  1. Greetings Heritage owners! I have owned several Heritage instruments and I have 3 at this time. I began playing in 1960 and had several local bands during the 60's. My first guitar was a cheap flat top and my first electric was a bright orange Framus that I used for several years. Because I was born and raised in Kalamazoo I knew about Gibson and the factory at 225 Parsons St. all of my life. My first Gibson was a cherry 335. Soon I had a Melody maker and eventually I owned 2 Les Paul's. First a 1967 Gold Top and then a 1977 Blond. Now I play a 1992 H-550 Antique Sunburst, an H-555 Custom in butterscotch translucent and a "one of a kind" Heritage Bass. My Heritage flat top is now owned by my son. It is an H-440 in cherry with gold machines. I have all of my instruments displayed on string swings in my home and my collection is limited to guitars made in Kalamazoo. I am a big fan of Fender tube amps and I have restored a 1973 Princeton Reverb and a 1979 Twin Reverb. I also have a completely refurbished Ampeg B-15N "flip top" amp. My entire life was spent in the music business as an A/V salesman and store owner, a weekend DJ for weddings and parties and a homeowner/hobbyist. My wife and I have been together for more than 45 years and we have two grown sons and two grandsons. If anyone has questions about music, sound reinforcement or A/V problems, please let me know. Jim
