Description
The Heritage H-150 P90 Standard II in Cherry takes a familiar single-cut formula and gives it the character and immediacy of a pair of P90 pickups. Built at the historic 225 Parsons Street factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan, it draws on Heritage's long connection to American guitar building while incorporating thoughtful updates aimed at today's players. This version also has a particularly bold look. Unlike transparent finishes that showcase the figuring underneath, the Cherry finish is opaque, giving the H-150 a clean, saturated appearance while the curly maple remains an important part of the guitar's construction and tonal recipe.
Under that Cherry nitrocellulose gloss finish is a curly maple top paired with a genuine mahogany back. The mahogany body incorporates weight relief to make the guitar more manageable during longer rehearsals and gigs while retaining the substantial feel and tonal foundation players expect from an H-150. The maple and mahogany combination provides a strong platform for the P90 pickups, making this guitar a natural fit for blues, rock, roots, alternative, and other styles where touch sensitivity and midrange presence are essential.
The genuine mahogany neck features a 60s C profile measuring approximately .847" to .922", giving it a comfortable shape with enough substance to feel supportive without becoming cumbersome. Its rosewood fingerboard has a 12" radius, 22 Jescar medium jumbo frets, and traditional trapezoid inlays. A 24 3/4" scale length keeps bends and vibrato comfortable, while the bone nut provides a solid contact point at the headstock. Heritage tuners, a Tune-O-Matic bridge, and Stopbar tailpiece complete a straightforward hardware package designed around reliable tuning and intonation.
The real personality of this H-150 comes from its pair of Heritage Custom Shop 225 Standard P90 pickups. Wound in-house with 42 AWG poly wire and Alnico 5 magnets, these pickups are designed for a fat, articulate response with tight lows, clear highs, and the punch that makes a good P90 so useful. They can clean up for more restrained rhythm work or deliver plenty of bite and authority when an amp is pushed. Two volume and two tone controls provide independent adjustment for each pickup, with CTS potentiometers, .022uF capacitors, and a three-way toggle completing the electronics.
Visually, the opaque Cherry finish gives this particular H-150 P90 Standard II a different personality from Heritage's burst and translucent options. The figured curly maple top is intentionally concealed beneath the finish rather than displayed through it, resulting in a more direct, traditional solid-color appearance. Chrome hardware, a plastic pickguard, Top Hat knobs, and a cream switch tip keep the rest of the presentation familiar, while the updated headplate veneer with Heritage logo adds a refined finishing detail.
At Cream City Music, we think the H-150 P90 Standard II is a great choice for players who want the substantial feel of a classic single-cut guitar with the added openness and attack of P90s. The combination of a maple and mahogany body, comfortable 60s C neck, in-house Heritage pickups, and practical weight relief makes it equally appealing as a working stage guitar or a studio instrument. The opaque Cherry finish gives this example an especially clean look, and the included Heritage Premium Standard Case rounds out a guitar that is ready for regular use from day one.
