Is a 25th anniversary better than a regular production heritage? Why?

[Guest HRB853370]

First Act - Heritage Model 150!!

[HANGAR18]

Would you rather that Henry J add it to his collection (Epiphone, Cerwin Vega, Staton, Onkyo, Slingerland, Baldwin, Wurlizer, Valley Arts, Steinberger, Kramer, KRK, etc)? I'm sure it would suffer the same fate as Flatiron Mandolin Co.

 

I'd rather see the HOC members buy the company (in the event of the founders retiring) by buying private shares of stock in the company the same way there are "employee owned" companies out there, and then keep the operation going that way.

Well, if you REALLY know something, PM me too.

 

I don't know anything other than the owners are ALL in their upper 70s, have no one to pass the company down to, and how much longer will they want to continue???!!! I have heard rumors of "shopping Heritage" to other companies (they did this back in '07 after the fire), but I have not heard it first hand from the source. I did hear back in '07 that Peavy was somewhat in play, if this is true or how close the sale was, I don't know.

 

As I have been telling others for some time now (for last couple years), I would order that custom Heritage today because who knows about tomorrow. But that is all I know, and all I told slammer-head.

I think your assessment is right on the money. I believe it's a unique opportunity that could, at the very least, change at any time.

That was great Bill!!

Well, after the panic phase, i hope it's only speculation and Heritage live many years more... i found the answer to my question on a small video:

 

That info was quoted by buzzy, and he was right!

[tyleresco]

So... It can be affirmed categorically:

Yes, 25ths are better than regular ones.

(Because all of the extras mentioned)

I didn't want to read this thread when I got into it--If Heritage goes for sale--I'm in the for first million (Are Pesos or Jamaican money ok?) Oh wait-I can't even afford it in those terms--I'd have to sell all I have to afford a trip up to Kzoo to see that factory I couldn't buy---But hey---If it comes to it--count me in!!!!!
