Hey guys and gals :D

 

My name is Jim, I'm one of the mods over on Jemsite.com, but I do play and love Heritage guitars. I have an '04 555 Custom, here's a pic:

It's chestnut burst, seth lovers, tone pros bridge and gibson style blocks in the neck all stock from the factory.

 

I wouldn't mind a Golden Eagle some day :D Hope to get to know you all in the near future!

 

peace,

 

jim

Welcome to the Club, Jim! That's a beauty of a 555. From the picture, it almost looks like it has bow-tie inlays. You say Gibson blocks, so I'll take that as meaning the usual inlays, but...bow-ties would kill. Regardless, beautiful guitar. Is the Ibanez an AF-105?

Thanks Dick :D Yeah, she has the square 355 style blocks in the neck. I said it was a 555 Custom, but I made a mistake on that as the sticker actually says 555 Classic. The Ibanez is a '78 FA-100, and a real nice guitar. I went through a few 175s before I lucked into that one about 10 years ago.

Hey Jim. Welcome to the HoC. Your moniker looks familiar. Did you hang out at HoC for a bit? Or BaM? Doesn't really matter. Nice group of H's you got there.  :wink:

The moniker follows me everywhere ;) Here, Jemsite, the JCF, Hamer forum, Martial Talk, and probably a dozen more I can't think of. I started using it on Usenet about '89 when I got a Jem 777, and it's easy to type :lol:

 

Thanks for the welcome guys!

Welcome aboard the Good Ship 'HOC', Jim777!

 

Always good to see a fellow Ibanez fan as well.  I'm as much a nut for their high end semi-hollows as Heritages.  Never played a dud from Ibz.

 

Do you also post over at the Ibanez Collectors World?  I've been there off and on for many years.

 

And your 555 is the shizzle!  Chestnut Burst is one of my favorites...next to Golden Amber on 555's. 8)

Hi everybody!

 

I have an Eagle Classic that friends of mine are just dying for me to trade in so THEY can grab it! Not gonna happen. I really joined to find out what's happening in Kalamazoo. Glad things are looking up, but it'll be better when the sawdust starts flying again. David in Florida

Dave,

 

Welcome to the HoC. Sawdust is flying in the old k'zoo. The boys are back at it and better than ever. New models are coming out, or more accurately, have come out. And our favorites are still being produced. Production is a'happening!

 

And Eagle Classic, eh? Might as well post a pic of it. Always like to see another Heritage guitar.

Welcome to the Club, Dave! Kenny is right, the boys in K'azoo have been turning boards into sawdust for quite a while. My recollection is that things were pretty dicey between July and November, but by January they were back with a vengeance.

 

Now...Eagle Classic...mmmmm, nice....

Hello!

If I can get the pics up I own two Heritage working on a third (535) still at the factory getting completed.

Been playing for over 20 years and owned a few guitars 69 Gibson LP and a 73 Black Deluxe (both missed) but Heritag has what I was missing.

Glad to be a member.

I think I have seen more left-handed players on this board than on the two or three other guitar-related boards I belong to (but don't seem to visit nearly as often any longer).

Heritages new business plan is to convert entirely to lefty guitars. Didn't you get the memo? ;D

 

This is a very worrying trend...

 

Though perhaps from a business point of view they get tax breaks for supplying the disabled ;D

In the US it's called being Section 508 Compliant. Section 508 is a whole slew of laws and regualtions designed to enable the handicapped. Or as you point out -  left handed guitar players.

My Heritages are a 1990 Johnny Smith purchased in 1990, and a recent purchase, A CM 140 All Gold which I think is from 1991.

The 140 had some Shaller stuff on it and exposed Symore Duncan Humbuckers.

I changed that out for TonePros bridge and tail piece an a set of Seth Lovers.

Result it plays fantastic and sounds great acoustically and amplified.

I will post pictures when possible.

Hi, there!  I'm new to the group, just stumbled on it while searching for info on Heritage on line.  I qualify for the club by virtue of my almond sunburst H-535, which I bought barely used in 1998.  Sadly, for many of those years it sat at home in the case while my workhorse Strat went out with me on variety band gigs.  In 2006, my dear wife bought me a PRS Custom 24, a true guitar-porn quality piece, and at the time I offered to sell the Heritage to help defray the cost.  Thankfully, I never got around to it because just recently I picked up some trio work, doing standards, ballads and your basic dinner/banquet/anniversary party gigs, and the Heritage is the perfect guitar for the job.  You can almost sense how happy the guitar is to be working.  Well, maybe that's a stretch, but I'm sure happy to be working!  ;D  Thanks for the welcome, and to whoever does all the work around here.  I'll be poking around to see what I can learn and putting my two cents in from time to time.
