic guitar!
My aged H-150 is the best guitar in my collection and also the most stable, I barely have to adjust it. Thank you for your hard work and all you do for us players.🤓👍
Got mine last week. Tobacco burst. I realize I should have forked up the money for the aged one that way I wouldn’t be so scared of scratching it 😂. Beautiful and a guitar I’ll own my entire life
I recently learned that the Gibson custombuckers were designed by Edwim Wilson and they were based on the pickups he designed for the replica of Jimmy page number 1 . He examined pages guitar in 2003 and he created the jimmy page custom burstbuckers not the match pages zeppelin era tome but to match the tone of pages guitar as it was in 2003 . It had vintage pafs in it but not the original pafs . People complained that the custom page pickups did not sound like vintage page but they were not intended too . They were designed to match the tone of the pafs in pages guitar on 2003 which were not the originals . There is some debate about the neck pickup. In 2009 it was determined that the neck pickup was a 1960 paf which was also determined to not be the original. Gibson examined the guitar in 2003 and because nobody knows when the original neck paf was changed there is a possibility that the original might have still been on there but general consensus is that the change occurred in the late 90s when the in and out of phase push pull was installed. The bridge pickup had been changes several times by then. It has a had a paf then a t top then a Duncan then another paf them another custom Duncan and who knows what now. According to edwim it had pafs when he examined it with at least the bridge not original and mostly likely the neck non original as well and those are the pickups he copied and the Goal was not to produce a vintage material accurate paf clone but to Create a set of pickups that matched the tone of the set in pages guitar at the time and the set he created latter became the custom buckers . So the custombuckers are based on the tone of a particular set of vintage pafs even if the materials are not all identical. Not likely that the pafs in pages guitar had A3 Mags but vintage Mags were different form modern ones so A3 does a good job of mimicking vintage paf era Mags. A3 was used in some early pafs from 1957 but not very many .
What's it mean 'custom core'? Is the body partly hollow,,,,sound chambers, not just solid? I'm really glad you're doing this custom shop idea at Heritage! Thanks!
Hi William, the Core Collection is our standard run of the Heritage Custom Shop. These Custom Core H-150s are not chambered, but are guaranteed to weigh less than 8.5 lbs. You can find out more info here: heritageguitars.com/pages/custom-core-h-150-electric-guitar
@@HeritageGuitarsInc While I love my Custom Core, I have seen many samples over 8.5lbs on Sweetwater and with other dealers. Also, you cannot deck the tailpiece because the bridge is a high Nashville style, not an ABR-1. I wish Heritage would comp an ABR-1 for the custom core I have.
@@carmineanastasio to be fair, the video is two years old, so maybe they found some improvements year over year and part of that meant making sure the bodies have consistent weights between them
Long neck tenon , different neck angle , 8.5 lbs and under on all of them guaranteed light mahogany , Acrylic inlays , different carve on top , different pickups .... Highly flamed eastern hard maple not the soft western maple , low bridge too body
You could call this a Gibson LP copy - but it's made in Kalamazoo at the old Gibson factory. Therefore one could argue that these are more "Authentic" than a new Tennessee Gibson. ! Only Martin and Marshall are original family owned companies. Sadly, Vox, Fender, Gibson, Gretch, Guild are just "names".
Gibson took the name and copyrights with them but Heritage picked up where....literally......Gibson left off. I have both Gibson and Heritage guitars. I love my Gibson LPs but my H 555 30th Anny, H 140 and H 157 are phenomenal guitars in every respect.
I of course couldn't afford a vintage Les Paul so I bought a used 1994 H150 and fitted 70's Tar-Back pickups. I've had the guitar now for over 10 years and it's all I will ever need for a Les Paul sound. A brilliant guitar. ruclips.net/video/tgbTBMQPpL4/видео.htmlsi=3tPrXblgVWLOhBLr
RIP Edwin, thank you everything.
Rest In Peace Edwin Wilson, we have lost one of the golden ones.

Thank you, Mr Wilson !
High quality ad for a high quality product. Very nice piece.
This is my new favorite guitar brand. I can't afford to buy one, but I love it.

Great guy.. Glad he's with Heritage.
That's so cool Ed Wilson is a legend

Welcome back, Edwin!
Heritage Rocks!

Can’t wait to try one! They look like awesome guitars!
Great video! "We provide you the right tools for you to sound like you!"
I love my Heritage CC H150. It plays and sounds amazing. However, I wish the tailpiece could sit flat on the top as mentioned in the video.
I........nnnnnneeeeeeed one of theeeeese!!!!

I can’t wait

Hi Juan, yes the Custom Core H-150 uses the same fret wire as the Standard H-150.
I love there guitars, I hope they win their case against Gibson
Not sure if you've been following it at all, but they won and the case has been dropped.
@American_Psycho11 yeah, I saw that. Super cool. Maybe they will come out with a unique style soon
Dang it you will make my custom lol
I want one in a wicked green stain 🟢
They made real Les Paul’s & still do.
I have the standard H150. The main difference are pickups and the maple top wood right? What else did i missed?

The price!

I'd say it's as equally authentic. Some of the same people, some of the same tools, the same building, were all used... basically the same brand.

@@bluzzjazz do they finish Heritage guitars in a nitro finish or no..?
@@wiseguy9202 I'm not sure about the 140 and 157. They don't have that typical sweet smell of nitro. My H 555 is a nitro finish.

I wished it had taller frets.😢
LOVELY GUITAR MY 'PERSONAL PREFERENCE' WOULD BE TO HAVE THE PICKUP RINGS, PICK GUARD & NUT ALL THE SAME COLOUR AS THE BINDING. JUST SAYING...
If I ever buy a new electric guitar it will be a heritage or a G+L.
I don't know...I thought you were pretty cool back then.
RIP, amazing guitars and pickups. Wonder if he got the cl0t sh0t? So sad regardless.
The carve on the top looks too flat
Who is this knucklehead? It seems like he’s a robot.
