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

[@BrianLanders]

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.

[@DennyJiosa]

Tim, sounds and looks AWESOME! I love my H150 ....I have the same PU's in mine and it's so open and clear. GREAT guitars!

[@phowell333]

I think the weight relief contributes to the killer tone of this guitar - especially the note separation.

[@PeterKKraus]

It does sound very good. If I could play guitar , I'd want a '59 reissue -Tobacco Burst and a Bigsby, but NOT made to look old. I would source like 100 year old smallish slabs of reclaimed maple and mahogany and send them in to Gibson to use.

[@brianwood7237]

Had to laugh when Tim tore into the lonely is the night riff... the intro to that song and the main Riff to that song is my 'tester' for just about every electric guitar/amp combination I try out 🤟

Congrats on the new guitar Tim. It sounds great. I also liked the Standard 150 that you played second. I might just have to look into buying one. Good video Tim

[@stanesposito2664]

Sounds amazing! So many 3D sounds, especially love the two pickups together. That finish is great too, as is your touch. 👍👍

[@edwinstovall3334]

Happens so often. The best Strat ain't a Fender or a Squier, the best LP ain't a Gibson or an Epiphone, etc. Reminds me of G & L, the latest actual Leo Fender designs for guitars. These days, though, the guys to watch out for are overseas. I just got a neck through for under $200 shipped to the door. Yeah, unplayable on arrival, but really needed minimal tweaking to bring to playability. Not through setting it up yet, but it's already a lot of fun -- and the sustain is so extreme that the guitar sounds like there is a compressor on it when there isn't. No, it's not a beginner's guitar, but no beginner bought it. It's too easy these days to gain skills through things like KZbin videos to be afraid to burn a few bucks on guitar fixer-uppers. What to you think Mr. Van Halen did? BEFORE the vids, too!

[@Cultofpersonality09129]

Cool story bro!

[@stevedahl]

The 90s Hamers are example of your idea

[@Annunaki_0517]

Tell us what guitar you bought that sounds so good for $200!

[@edwinstovall3334]

@Annunaki_0517 It's a Bullfighter neck-through that I got on Amazon. I think it was a Black Friday deal. I really like the way it sounds, but I figure this thing to be best as an upgrade platform. Do with it what you will. I'd been wondering about active pickups for (REALLY) cheap. I think the best thing about this axe is that it has a mechanical nut, which is more easily messed around with than one you have to cut. Might be a while before they get around to any more deals, but patience is the only thing that works here.

[@nathanbouton6700]

To be honest, this is the factory that made all the original 58 and 59s, so the name changed, but the tooling and employees didn't.

Thx Tim , love your videos and lessons ❤.

[@morganlake41632]

We have the same tastes - I want that ultra vulnerable bell AND the DEEP wall of sound ...Can you tell what kind of guitar I'm using ? At least the brand in my music videos? When the guitar gets mixed in with the band - I'm not sure a PRS is much different than a Les Paul....I the same musician's hands ...I've learn some really wonderful things from your observations....This video showed me why I now never chose the bridge pick-up - and why Hendrix only used the neck pick up.

[@ro307805]

Years ago while working for Sprint i was at their telecom site which is next door across the tracks from the Heritage factory. I had a 1938 Gibson f hole style acoustic guitar with me that had a shimmed neck and didnt play well. It was all i had at the time though. I went next door and knocked on the door with the guitar in hand.a guy opened a little square window and asked me what i wanted. This is a very rough neighborhood it seemed to me btw. I told him iwhat i had and it was doing and asked him for advice what to do with it. He said they dont fix guitars. But a guy behind him said let him in let me see it. So i went in and he looked inside it and his eyebrow arched. He said leave it here and come back at 4 o clock. I thanked him and went back to work. I went back at 4 and he wheeled out a very old guy in a wheelchair. He had a light on a head band and he showed me the tag inside through the f hole where he built it in 1938. This all happened in the late 90's. He showed me another tag he had added where he repaired it that day. I tried to pay them but they wouldnt take my money and they basically ran me off. It still plays beautifully now and i still have it and have added a floating p90 .

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.

[@horsecockexpress7612]

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

[@SkibidyWorld]

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!

[@KimchiSpringRoll]

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.

[@jvin248]

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.

[@sirwinston2368]

I bought a mid-60's ES-335 12-string in 1976. Still play it almost every day (never had 12 on it). I have also had two Heritage H-575's (the ES-175 of course), and I recently bought a Heritage H-555 (a blinged out ES-335 more or less). I played a half-dozen "real" ES-335's before I bought the Heritage. Some great guitars STILL coming out of Kalamazoo. P.S., I was in the factory before Gibson left.

[@timwhite5562]

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]

I have a 2010 light burst chambered, it was the black sheep back then, no one wanted it and I fell in love the instant I played her at the store, bought it and it's my main guitar ever since.

[@timwhite5562]

@@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

Heritage makes fantastic instruments. A few years back I was going to have them make a copy of my '79 Les Paul Artist (loaded with Rio Grande pickups not the Moog garbage) since the guy who carved the neck literally still worked there, but I ended up finding a one of one guitar that I couldn't say "no" to instead. One day I will still follow through as I really do feel like Les Pauls with Super 400 style necks (5-play maple/walnut with ebony fingerboards) are the best LPs out there due to the crazy articulation they have (mahogany sounds really muddy in comparison). Plus the headstock is much more robust unlike normal LPs that are eventually going to need a headstock reapair if they are played live at all.

[@allthings1150]

Why would it need a headstock repair from being played?

[@rickfinsta2951]

@@allthings1150 played live. If you play enough shows your guitar is likely gonna get knocked off a stand or dropped by a tech. I've been doing live sound for... yeesh nearly 30 years and playing shows for about 20, and I've seen a bunch of guitars tag a dig off a stand on stage. Obviously the guys working around really expensive guitars take extra care but most of us don't get that treatment even when we have $15k of gear sitting on stage LOL. It is a widely known issue with the Les Paul headstock design. Even the volutes on some LPs (and on vintage Martins like a D-28 of mine) will help protect it from breaking no idea why they don't use them if they insist on a one piece mahogany neck. Hope that explains what I meant.

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.
