I just signed up to this group. I currently own 3 Heritage guitars, a 1986 140, 2003 535 and a 2008 575. I have a question about the 575 that maybe someone could shed a little light on. The sticker in the body says 'Heritage Custom Shop'. (The sticker in the 535 just says 'Heritage Guitars') Is there any significance to that?
Thanks,
Don

Don, Welcome to the asylum.
Heritage Custom Shop is on some of the labels of guitars that have upgrades or dealer options.
And others seem to have it cuz that's what was on the lable table that day! :icon_scratch:
There is not a set answer to your query due to the factory being so willing to customize almost any guitar they make.
If someone else has more info on this mystery, please feel free to chime in.

Don, back in '89 the only p'ups with a 4 screw adjustment set up were Schallers. They later could have been HRW's (modified by H.Rendal Wall aka HRW Schallers).
I don't think that made it a Custom Shop guitar. It could have been a 'choice wood' upgrade, special color, specified neck carve, etc.
Keep in mind that Heritage IS a custom shop. So anything goes.
The main thing is to play and enjoy that gitfiddle until your face cramps up from smiling so much! :icon_smile:

Isn't the "standard shop" in the basement and the "custom shop" on the second floor?

HI everyone, learned about Heritage guitars from a DVD from Guitarjams.com. Marty plays a Heritage 535 and it made me look for one and I found mine on Ebay it's 12 years old and it looks better than some new guitars I've bought.

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum. I don't own a Heritage... yet. I'm getting on this forums looking to snag up a used h150. So if you have too many Heritage guitars, I'm buying.
Welcome to the HOC
Plenty of action all year round in the trading section. It won't be long before you've got a nice 150 in your expectant hands

I had the honor of being affiliated with Heritage guitars and the Heritage name through my employment as production coordinator at Heritage Amplifiers in Brentwood TN from 2003 - 2008. I may have had the pleasure of meeting some of you at the Namm shows I've attended over the years. Let's stay in touch on here, Facebook or Twitter. Oh yeah, and I've got a beautiful amber H-535!

Hi thanks for the invite.
Just thought id wait till my guitar arrived before i could comment, i have a few gibsons some of them kalamazoo guitars and they are so much better than the nashville models. This one i have is the first ive bought but not the first ive tried, a few years ago i tried a second hand 335 type guitar it was wonderfull. The shop wanted £2000 for it i went back a week later and it had gone, the model ive got is the one from ebay a beat up h 357. Cleaned it up and restrung it and what a shock, it out sustains any other guitar i own the intonation is spot on right out of the box. Its got harmonics all over the place and rings like a bell, beautifull neck and action and plays like a dream im amazed. Im not a fan of firebird's as a rule dont like the neck dive, my friend bought one and i couldnt get on with it. He couldnt either and after two years on his wall unplayed he sold it, the h 357 looks like a firebird but is everything the gibson model should have been.
Cheers
