You're Canadian, and Well Hung are out of Canada.A genuine Well-Hung guitar strap will also mitigate a Les Paul weight. Look em up on Reverb. Super custom, great price fantastic service and no, I am not affiliated.
BUt remember the dash. Well-Hung. Well Hung likely gets different search results!!
Heritage makes some very nice guitars. I have a Gibson ES335 Figured that is very nice, great playability. (Rounded C neck with Plek’d frets.) Well worth checking out and a sweet guitar. However, order a set of Lindy Fralin vin. PAF’s if you find one, those Calibrated T - type pups didn’t cut it for me. Kinda muddy sounding.
Yep. My 10+ lb. LP Deluxe feels like it's just floating on a Well-Hung.
I have 8 of Brad's straps and I'm working with him on designing a custom one for my V.
PRS McCarty model for me. '59 neck. All specs are LP except thinner mahogany under the maple cap. There is a hollow sound with the weight relief LPs that I don't like. I swapped out the PRS pickups with Fralin PAFs and put in 59 style wiring. Feels like and sounds like my old LP, but my back and shoulder thank me after a couple of hours.
The Heritage that's for sale locally had Lollar humbucker sized single coils installed- sounded good but if I get that style of guitar I want humbuckers. It was also "Artisan Aged" ; The finish was kind of cool but imo they went overboard aging the chrome parts.
The Heritage H-535 is about a grand less than my ES335 and comes with a set of Seymour Duncan '59 humbuckers. The 2 guitars are every bit as good as each other, it would come down to which one speaks to you. As for aging a guitar, I find that pointless. It would be like saving up for a brand new car and saying “how about sanding a couple spots on the rear quarter to get some rust going, kick the front fender in, and break the window crank”. I want it to look like a used car my aunt gave me. I’ll give you an extra grand. I don’t even want me to ding it up!
I tried to like PRS guitars because I love the looks of them. But I never liked any of their pickups, even though I see others play them and they sound great. Of course I can change them out, but the necks, I just can’t jive with the necks. I tried them all but can’t talk myself into them. Same with Kiesel guitars, they make some nice stuff but they just don’t fit my hand I guess.
Some people rave about the Murphy Lab Gibsons. The Heritage was supposed to be like that I suppose.
Im old too and think the opposite....even when I was younger. Tanks that sound good but are uncomfortable AF, its not just the weight (Im 6'4", 205 with a pair btw). If it wasnt for the shorter scale length making them easier (softer) to play and some good tones Id want nothing to do with one. I have two that never get played.
Yep, some think the Muphy Lab stuff is just wonderful. I shy away as soon as I see those words because I know it will cost about $2000 more just because he painted it. What a great gig he has going.
