Description
If you've ever dreamed of holding a piece of electric guitar history in your hands, something that feels like it was pulled straight from the golden era of Kalamazoo, the Heritage Custom Shop H-150 Factory Special is ready to make that dream real. Built for serious players and collectors alike, this stunning Tiger Eye single-cut isn't just a nod to the past; it's a full-on revival of it. Inspired by the classic LP-style electrics that defined a generation, the H-150 is handcrafted in the legendary 225 Parsons Street facility, the same building where so many of the originals were born. It's a tribute to tradition with the power and precision of modern luthiery.
At the heart of this H-150 is a tonewood formula that's stood the test of time: a genuine mahogany body topped with premium maple, all dressed in a warm, vintage gloss nitrocellulose finish. The Custom Shop's 225 Classic humbuckers, designed by Edwin Wilson and wound in-house, dish out thick, harmonically rich tones with a distinctly PAF-style growl; they respond beautifully whether you're feeding a clean amp or pushing a vintage stack. This guitar isn't just about nostalgia; it's stage- and studio-ready, with a locking Tune-o-matic bridge, aluminum stopbar tailpiece, and Heritage-branded tuners that ensure rock-solid intonation and tuning stability from downbeats to encores.
The 60s C-shaped mahogany neck strikes a sweet balance between chunky and fast, making it ideal for blues, classic rock, and anything in between. A 12-inch ebony fingerboard offers smooth, articulate response under the fingers, while the Plek'd medium-jumbo frets and bone nut elevate sustain and playability across all 22 frets. An optimized neck pitch with a 17-degree headstock angle and 4.5-degree neck set adds just the right tension for vintage-style snap and resonance without sacrificing comfort or control.
Visually, the H-150 Factory Special pulls no punches. The deep, dimensional Tiger Eye finish is utterly captivating, while the holly headstock veneer, pearl "Heritage" logo, and Twin Arrow inlay bring a subtle but unmistakable air of exclusivity. This guitar doesn't just sound and feel like a classic; it looks the part too, down to the smallest detail.
The Heritage Custom Shop H-150 Factory Special is more than a guitar; it's a handcrafted reminder that timeless design and tone never go out of style. If you're ready to own a piece of the Kalamazoo legacy, Cream City Music is proud to offer this extraordinary instrument-a bold blend of yesterday's soul and today's precision, wrapped up in a finish you'll never stop staring at.
