Heritage Custom Shop H-137 - Dog Hair

Heritage Custom Shop H-137 - Dog Hair

Crafted in the hallowed halls of the iconic 225 Parsons Street factory in Kalamazoo, MI, the Heritage Custom Shop H-137 is a direct descendant of the legendary slab-body guitars that defined the sound of rock and roll. This instrument is a testament to the enduring legacy of American craftsmanship, where every detail is meticulously considered. The solid, ultra-lightweight mahogany body provides a rich, resonant foundation, giving the guitar a powerful and focused midrange with exceptional sustain. The premium nitrocellulose lacquer finish in Dog Hair allows the natural beauty and grain of the mahogany to show through, creating a unique and vintage aesthetic that will age beautifully over time. This is more than just a guitar; it's a piece of history you can hold in your hands.

The soul of this H-137 lies in its pair of Heritage's own 225 Classic P-90 pickups. These in-house wound pickups are designed to capture the authentic, bell-like clarity and aggressive bite of vintage P-90s. With a tonal palette ranging from shimmering cleans to a full-bodied, expressive growl when overdriven, these pickups are incredibly versatile and perfect for everything from blues and rock to punk and Americana. The comfortable 50s C-shaped neck profile provides a familiar, vintage feel, while the modern playability features like Jescar medium jumbo frets and a bone nut make it a dream to play for hours on end. This H-137 is a workhorse built for the discerning player who demands a classic sound and a reliable instrument.
