craftypants Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 A big shout out to all of you HOC members that lurk in the background but don't post much! You know who you are! But we don't. The sole purpose of this thread is to send out a special HELLO! And to ask if you'll drop in and say something about you or your Heritage guitar. Consider this a kind of online HOC meet and greet...or even a Heritage-Aholic group hug. OK, I'll start..."Hi, my name is Tim, but my friends here call me Gitfiddler. My favorite Heritages are (in no particular order): Sweet 16, Golden Eagle, H-555, H-150 and of course the H-157. I'd love to own a Millenium, but cannot spell it or afford one yet. Alright guys and gals, YOUR TURN! Who are you...and tell us something about you and your favorite Heritages! Let's see how many newbies or oldies will say HELLO! 8) Good morning...I am brandyspankin' new here. Also, while a musician, I am new to guitar. I just visited my Great Uncle Norm last night (that guy is NINETY and still plays). I told him I'd be starting guitar lessons on Friday and he gave me...GAVE me his Heritage. I'm not sure yet of make and model but it is cool!! It is mine on the condition that I visit frequently to show him what I've learned! I will do that with pleasure. Anyway...I found this site while researching the history of the instrument. My name is Michelle. I am 42.....Mother of 4, financial consultant, music is my first love. I studied french horn back in the day but always thought it would be very fun to learn guitar. Hi everybody!

Here we dream, learn, support and encourage each other to continue our dreams of being better musicians and better people all while collecting the best guitars in the world. Just ask Patrick. Guitar is a lot like French Horn, just without the buttons and you can play chords. Its all music though and I'm sure you will do just fine, especially, with your Uncle Norm's support. Welcome aboard, Mark
Guest HRB853370 Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 Welcome Michelle, what area of the country do you reside in?
JackBaruth Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 Hello all, Just stopping in to say hello, signed up yesterday. I've been playing off and on since 1982. My guitar teacher has played an Eagle since the early Nineties. I have a 535 23rd Anniversary and a red flame 555 that I was told was a NAMM show guitar. Looking to add a 150, 157, 575, maybe a Golden Eagle to the collection. I have fifty-some guitars, split across Gibson, Fender, Godin, Heritage, and Electra. Nice to meet you all!
brentrocks Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 Welcome to the HOC Jack!!! lets see some pics!!!!

Hello Jack and Welcome. My eyes lit up when I saw you have a 23rd Anniversary 535. So do I. Its my favorite of my 15 guitars. I also have a couple of NAMM guitars that I bought from the '86 & '87 shows. You're obviously, a guitar lover and you will fit right in the rest of us.
kbp810 Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 Welcome Jack! Make sure to put up some pics of the 535, we must have our porn! That's a great looking wish list as well, not much unlike my own (and several others here for that matter)
wdelaney72 Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 New member here....my name is Walter and I'm looking to get my first Heritage. Looks like I'll be searching for a new or used H150, but I'm not done with my research. The only familiar name I see here is Mars Hall, who I think I may go back a ways from the Metroamp forum. Looking forward to chatting and learning more about The Heritage.
FredZepp Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 Welcome to the HOC, wdelany72. Enjoy the forum and good luck with your search for your Heritage. BTW, nice amp... a 150 should rock through that one.
akguitar Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 Hello, I'm John, I live in Alaska and I own a Heritage 480 (acoustic model #HFT-480-N). I purchased the guitar in 1992 when I was 18. I still play the guitar and the tone has gotten much warmer over the years. Does anyone out there have one of these guitars or know much about them?

There are several that own Heritage acoustics here, though they are fairly rare. You may want to ask the question in the Heritage section... but be ready, we can't help but ask to see some pics of yours... (we love to see pics of various Heritage guitars)

dharv53 Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Hi Everyone, What a GREAT site! My name is Dave. I reside in beautiful Traverse City, MI. I came across the HOC while researching Heritage guitars. I joined the forum because I am in search of (and lusting for) my first Heritage and I needed advice on which model to buy. By the way, thanks to everyone who has replied to my posting. You have been very friendly and very helpful! I started playing about a year ago. I am a lefty. I tried to learn to play right-handed but, from a guitar buying standpoint, I am cursed. I currently own a '62 MIJ Strat RI, and a Martin ooo-15S. Now it's time for a made-in-Michigan Heritage. Hopefully, very soon, I'll be posting pics of my first Heritage. Regards, Dave
FredZepp Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Welcome to the HOC, Dave.. You already have some great guitars there, a Heritage will fit in quite nicely. Good luck in your quest.... and yeah, let us see it when you find it. We love pics.

Regards, Dave Welcome to the club Dave. My young son is a lefty, I will need to learn how to teach him stuff backwards I suppose. Bought him a righty little Martin when he was 3, his sister has been using it.
yoslate Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Boy, does this speak to my current lust for an acoustic archtop! Rob, I have a P-90 Super Eagle. What a box! Love your pics, and your Super and L5 are lovely! Great color on the L5!
brentrocks Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Hey Dave! Welcome!!! I have a couple good friends in Traverse City...Scott and Brad Gelbaugh...they are CPAs Anyway...nice collection!!!
crazydog Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 New Member here; Just bought my first Heritage from Graham at Wolfe Guitars in FL - cant recommend them highly enough...good people. OK, here goes; Heritage 535 25th Anniversary. Almond with gray/black pick guard. She had me at "hello." I walked in to Wolfe guitars and saw her hanging there; once I played her (first time palying a Heritage) she was mine...you never forget your first time! Pix dont do it justice...as I know all you fellow owners know, the finish and wood grain on these guitars is amazing. Once I plugged her in, her tone floored me. Incredible tone, the power of the SD Seth Lover's is awesome. Refined, restrained, yet pure awesome control. Short story; this is one awesome guitar! Glad to be here.
FredZepp Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 Welcome crazydog, That is an exceptionally fine 535 , 25th anniversary. Very , very nice. Many have had a positive experience purchasing a Heritage at Wolfe's. And we're glad that you found us here..... Enjoy.
brentrocks Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 Hey Crazydog.... Welcome to the HOC!!!! Wolfe always has nice stuff.
crazydog Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 One update (shot out first post rather quickly)...color is listed on the tag as "Amber"...either way; its a beauty.
