LucSulla Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Jason from Gainesville, FL here. I recently just bought my first Heritage, a 2007 GT H-150. I have been wanting Heritage since probably 95 or so, and recently have started shifting around guitars and trying to build a collection of stuff I enjoy looking at as well as playing. Seemed like a good time to jump on board, so here I am!

LucSulla Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 I was 16 at the time... I apparently had to wait until my 30s to have any money I guess. Better late than never!Until about three years ago, I had been playing on the same LP Custom and G&L Strat I've had since I was 19.
H Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Hi and welcome to the HOC I think we have another member in Gainesville called 'big bob'
PrairieDude Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Hello Guys and Gals! My name is Steve, but on here I'm PrairieDude. I don't yet own a Heritage guitar, but I certainly hope to one day! I look forward to getting acquainted and learning Heritage history and lore. As a young man, many years ago, I worked for a small acoustic guitar company that made solid wood guitars taking on the C.F. Martins of the world, so I'm pulling for the little guys!

Yooper Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Greetings all. Dave from Michigan here. I'm a native to the beautiful maple hardwoods of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. I believe Gibson and Heritage may have used some maple from that region. Like PrairieDude, I'm hopeful of becoming a Heritage owner. I posted a Gibson ES 347 for trade in the Non-Heritage section. I imagine I'll need to sell it to buy a Heritage, since a trade is unlikely.

Also, it seems that since Michigan is where the factory is located, there are a lot more guitar stores there which have Heritage guitars in them than in other parts of the country. So you might have an easier time of trading in ES 347 toward a Heritage locally to you.

Steiner Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Ya dere, you betcha! I meant to welcome you aboard to the collective but somehow inadvertently posted just the first line. I know editing is a limited time offer, so I wrote welcome and got the hell out. Also wanted to say hi from your lowly trolls under the bridge. Good day; eh?
Yooper Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Thanks, Steiner. Having married a troll and lived "Down Below" for some time now, i can almost blend in....except if there's PBR and pastys (not the strippers kind) being served. I'd be first in line.
guitarjerry Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Guitarjerry here - a.k.a. Jerry - Just saying hello - and who I am.... I've been a professional drummer for over 30 years, although I started out playing violin and guitar. I'm semi-retired from drum gigs - meaning at this stage of my life I only play gigs that I want to - in other words - with good musicians and not too far from home. I've found myself playing gigs with some questionable guitar players - so I decided to get back into guitar and do it myself. I've been taking lessons from the local "pro" - who by the way is a great jazz player and gets called for all the major shows. My reason for taking lessons is to learn to read proficiently - and be able to slip in "adult" chords whenever possible. I want to be able to play more than 1-4-5. That being said - I must admit that I have a long way to go to get to where I want to be - and at my age that probably won't be possible. But - I enjoy playing - which makes it all worthwhile. I just bought a Heritage H-576 which I now consider my main guitar. It really is what I woudl consider a great guitar. It plays great - sounds great and it's construction is top of the line.I also have a Gibson ES-135 - a beautiful Gibson SST (acoustic electric that has a great neck) and two Fender Strats that never get played.
H Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Hi Jerry and welcome to the HOC We have other guitar-playing drummers here so there'll be some sympathetic ears from time to time Can we see some pics please?
LoneFurrow Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Hi folks, I just joined the forum as an aspiring Heritage owner. I need a semi-acoustic and have my eyes on an H535, which I'm hoping to pick up this coming week. I've tried a bunch of guitars from the big G and others, but couldn't find anything that really clicked. I'm based on London, so another of the UK community. I'm looking forward to caring for a Heritage (for the next generation!), and contributing to the forum. Michael
HANGAR18 Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Welcome Michael! I'm sure "H" will be very happy to hear that we have another UK member.
SouthpawGuy Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Lots of new members lately, welcome to all !
H Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Welcome LoneFurrow from another UK member, over near Colchester. Quite a bunch of us here now, perhaps a dozen or so active members Let's see some pics when you have your 535
LoneFurrow Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Thanks, H :-) I was perusing the member map earlier and noticed there's a reasonable UK contingent. I'm planning a trip to High End Guitars this week to pick up a 535, hopefully this one:
LoneFurrow Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 That's very pretty. Were the cream pu surrounds rather than black standard? The bench looks like it needs some attention :-)
H Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 That's very pretty. Were the cream pu surrounds rather than black standard? The bench looks like it needs some attention :-) I put the cream surrounds on it when I loaded the Phat Cats. I experimented with the black and the cream. Both looked good but I stayed with cream It's a 'feature' rather than 'functional' bench What made you pick High End Guitars? They're pretty pricey.

Jason seems to be pretty much the only Heritage stockist in the UK, so I'm not sure where else to turn. Suggestions welcome, of course!! I've seen pre-owned guitars appear occasionally at a couple of the more expensive vintage specialists, but they seem little less expensive than buying new. I've bought stuff from Jason in the past so he's willing to do a little bit of a deal, which helps. If you look at the price of even a standard ES-335 these days, the Heritage guitars actually look reasonable value. I've tried a few Gibsons recently - VOS Bonamassa 335, CS-336, ES-345 - and all were around £2,500 or more. I didn't like any of them.
