Heritage Guitars builds on the momentum of its new Standard II Collection with three new premium electric guitars
[Editor’s note: Heritage Guitars and Guitar.com are both part of the Caldecott Music Group.]
After unveiling its Standard II Collection back in September – bringing a number of “meaningful refinements” to its Standard Series – Heritage Guitars has added three new models to the line, the H-150 P90, H-535, and H-530.
All built at the brand’s iconic factory at 225 Parsons Street in Kalamazoo, Michigan, the new additions bear the same ethos as the Standard II Collection’s existing models, with Custom Shop pickups, refined aesthetics and more.

The H-150 P90, as you might have guessed, sports a pair of Heritage Custom Shop 225 Standard P90 pickups, designed and wound in-house with 42 AWG poly wire and featuring Alnico 5 magnets. These pickups are bolstered by CTS potentiometers, Vishay capacitors and Switchcraft components for the “purest signal and reliable performance”.
Like the other two models joining the Standard II Collection, the H-150 P90 boasts a new headstock veneer with the Heritage logo, as well as a slim ‘60s neck profile for a vintage feel.
Elsewhere, the guitar features a genuine mahogany body with weight relief for greater playing comfort, and comes in four colourways, Dirty Lemon Burst, Midnight Blue, Cherry and Ebony.

The semi-hollow H-535 sports a pair of Heritage Custom Shop 225 Standard humbuckers – wound in-house using 42 AWG plain enamel wire in the neck pickup and 43 AWG poly wire in the bridge pickup, and with 2.5” roughcast Alnico 5 magnets with potted covers for minimising unwanted feedback at higher volumes.
The H-535’s electronics feature modern wiring, though, with series/parallel switching via push/pull tone pots for enhanced tonal flexibility. Like the H-150 P90, the H-535 features CTS potentiometers, Vishay capacitors and Switchcraft components.
It also sports the same new headstock veneer with the Heritage logo, as well as a ‘60s neck profile. Finish options include Chestnut Burst, Trans Cherry, Ebony and Original Sunburst.

And last but not least, the hollowbody Standard II Collection H-530 sports a pair of Heritage Custom Shop 225 Standard P90s with CTS potentiometers, Vishay capacitors and Switchcraft components, as well as the same new additions as the previous two models: a new headstock veneer and ‘60s neck profile.
This one comes in four colourways: Chestnut Burst, Trans Cherry, Ebony and Original Sunburst.
