KALAMAZOO, MICHIGAN; OCTOBER 28, 2021 – Heritage Custom Shop (heritageguitars.com) is proud to announce that the Core Collection H-150 Plain Top is now shipping globally.
Heritage Custom Shop represents the highest level of American craftsmanship and innovation – founding principles that have defined Heritage Guitars since the company started making musical instruments at 225 Parsons Street, Kalamazoo in 1985. Seamlessly merging tradition with simplicity to deliver a refined look and timeless tone, the Heritage Custom Core H-150’s elegance is unmistakable. The guitar is also available with the Custom Shop’s Artisan Aged option, a treatment applied entirely by the hands of master artisans using proprietary techniques.
“The Heritage Custom Core H-150 with figured top is one of the top tools in my tonal arsenal. I can count on it to sound and play great under any circumstance, on stage or in the studio. Heritage consistently knocks it out of the park with their finishes too — it’s really exciting to see the model now offered with a Plain Top option, which is killer,” said guitarist Myles Jasnowski.
As part of the launch, Heritage Custom Shop invited Heather Baker (video here), Alec Lehrman (video here), Will Brahm (video here) and Myles Jasnowski (video here) to trial the guitars and experience the quality and tone for themselves.
