The Heritage Ascent+ Collection H-157 balances classic vibe with modern playability. Crafted with a solid mahogany body, it delivers a warm, resonant tone with excellent sustain and depth. Finished in high gloss to bring out the wood’s natural beauty, the Ascent+ H-157 is designed with comfort and craftsmanship in mind, ensuring musicians can play comfortably through extended sessions at home, in the studio, or on stage.
At the core of the H-157 are the powerful custom Humbucker pickups, which deliver a dynamic and articulate voice suited for a wide range of musical styles. From smooth cleans and punchy rhythms to soaring leads, the push-pull potentiometers expand your tonal options with ease. This versatility makes the H-157 a perfect choice for players seeking a single guitar capable of covering diverse genres.
Playability is elevated by the ebony fretboard with pearloid block inlays, mounted on a 12"–16" compound radius that allows effortless bending and smooth transitions across the 22 jumbo frets. Additional features such as a contoured heel for upper fret access, Tune-O-Matic bridge, stopbar tailpiece, GraphTech TUSQ XL nut, and gold hardware with speed knobs combine quality craftsmanship with elegant aesthetics. Available in multiple striking finishes, the H-157 is a refined, high-performance instrument built for musicians who demand both style and substance.
