Heritage Guitar - Ascent Collection H-137 P90 Sunburst

In this Sunburst finish, the H-137 P90 takes on a more traditional aesthetic, while retaining the accessible approach of the Ascent series. This combination works particularly well with the P90 configuration, which emphasises playability and nuance. The okoume body provides a well-balanced sound base, with a strong midrange and fast response, allowing you to maintain precision in your attacks.

The screwed maple neck contributes to this feeling of responsiveness. It offers an immediate response under the fingers, with a C-shaped profile that's easy to grip. This configuration is ideal for both accompaniments and more detailed playing. The laurel fingerboard, combined with a 12" radius, keeps chords comfortable while facilitating more expressive techniques.

The P90 pickups are at the heart of this version's character. Their response is distinguished by a more pronounced attack and a rougher texture than humbuckers. In clean sound, they deliver a precise reproduction, with a good presence in the treble, but without excess. When the gain is increased, they develop a more nervous grain, with a certain roughness that helps to bring out the playing in a mix. This sound signature remains very sensitive to playing dynamics.

The electronics retain a simple structure, making it easy to adjust in real-life situations. The wraparound bridge completes the package, ensuring good vibration transmission and stress-free use. This Sunburst version is aimed at those looking for a guitar that is accessible, yet capable of faithfully conveying their playing intentions with a strong sonic character.
