I want one . Tim Pierce, signature ✌🏻🎸🎶

[weezerti]

Hey Tim! I helped put that baby together...thanks for the praise!

[randallsmith]

You emanate happiness when you play. Your eyes smile - even when they are closed.

[xxBlazinBobxx]

Billy Squier's "Don't Say No" album is such a gem! "Lonely is the Night" sounds great on your Heritage!

[toddsteele]

My favourite musical guitarist ever. Tim's video's are different from the standard ones and full of good advice and killer tone. A good measure of a great teacher is the minute you start watching Tim, you're reaching for your guitar. 👍

[KimchiSpringRoll]

Everytime I see Tim's playing it humbles me, the confidence in execution and the on-pointness is just so satisfying to see. I wonder what kind of aura you can feel when you hear and see him play in person in front of you.

What differentiates Tim Pierce, Rick Beato, Ask Zac and Five Watt World is the musical intellectual appeal. Going beyond endless guitar and gear reviews, I’ll admit they serve an important purpose if done correctly versus hawking a particular brand, your channel gives insight into the working world of being a musician. Even this review focuses on what the tonal possibilities are available and why to a working musician it fills a void. Thanks for all you do.

[southsidejohnny]

Tim, as always it is an absolute joy to see your honest delight in playing guitar, as well as your unpretentious approach to gear reviews. If I was a guitarist I’d be on your courses in a flash.
Cheers from a retired drummer in Scotland.

I never saw anyone bang on an electric guitar body like that. That was the coolest! It really does ring like a piano!

[PrinceWesterburg]

When I got my first guitar in 1984, the guy in the shop played an open E chord on it and it chimmed like a bell. I was blown away! I love that sound and although I don't really like Les Pauls, that guitar has a really great tone that I've rarely heard - well done, hope you keep it all your long life!

[sgt.grinch]

Heritage is a magnificent guitar manufacturer. The instruments are pure single cut designs at its finest.

[jrwojick]

Man...I wish I could find as much enjoyment in anything as Tim seems to have playing guitar. He is a beast and always so inspiring. Thanks for these videos Tim!

[bowagner]

Every Heritage I’ve ever played has been exceptional. I have a H-535 that is incredible and has been a good sales pitch for Heritage. As several friends that have played mine have went out and bought one. Plus Heritage has amazing customer service

[shanethackeray]

Love the tone Tim, that guitar is a beauty. That intro “ Lonely is the night “ Billy Squier, was originally played on a Tele with a humbucker in the bridge. I was at a live gig back in 1976, your new Heritage nailed that tone.

[Wargasm]

This old guy can play. What an absolute monster. I’m more of a metal head myself. Have been for 40 years or more. But watching Tim play is just a real treat. Great precision, dynamics and sheer joy. Well done sir. 👍🏻

[dtrude]

Incredible tone, emotional, and beautiful playing WOW

[caniswolf]

Thanks for this. I heard about Heritage for years, but knew nothing about the back story of them. I have a new appreciation for them now.

[sircharles]

I love when it rings like little bells. Never heard it like this before from a guitar. He really loves his guitar that is for sure. To see this joy in his face, this is a gift!

[thelolguy]

That Heritage literally sounds AMAZING 🙌. Love my H150 Deluxe

I worked in a repair shop for a couple decades, a period over which I've played almost everything known at one point in time. It's an interesting thing when it comes to Les Pauls, weight relieving/chambering and the desire to have them sound as close to vintage Bursts as possible. Most people will go with a modern model without weight relief because the original ones didn't have it, and they're trying to get close to the tone and response.
I've played a number of 50s Les Pauls, ; several 58/59/60 bursts, along with a few Gold Tops, and the one quality that was consistent among them that isn't nearly as prevalent with them after they returned from being discontinued in the 70s right up to modern ones, is the resonance and attack. "Liveliness" is a common description that, while a bit vague, none the less fits. There's a bounce and punch that people tend to equate more with Fenders or semihollows than with LPs. Personally, if I were looking to get a modern model to fill in for a vintage one, I'd start by trying out chambered, or even weight relief before non-weight relieved, that's going to get as close to that liveliness. Another thing is that the older ones tend to be markedly brighter than modern ones, and out of the modern ones it's the chambered bodies that are brighter. I'm not completely sure why that is, but if I were to guess I'd say that with so much of the mahogany mass removed, the maple top plays a larger role in the collective tone. I've also noticed that the lighter the guitar, the brighter their acoustic tone is.
The resonance between the neck and the body is the foundation that everything else builds off from, and it's also the hardest thing to change later on (if it's possible at all). Pickups, pots, tone caps, hardware, etc? These are all things that can easily be replaced later on. The wood? Not so much.
