Hello,

I  bought my first Heritage at Smashing Guitars in Asheville, NC just this week. It is a 1999 Black Beauty H157 that has seen some wear. I took her home to Atlanta,  cleaned her up and put some new strings on her. She plays like a dream! And she's heavy - which I know a lot of you like.

Funny things is, as I was leaving Asheville, I looked closer at the tag hanging from the case. It's from Maple Street Guitars - one of my favorite stores here in Atlanta, GA. I guess I'm bringing her home - or at least to one of the homes, she's seen. Funny world.

I have more guitars than sense - as my wife will tell you - and I am proud to add this Black Beauty to the collection. She joins several Hamers, a couple of Warriors (older ones), a couple PRS's an old SG Custom and a couple of Ricks. Good company. I can't play 'em all every day, but I do manage to get to them all in rotation. I'm sure the H157 will get a lot of play in the next few weeks. I've been playing, buying and selling guitars for over 40 years. I play in a rock cover band now and a pickup jazz trio on occasion. Long ago, I wrote my own tunes and my band did all originals. Don't write much anymore, but I still play. I've been studying jazz lately to expand my horizons.

I was glad to find the Heritage Owners Club and joined it today. I have questions, so I'll post them here later. In the meantime, Here's a pic of my Black Beauty.

Welcome Eddie.  I'm sure you'll enjoy both the 150 and your time on this site.  The people here are definitely Heritage enthusiasts but not guitar biggots.  Its a great group of people and you should have a great time here.  You won't find a more knowledgable and helpful group of guitar people around.

 
VERY nice 157 Eddie!!!

Welcome to the club!!!

you are wise to post pics first...you get these if you dont... ;D

Hi Eddie and Welcome to the HOC, greetings also from Ireland.

Nice lookin 157 you got there  :thumbsup:

I notice also that you are a fellow GAS sufferer, you'll fit in great around here  ;D

 
Here are my 2 Heritage Guitars (along with a couple of others)

Both were amazing deals.

The Gold Top I picked up for $350 because of a scratch on the top.

The 535 I picked up for $1000 with a hardshell case as a wedding present to me in 2000.

Enjoy.

Welcome to the Club, bubbaheat!  I love the pinup on the strat-a-like.  I was going to do this with my ASAT Classic (Photoshop mockup):

But, I sold it (silly me!) before I had the chance.

 
Welcome Bubbah.  Nice machines; my kind of stuff!  They look like real players all!!!  Nice Jerry Donahue lookin' Tele.  Nice rug!        ;D

 
Hi,

David here from UK.  I’ve been doin gigs for 30 years, last 18 years  in and around London and the home counties, from rock and blues to now, all dinner jacket gigs, (jazz pop and hockey cockey) (easy  work for the money)

I love guitars and have been on the tone trail for years, I think I blew it the seventies when I sold a twin reverb and a les paul standard, I have never got that sound back !!! so I keep searchin. This has led me to this  group of knowledgeable and friendly folks cause I bought a Heitage 150 cm (already have a les paul) wanted to try the Heritage cause I heard good things about them.

I can say, the  Heritage I've got is good, although I'm gonna swap the bridge, tailpiece and the schallers, for seymour's, (even my les paul sounds better with seymours.)

Having been looking at your postings and having been pleased with the 150,  I now know I need and want ( please wife try and understand)  a sweet sixteen and 535.

I’ll be watching your postings for any good deals you dude’s spot and hope I can get a good sweet sixteen and 535.

You lucky yanks have great choice and prices on guitars, here in UK it’s a rip off.

So thanks for the welcome  and see you soon.

David

 
Hi mr blue ... and Welcome to the HOC.

It's usually a good idea to post pics of your Heritage, otherwise the natives tend to get restless  :wink:, worse still you'll get the dreaded  :this_thread_is_useless_withou ...

I hear what your saying about the prices of gear in the UK, if you think that's bad you wanna move to Ireland  ;D

Lately I've been getting my guitars from the US, my three Heritages I bought from dealers and even after factoring in shipping and taxes they were still a bargain.

 
Well southpaw, i'm thinking like you, get guitars from usa. i'm also a bit of an ovation man and got some good deals from the usa on them, although got hit with duties..i'll post some pics of my guitars.

thanks for welcome everyone.

 
Hi - Been out for a while, but now it's time for me to lay down some cards.

I'm simply Jorgen from Denmark (Scandinavia, Northern Europe that is) and been playing in bands since the mid '70, and still are.

I've got a load of guitars and gear, mostly rare and expensive things, that I could afford in the early days :)

As we speak, I've got a collection of 3 Heritage's in the house, a H157/black beauty ('01). The others are a H140 custom ('86) and a H170 ('98),  I've luckily and happily "heritaged" from Brent.

This IS a quite unique forum with a lot of dedication towards and knowledge about one of the last real guitarmakers of the world, who puts craftmanship over profits.

So to you all in here:

Take care of HOC and Heritage Guitars of Kalamazoo
