Heritage Guitar - Ascent+ Collection H-157 Ebony

With the H-157 Ascent+ in Ebony finish, Heritage is offering a more accomplished version of the single-cut format, incorporating construction and finish elements geared towards more versatile use. The mahogany body, with internal lightening, provides a dense, balanced sound base, with a good level of sustain while retaining a controlled weight for extended playing.

The glued mahogany neck contributes to this continuity of sound by improving vibration transmission. The C-profile remains accessible, while the contoured heel facilitates access to the high registers. This configuration makes the instrument comfortable to play along the entire length of the neck. The ebony fingerboard, with its compound radius from 12" to 16", provides a faster, more precise playing feel, with a surface suitable for both chords and more expressive techniques.

The two Custom 157 humbuckers are the heart of this version. Their response covers a broad spectrum of sound, with defined clean tones, present rhythmics and more sustained leads. The integrated push-pull system expands the possibilities by providing variations in character, offering a simple transition between different sound textures without complicating use.

The package is rounded off by reliable electronics, a Tune-O-Matic bridge combined with a stopbar for sustain, and a GraphTech TUSQ XL saddle for improved tuning stability. The gold hardware and block markings add a more assertive visual identity, in keeping with the positioning of this version. This H-157 Ascent+ is for anyone looking for a versatile guitar with a well-crafted body and real adaptability.
