Heritage H-155

Millennium H-155. I think these are the standard features for this model: small maple semi-hollow body, NO F-HOLES, ebony fingerboard, big block inlays, gold hardware, individual volume and tone controls for each pickup, selector INconveniently located on the lower horn. This one has interesting figuring on the top and Heritage's "burnt amber" finish (this might be called "rootbeer" by some - It's a slightly reddish brown.) Comes with a higher level TKL case with an arched top and covering that somehow feels thicker than my other TKL cases. This one has the very fine HRW pickups but I see many that have Duncan Seth Lovers.

The HRW pickups are a pleasant alternative to PAF type pickups. These are clear as a bell and on the bright side compared to most PAFs. The neck pickup isn't nearly as muddy when soloed as PAF-type pickups. Output is about the usual.

I can compare this guitar to several relatively high end instruments that I have owned (including PRS Custom 24, Gibson ES 335, Heritage 535, Les Paul, ES 135, Hamer Monaco Superpro.) The fit and finish are second to none - I can find no flaws on it at all. This guitar has better action than any guitar I have ever owned. My 335 is a close second. The neck profile on this Millennium seems to be exactly the same as my '83 ES 335.

This guitar is every bit as durable as any guitar I have owned. It has a very solid feel to it.

I won't rate this as I've had no reason to contact Heritage.

I've been playing guitar for 40 years. I have a mess o' guitars - Own and have owned several in the same general price range as the Millennium. I love the build quality, HRW pickups, small semi-hollow concept with no f-holes, incredible action. It's also pretty light. There are two design elements that I don't like: The switch on the lower horn - When playing seated, you can acidentally switch from the bridge pickup to the both position. By tilting the guitar a little forward, the switch contacts the top of your thigh. Second: Heritage could have giiven the back of this guitar a clean look by mounting the the wiring harness through the bridge pickup cavity - like a 335. Instead, they have a removable control cavity cover like on a Les Paul. On the other hand, this makes changing pickups much easier. In all, this is a great value on the used market.

made in Kalamazoo MI
22 frets
laminated
typical 2 vol 2 tone - the pick up selector switch is on the lower cut-a-way - still takes some getting use to - it would be nice if it were moved I guess
Custom HRW
passive Humbuckers - came with Duncans but we switched 'em
Grovers
single-cut-a-way w/solid top "chambered" with no F-holes
TKL case

play blues & zydeco and it works great - good jazz guitar too with the addition of the HRW pickups the guitar has a very full sound.
One could use this for any Les Paul or ES-335 gig

came ready to rock out of the box - I did change the original bridge to a Tone Pros TP-6 - The Shaller bridge didn't have much bite

all of the playing that I've done this instrument seems to be built with the attention to detail that should make it a keeper for quite a few years. Matter of fact I can't wait to hear what this instrument sounds like in a couple of year of constant use

these folks are a breeze to deal with...right on Ren!

been at this professionaly since 1968. Yes, I'd like to have a couple more Heritage guitars. If something happened...I'd try and find one...maybe have them make one for me. I played a Gibson custom LP that is chambered. It was a great axe...but $3000 more - I thought the LP to be a bit thicker and chunky feeling

Body- Les Paul shape but larger with a rounded lower horn (335). body is hollow except for over the bridge. Flamed maple top and curly maple back with mahogany sides. Body is fully bound. Paint is cranberry burst.
Pickups- Two humbuckers heitages own.
Hardware- Grover tuner all hardware is gold
Neck- Mohagany with ebony fretboard and mother of perl block inlays. Neck and headstock are fully bound.
It is you typical ornimented guitar. Looks like a larger version of a Les Paul custom. The flame is beartiful as are the inlays and the paint.
Gave it a 7 because it is a typical HH setup.

Great sounding guitar. On bridge pickup it sounds very jangly clean and tight when distorted.
Neck Pickup is full when clean and super saturated when dirty.
It just sounds good through a good tube amp

It came set up perfectly. I like the neck, it seems to be smaller then a LP. Flame is beautiful. No flaws I have seen but nothing is perfect. Heritage has been building guitars with better quality then gibson for a while. The pickup selector did have a short so that will lower the score.

Appears great but it is only 4 months with me so cant say

Heritage has been great. I have been getting guitars through Jay Wolfe and he is very helpful

Over all I love this guitar. The first few days I had to get used to the hollow sound. Once I adjusted I really enjoy it. I hate to take it from the house since it looks so nice. I choose heritage because it is basically a gibson with better parts and workman ship for half the money.
