Description
There's something undeniably special about a guitar that captures the spirit of vintage tone and timeless craftsmanship; the Heritage Custom Shop H-137 in Artisan Aged TV Yellow does exactly that. This model is perfect for players who crave the character of a well-worn classic but demand the consistency and reliability of modern build quality. Whether you're a seasoned pro looking to add a rootsy rock machine to your arsenal or a collector drawn to authentic American artistry, the H-137 delivers with grace and grit. Born in Kalamazoo and rooted in the same lineage that built the golden era of guitar history, this Heritage is more than a tribute; it's the real thing.
Built from ultra-lightweight genuine mahogany and dressed in an artisan-aged nitrocellulose finish, this guitar feels alive before you even plug it in. The solid body construction and premium hardware-like the Tune-O-Matic bridge and aluminum stopbar tailpiece-create a platform for clarity, resonance, and rich, singing sustain. Its 225 Classic P90 pickups are wound in-house with care and intention, voicing everything from sparkling cleans to raw, expressive growl; they're ideal for blues, rock, punk, and Americana, or anywhere your playing needs to cut through with honest tone. CTS pots and a Switchcraft toggle round out a no-compromise electronics setup built for the stage and studio alike.
The '50s C-shaped neck is a dream for players who favor a vintage feel without the bulk. Combined with a 12" radius and medium-jumbo frets, it strikes the perfect balance of familiarity and playability, whether you're laying down rhythm parts or bending through lead lines. Add in the excellent tuning stability from the Heritage-engraved 3x3 tuners, and you've got a guitar that's ready for long sets and late-night sessions without skipping a beat.
Visually, the TV Yellow finish is pure attitude-retro, raw, and full of personality. Paired with the Twin Arrow headstock inlay and iconic Heritage logo, every detail reinforces the guitar's sense of history and soul. This is more than a finish; it's a statement.
At Cream City Music, we're proud to offer guitars like the H-137 Artisan Aged; it's a rare mix of character, comfort, and killer tone. Whether you're chasing vintage mojo or looking for an American-made classic with road-ready reliability, this Heritage delivers in full.
