I’d like to order one exactly like that. Is that possible? How much?

We Michiganders, and more importantly us folk from the mighty Kazoo have always been proud of our Gibson heritage. So when they left it was like a lifelong love just not coming home one day. Ohhh the grief. So when Heritage Guitars started up in the very building we had a love affair for, for so long. I gotta tell ya, I figured it would just be a flash in the pan. Heritage Guitars has been a standout and we love them.

Billy Squier's "Don't Say No" album is such a gem! "Lonely is the Night" sounds great on your Heritage!

My favourite musical guitarist ever. Tim's video's are different from the standard ones and full of good advice and killer tone. A good measure of a great teacher is the minute you start watching Tim, you're reaching for your guitar. 👍

Totally agree! Love that he is smiling any time he's playing.

This old guy can play. What an absolute monster. I’m more of a metal head myself. Have been for 40 years or more. But watching Tim play is just a real treat. Great precision, dynamics and sheer joy. Well done sir. 👍🏻

Everytime I see Tim's playing it humbles me, the confidence in execution and the on-pointness is just so satisfying to see. I wonder what kind of aura you can feel when you hear and see him play in person in front of you.

You emanate happiness when you play. Your eyes smile - even when they are closed.

Tim's delight is contagious and reminds me why I play the guitar. Lovely observation dude.

I just watch Tim's videos to see him smile. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

When I got my first guitar in 1984, the guy in the shop played an open E chord on it and it chimmed like a bell. I was blown away! I love that sound and although I don't really like Les Pauls, that guitar has a really great tone that I've rarely heard - well done, hope you keep it all your long life!

Man...I wish I could find as much enjoyment in anything as Tim seems to have playing guitar. He is a beast and always so inspiring. Thanks for these videos Tim!

What differentiates Tim Pierce, Rick Beato, Ask Zac and Five Watt World is the musical intellectual appeal. Going beyond endless guitar and gear reviews, I’ll admit they serve an important purpose if done correctly versus hawking a particular brand, your channel gives insight into the working world of being a musician. Even this review focuses on what the tonal possibilities are available and why to a working musician it fills a void. Thanks for all you do.

That Heritage literally sounds AMAZING 🙌. Love my H150 Deluxe

I never saw anyone bang on an electric guitar body like that. That was the coolest! It really does ring like a piano!

I once got to play an original 1959 Les Paul goldtop (owned by Laurence Juber from Wings). It sounded like... heaven, or as close to heaven as a magical guitar being played poorly by a drummer can sound.

So glad Heritage still exists and is going strong! To me It was a fantasy brand that already had the reputation of being the "real" LPs and that was 25years ago!

Tim, as always it is an absolute joy to see your honest delight in playing guitar, as well as your unpretentious approach to gear reviews. If I was a guitarist I’d be on your courses in a flash. Cheers from a retired drummer in Scotland.

Not to mention their archtops!

Every Heritage I’ve ever played has been exceptional. I have a H-535 that is incredible and has been a good sales pitch for Heritage. As several friends that have played mine have went out and bought one. Plus Heritage has amazing customer service

Thank you, Tim -- great guitar, and appreciate the glimpse into the factory.

The problem being Tim Pierce...Every guitar sounds incredible in your hands

I worked in a repair shop for a couple decades, a period over which I've played almost everything known at one point in time. It's an interesting thing when it comes to Les Pauls, weight relieving/chambering and the desire to have them sound as close to vintage Bursts as possible. Most people will go with a modern model without weight relief because the original ones didn't have it, and they're trying to get close to the tone and response. I've played a number of 50s Les Pauls,; several 58/59/60 bursts, along with a few Gold Tops, and the one quality that was consistent among them that isn't nearly as prevalent with them after they returned from being discontinued in the 70s right up to modern ones, is the resonance and attack. "Liveliness" is a common description that, while a bit vague, none the less fits. There's a bounce and punch that people tend to equate more with Fenders or semihollows than with LPs. Personally, if I were looking to get a modern model to fill in for a vintage one, I'd start by trying out chambered, or even weight relief before non-weight relieved, that's going to get as close to that liveliness. Another thing is that the older ones tend to be markedly brighter than modern ones, and out of the modern ones it's the chambered bodies that are brighter. I'm not completely sure why that is, but if I were to guess I'd say that with so much of the mahogany mass removed, the maple top plays a larger role in the collective tone. I've also noticed that the lighter the guitar, the brighter their acoustic tone is. The resonance between the neck and the body is the foundation that everything else builds off from, and it's also the hardest thing to change later on (if it's possible at all). Pickups, pots, tone caps, hardware, etc? These are all things that can easily be replaced later on. The wood? Not so much.

