Here's (hopefully) pics of my 1999 H535 and my Reverend Gabriel Reeves Signature model.

Nice guitars, Bobsky! :)

H., I noticed that you use the same tail piece on both of your Heritage guitars that is different from the one I have on my H535. I suspect mine is the original, but don't know for sure. Did you originally have a similar tail piece to mine but changed it? If so, is there an advantage one way or the other or is it cosmetic only? Thanks again.

The original tailpiece/bridge items supplied by Heritage were made by Schaller. I use TonePros replacements which are lockable but it's mainly a cosmetic thing :)

 
Makes your guitars more Gibson like in appearance which I think looks good. Did you replace both the bridge and tailpiece with the TonePro replacement parts? Did you notice any improvement in the performance or sound of the guitar once you did this?

Well, the bridge and tailpiece don't fall off when restringing. That's about it for performance ;) No tonal improvements that my ears can pick up but it may make a difference to someone, somewhere in that respect.

Look for Marquis Distribution on the web, they're in CA. Tell them that you have a Heritage 535 and they'll fix you up with a chrome/nickel/gold/black/aged set in a couple of days. No drilling or other messing about, just a straight swap :) As you say, they look great, and that's the main reason for me putting them on.

 
Hi,

The name's Steve, an Englishman living in Toulouse, France. I looked at a lot of Gibsons and honestly didn't really think the quality was there. So I went for the real thing and bought an H 575 in tobacco sunburst. I bought "blind" as it's difficult to find Heritage guitars in France ...one dealer only.

When the guitar arrived and I opened the case for the first time I was stunned.. The guitar "ouzzes" quality, visually and acoustically. It feels great and plays better.

When I talk to Gibson players I ask why they didn't buy a real one !

 
Hi Steve, I'm an Englishman in England. Congratulations on your first Heritage and welcome to the HOC :)

 
Hi all! Nice to see a forum for Heritage. Just stumbled on it while looking up a question on finishes.

I'm Dale in Floresville, Texas, and like most of y'all I have a problem...

Bought my first Heritage, an H-157 in 2004 at Eddie's Guitars in St. Louis. (Serial begins with a T).

Thanks much for the chance to join and participate. I had two Les Paul VOS models (R8 and R7) and really miss the 50s neck, but I have come to prefer Heritage these days....price and quality!

Edit: Tried to post a pic, but no joy! It's a Tobacco Burst.

See you in the posts!

Dale

Hello all,

I am a new member. I just registered after picking up my first Heritage, an 1999 H-555. I took a picture today but it came out blurry. I'll try to post a better one this weekend. In the meantime I've attached the picture the store had on their Facebook page. (Haven't yet figured out how to make it normal size in the message so click for full-size.)

take care

david

Hi All,

I was invited here by one of your moderators. Up until then I did not even know that Heritage Guitars existed!

I have owned a few Gibsons Over the years & as you can see from my signature I have a few other Guitars as well.

Anyway.......after some reaearch on this forum & other places I decided to invest in an H-150CM to see what all the fuss was about. So I bought this today & it should be with me tomorrow!

Will post opinions when it arrives, be intersting to compare it with Gibson LP 57 VOS.

Hi Bucketbot, welcome to the HOC :) I'm guessing that you're in the UK (or mainland Europe) as you've bought from High End Guitars in Nottingham. Quite a few of us from this side of the Pond now :)

Nice 150 - VSB is one of the favourite finishes for those on the forum :)

 
Cheers Guys!

UPS website says it's out for delivery! :biggrin_mini:

And to H........yeah I live in the New Forest area of Hampshire. :icon_pirat:
