Heritage Guitar - Ascent Collection H-137 P90 Marigold Yellow

In Marigold Yellow, the H-137 P90 asserts a strong visual identity that perfectly complements its sonic character. This version retains the philosophy of the Ascent series, with a simple, accessible construction, while placing greater emphasis on reactivity and expressive playing. The okoume body contributes to this balance by providing warmth and homogeneity, while remaining light enough for prolonged use.

The screwed maple neck enhances the sense of attack and precision. Combined with a C-profile, it provides a natural, fluid grip, suitable for a variety of playing styles. The laurel fingerboard with 12" radius offers a good compromise between comfort for chords and freedom for more expressive techniques, particularly bends.

The P90 pickups bring out the full personality of the instrument. Their behaviour is characterised by a more open response than that of humbuckers, with a more pronounced attack and a more present grain. In clean sound, they offer fine definition with a certain brilliance, while in saturation they develop a rougher texture, ideal for blues, rock or garage registers. This ability to translate the nuances of playing gives a feeling of closeness to the instrument.

The circuit is deliberately kept simple, so you can concentrate on playing rather than on tweaking. The wraparound bridge follows this logic, ensuring good vibration transmission and straightforward operation. This Marigold Yellow version is aimed at those looking for a guitar that's affordable, but with a strong sound and a strong visual identity.
