Special Invitation To New Members

Hi everybody! My name is Dave, and I heard about this place over at the Hamer Fanclub (Also a member over there). I am originally a big Carvin addict, but lately have been moving away from being ALL carvin to being SOME carvin. I've got 8 Electric guitars (two up for sale), 1 acoustic guitar, 3 bass guitars, a bunch of carvin amps and bass amps, and some effects stuff.

I'm a mediocre player at best, after years of trying sporadically at age 30 i've finally decided to take lessons.

Anyway, I got my first heritage guitar a few weeks ago, and she's a real beauty. A 1999 H535 in Almond Burst. The original tuners have been replaced due to corrosion (smells like basement queen), the original schaller roller bridge replaced with a Grover TOM style bridge, and the original Big Schaller tailpiece replaced with Gibson studs and bushings, and a supposed Vintage Gibson Tailpiece of dubious authenticity. The guitar has barely any fretwear, so I believe I'll be the first owner to put some serious miles on her. Currently deciding whether to have the original tailpiece replaced.Not sure about the roller bridge. I have the tailpiece, but I've had to shell out for the roller bridge.

WELCOME to the HOC... Ron and Dave. Glad to have you on board...

Ron, I also have a 157 Black Beauty and find that they just have a special mojo, hope your internet gets fixed, so we get the pics..

Dave, You sure started out with a strong Heritage. To date I've stuck to solid Heritage guitars... but that may change ... lots of awesome semi and hollow Heritages out there. Yours makes me salivate....

 
Hi,

My name is Sem and I play bass guitar I found very nice Heritage bass and now i am a fan of this very nice brand.

 
Richard here, and here are my Heritage's 535 / 150 and 137, got the 137 about a year ago and got hooked, recently added the other two and wanting to add a 575 in a bad way... playing through a Fender Twin (68 Silverface) or an ADA MP-1 / Marshall 9100 depending on the mood.

Hey Sem, Sounds like you love your Heritage.... You'll fit right in here..

And Richard... Nice variety of Heritage and sounds like you plan on expanding on that concept. Welcome.

 
This is my first post, been lurking for a coupl of weeks and registered yesterday.

My name is Rob, been called Bruno since I was @ 10 years old. I have several bolt on neck gutars and have been looking for the perfect LP for a couple of years. The only ones that strike my fancy are the R8 and R9 and I am not going to pay that. Let me be totally honest, Mrs. Bruno won't let me pay that.

I toured the Heritage factory over the summer and saw that they actually were LPs the way I though they should be made. No Circuit boards, no chamber bodies, etc.

I currenly have my eye on (2) 150CMs 1 is new with a clear finish and the other is used with a tobacco sunburst and crazy figured top.

I would like to custom order my dream piece so I am here to learn a little more about them and the options available.

 
Welcome to HOC , Bruno. It sounds like you've already realized some of the realities about Heritage, and the factory tour just proves it.

Finest Quality American Instruments.

Good luck finding "the one" and be aware that these beauties are addictive! Sounds like you're looking at two nice ones.

Or consider the Heritage custom work ....everybody raves about the results..... (lots of great reading material and photos here)

 
Welcome Bruno!

Right now is a good time to do a custom order...the wait time is short and the quality/workmanship is better than ever

 
Hello all! I'm a newbie here as well, but I've been playing Heritage guitars for about 20 years now. I currently own a pretty beat-up H-535 and an Eagle Classic. I'm also a fan of G&L guitars, and I believe the G&L Roundtable now has a few members from here as well. It's good to be here, and I'll be sure to post from time to time.

Hi Jim, glad to see you here and Welcome to the HOC.

That's a nice couple of Heritages you have there, they do compliment G&Ls very well indeed, well both compliment each other actually.

As you probably know I've signed up at the G&L Roundtable, hopefully that will do as well as the HOC, it certainly seems to have got off to a great start.

Hello and welcome , jimbob. That's a nice looking couple of Heritage axes there. Both are types that I have found myself drawn to lately. Thanks for the pics. We do like pics here....

 
Howdy folks. Real name's John, from Washington DC. I have yet to own a Heritage, but I've been yearning for a 535 for quite awhile, and it's not clear how much longer I can resist. I play a G&L S-500 and a Fender '52 AV thinskin Tele. Not a humbucker in sight, so I guess I'm due. I joined here a few days ago, and I'm inspired to speak up by seeing JimBob here, who I think I was trading inappropriate political jokes with the other day on the new G&L Roundtable forum, under the name Trash.

This seems like a nice place, with nice people. Hard to find that on the web!

 
Hey, a belated 'WELCOME' to all of the :glasses10: members.

Hopefully more of the :puke: lurkers will pop in and say hello too.

It is always cool to see pics of anything Heritage related. We are a very literate group, but BIG PICTURES always get our attention and approval. Plus, new members get free mileage points for the airline of your choosing for every Heritage picture. :p

OK, maybe not, but we still like to see your stuff! ;)

 
Hi! Matt here from Sylvan Lake Michigan. I have always been a ESP and Gibson player but after seeing one of my favorite guitarist (Alex Skolnick) playing the F out of a Heritage last year I had to have one! Here's my first Heritage 12.9lbs!! TONE MONSTER! :eek:

Welcome to the Club, BLS! I'm a Michigander (transplanted Golden Gopher, tho) myself; there are more than a couple of us here. That's a great looking guitar; looks familiar...did you buy it from a member here?

Hi! I bought it from a friend (don't think he's a member here, will check).

 
Hey all. I just got a 1999 H140 CM locally. I'd been on the look out for an affordable LP style guitar for a while and got a crazy deal on a trans red one. I am mainly a bass player but have been playing a lot of guitar over the past few years. Other guitars that are going to be collecting dust for a while are a G&L S-500 and an 1962 Harmony Meteor.

I had heard the Heritage story for years but didn't pay much attention as the Strats were getting it done for me. I play bass for Alison Pipitone, who has played a 170 for quite a while as her main guitar. I was tuning her up once before a show back in the spring and let's just say it got my attention so I've been biding my time and watching for one within my reach.

I dug into the 140 for the first time Saturday night (through a Traynor YGM-3) and... well.... wow. It plays like a dream and sounds great - lots of different tones in there as well. I couldn't be happier with my decision to drive 200 miles in the dark and rain to get it after work on Friday! Pics in the ad I saw are small and fuzzy - I'll snap some good ones and post them up here asap.

Oh, and my name is Ben.