@@EduFirenze in the spirit of transparency, I was biased against chambered early on myself, and for the very same reason I stated above. It wasn't the first time I was wrong about a piece of gear because I was viewing it that way. I remember being really put off by the Marshall Silver Jubilee because of the clipping diodes they use in the lead channel. I found it…unnatural for a tube amp.* Now it's my all time favorite Marshall model. *In my defence, Marshall had used clipping diodes in a couple other amps that I had heard and really didn't like. The nailed it on the Jubilee though

Beautiful looking & sounding guitar !! Congrats Tim !!

I love everything about that guitar and the cherry on top is the way you play it! Thanks for the Billy Squier too.

I always look forward to your videos Tim. Thanks

Love the tone Tim, that guitar is a beauty. That intro “ Lonely is the night “ Billy Squier, was originally played on a Tele with a humbucker in the bridge. I was at a live gig back in 1976, your new Heritage nailed that tone.

I always felt that Neville Martin got it bang on, he said what Heritage ought to be Gibson, is what G&L was to Fender. And they needed to get their quality and product up to G&L standards. I think they might finally have done that.

Gorgeous guitar Tim. Congrats.

Tim you are the most laid back person I’ve seen on the KZreads 🤘😎🤘you RAWK!! Thanks

I picked one of these up over 20 years ago straight out of Kalamazoo MI, It has a crazy good sound. I have more than 10 other guitars and this is the best sounding one. The Tele is the second.

that thing sounds huge! love it.

Listening to you rip in the beginning of the video just shows how much you love the guitar. Also, not a bad way to start any video.

This is a GREAT video... truly next level 😻

Awesome! Cheers from Brazil!

Great video Tim! I have a Heritage H-150 custom core plain top and it's a great guitar. Having one with a 1960 neck would be very cool!

your content brings pure joy;. im a complete cynic usually but you're so genuine. thanks

Tim you could make anything sound great you have such great feel natural feel on the guitar smooth no matter the style you nail it.

Tim, I own a Heritage H150 honeyburst. I think I bought it back in 2002. I bumped it once while intoxicated and playing (sober and grateful since 9-12-16). It rang like a bell. I immediately knocked on it softly with my knuckles to satisfy my curiosity. Of course, each time thereafter I knocked on it, it rang out. Impressed, I showed all my friends who'd come over to watch me jam. VERY COOL BROTHER. FURTHER, I WANT TO EXPRESS EXTREME GRATITUDE AND RESPECT TO YOU FOR YOUR SINCERITY IN MUSIC, YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS, AND OF COURSE YOUR TALANTS!!! THANK YOU SIR!!!!!!!!!!!

Great instrument! Having the excellent Mr. Pierce playing it doesn't hurt of course.

That's definitely an amazing sounding guitar. I've done all types of mods on my 2 Les Pauls and have gotten closer to the sound I'm trying to achieve but it still doesn’t have that awesome bell-like dynamic sound that yours has. A couple of things I've learned along the way is that no 2 guitars (especially Les Pauls) are the same. The mods (pickups, pots, caps, etc) definitely help but the gear you play through, particularly the amp, is a big factor in the guitar sound as well.

That’s why I love great strat pickups for this is exact reason the ability to go from clean to overdrive with only a pick

Another great video that only Tim can create!

Congrats! I had my dream Les Paul made by an English luthier called Sid Poole in 1996. Still have it, amazing guitar.

Nice video, Tim. Now I really want a Heritage!

The Don't Stop Til You Get Enough playing is sublime!

My word, the soloing! Love the guitar, too.

I loved my gold top, the sound out of it was heaven and the vibe it carries, well you understand. Heritage are fantastic!

Love Your enthusiastic playing and with a smile 😂

While Tim is just a fantasist. player, but I love his vids because he just exudes joy when he plays.

Love the finish

Tim, you should have mentioned that Kalamazoo factory is where all the famous 1950s Les Pauls were built that players dream of playing. Heritage is much closer in soul to those 1950s than Nashville, even though there is a slightly different headstock shape.
