I recently learned that the Gibson custombuckers were designed by Edwim Wilson and they were based on the pickups he designed for the replica of Jimmy page number 1 . He examined pages guitar in 2003 and he created the jimmy page custom burstbuckers not the match pages zeppelin era tome but to match the tone of pages guitar as it was in 2003 . It had vintage pafs in it but not the original pafs . People complained that the custom page pickups did not sound like vintage page but they were not intended too . They were designed to match the tone of the pafs in pages guitar on 2003 which were not the originals . There is some debate about the neck pickup. In 2009 it was determined that the neck pickup was a 1960 paf which was also determined to not be the original. Gibson examined the guitar in 2003 and because nobody knows when the original neck paf was changed there is a possibility that the original might have still been on there but general consensus is that the change occurred in the late 90s when the in and out of phase push pull was installed. The bridge pickup had been changes several times by then. It has a had a paf then a t top then a Duncan then another paf them another custom Duncan and who knows what now. According to edwim it had pafs when he examined it with at least the bridge not original and mostly likely the neck non original as well and those are the pickups he copied and the Goal was not to produce a vintage material accurate paf clone but to Create a set of pickups that matched the tone of the set in pages guitar at the time and the set he created latter became the custom buckers . So the custombuckers are based on the tone of a particular set of vintage pafs even if the materials are not all identical. Not likely that the pafs in pages guitar had A3 Mags but vintage Mags were different form modern ones so A3 does a good job of mimicking vintage paf era Mags. A3 was used in some early pafs from 1957 but not very many .

Hi William, the Core Collection is our standard run of the Heritage Custom Shop. These Custom Core H-150s are not chambered, but are guaranteed to weigh less than 8.5 lbs. You can find out more info here: heritageguitars.com/pages/custom-core-h-150-electric-guitar

@@HeritageGuitarsInc While I love my Custom Core, I have seen many samples over 8.5lbs on Sweetwater and with other dealers. Also, you cannot deck the tailpiece because the bridge is a high Nashville style, not an ABR-1. I wish Heritage would comp an ABR-1 for the custom core I have.

@captainamerica9353 3 жыл бұрын

You could call this a Gibson LP copy - but it's made in Kalamazoo at the old Gibson factory. Therefore one could argue that these are more "Authentic" than a new Tennessee Gibson. ! Only Martin and Marshall are original family owned companies. Sadly, Vox, Fender, Gibson, Gretch, Guild are just "names".

@wiseguy9202 3 жыл бұрын

I'd say it's as equally authentic. Some of the same people, some of the same tools, the same building, were all used... basically the same brand.
