Heritage Custom Shop Core Collection H-157 Electric Guitar - Titanium Burst - electric guitar - 1 pc

The Heritage Custom Shop Core Collection H-157 (shop/build no. 1295, manufacturer code: HRT-015122184-1295) in Titanium Burst is a premium single-cut electric guitar, hand-built at the legendary Parsons Street factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

This particular instrument comes from a limited Custom Shop run and represents a top-tier take on the classic H-157, finished in a modern, elegant metallic burst.

Key features and materials:

• Body & top: The foundation is ultra-light genuine mahogany paired with a select premium maple top. Both the body and the solid headstock feature detailed 7-ply binding.
• Neck & fingerboard: A one-piece mahogany neck with a comfortable vintage-style '50s C profile. Fitted with a rosewood or ebony fingerboard (12" radius), 22 Jescar Medium/Jumbo frets, and bold pearloid block inlays.
• Pickups: A pair of hand-wound Heritage Custom Shop 225 Hot Classic humbuckers. Inspired by late-’50s vintage PAF tones, but with slightly higher output, fast attack and excellent dynamics—ideal for crunchy and high-gain rock sounds. The pickups are wax-potted to help prevent unwanted feedback.

Premium electronics and hardware:

• Components: High-grade electronics including CTS Custom potentiometers, Orange Drop capacitors (.022uF), plus a robust Switchcraft selector switch and output jack.
• Hardware: Heritage Custom Shop tuning machines, a Tune-O-Matic style bridge with aluminium stop tailpiece (nickel finish), and a bone nut for maximum resonance and tuning stability.
• Finish: Traditional gloss nitrocellulose lacquer that lets the wood breathe and ages naturally and elegantly over time.

Who is it for / what styles does it suit?
The H-157 Titanium Burst is built for demanding players looking for a boutique, USA-made single-cut with premium feel and classic-meets-modern tone. Thanks to the 225 Hot Classic humbuckers, it excels in blues-rock, classic rock, hard rock and modern rock, delivering articulate cleans, punchy crunch and confident high-gain performance.

Included in the package: a luxury original Heritage Custom Shop hard case and a certificate of authenticity.
