Heritage Guitar - Ascent+ Collection H-137 Cherry

With this H-137 Ascent+ in Cherry finish, Heritage is offering a more refined evolution of its accessible single cut model. The mahogany construction provides a denser, warmer sound base than the standard Ascent versions. This type of wood produces natural sustain and a rounder response, while retaining enough clarity to remain legible in a variety of contexts.

The switch to a glued neck also changes the playing experience. The overall effect is more coherent and continuous, with a more even transmission of vibrations between the neck and the body. The C-shaped profile remains comfortable and accessible, but the contoured heel makes access to the treble much easier, making the instrument more pleasant to play along the entire length of the neck. The rosewood fingerboard, with its compound radius from 12" to 16", provides real fluidity for both chords and bends.

As for the pickups, this version is distinguished by the use of noiseless P90s. They retain the typical character of P90s, with a clean attack and marked grain, while eliminating the parasitic noise often associated with this type of pickup. The result is a cleaner sound in amplified playing conditions, while retaining a real sonic personality. The result is a cleaner sound under amplified playing conditions, while retaining a real sonic personality.

The rest of the instrument remains faithful to a simple, effective philosophy, with direct electronics and a wraparound bridge that promotes sustain and responsiveness. This Ascent+ version offers a more accomplished guitar, designed for those looking for an accessible instrument with performance closer to a higher level.
