golferwave Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 I've done a few deals with Guy and can vouch for him 100%. Good luck with your search, it's the best part!
Millennium Maestro Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 I appreciate the feedback from club members. It helped me make a decision that I feel good about. Ordered a couple beauties from Green Oak. A few fellows came highly recommended and I called Paul really based on location. He took it from there. So far so good... If you are looking for a Michigan Dealer Paul is an excellent decision! (Green Oak). Guy American Classic Guitars
rjmajik Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Hello All, Been stalking in the forum for some time and get ready to order a couple of Heritages (well a 525 for sure and possibly a 530). Wolfe Guitars appears to be the big dawg (wolf, etc., no pun intended sorry) dealer but are there any others that you all have had good experience(s) with? For the money being spent I would like to be comfortable with the dealer and ultimately the purchase so would not mind shopping around a bit. I also would like whatever I purchase to be set up by the dealer as my trusy luthier in the area has retired. Some around here (Western New York) have good reputations but I am a little leary of walking in and just handing over a new Heritage saying have at it. Speaking of being comfortable with the purchase I read about the 555 previously posted and there was some comments about the quality of work (or lack of). Kind of surprising but again I want to feel good with whatever I decide to do. Purchased an Epiphone from a botique dealer who advertises on the web quite a bit and was shocked to pull it out of the box watching the electronics basically fall out of it (it was QC'd in three locations around the world - did anyone plug it in or try to?). Had a bad experience with a Gibson not long ago. It is almost to the point I am afraid to buy anything. Hoping for good karma with this upcoming purchase. Any thoughts would be appreciated (especially in regards to the dealers). Dave Hello, I've bought two guitars from Joe of Joe's Music in Eastpointe, MI and have been very satisfied with the service. Joe is great to work with and has been a Heritage Dealer for a long time. By the way, I am in the Pacific Northwest and both guitars survived the shipping process in great shape.
Gitfiddler Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 I've had positive experiences with a number of dealers including Wolfe's, Mojo's Music, and our own Millennium Maestro. I ran out of cash before being able to buy anything from Green Oak, but for a small operation, Paul certainly carries the good stuff! One thing they all have in common is a love for the Heritage brand.
Jammer1 Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 My guitar stable/collection is essentially complete, but if I was to buy another new Heritage guitar it would be from Millinniuem Maestro (Guy) or Green Oak Guitar. There is a certain big Heritage dealer in Florida I would not use again. Not because of Heritage issues, but because of ego, cost, and over-inflated reputation. (IMHO, I was only a sale, only a number.... And I bought 4 new Heritages from him). +1!
DetroitBlues Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Kind of weird that someone asks for their opinions about dealers, I give my thoughts, I gets PMs from people agreeing with me.... yet someone doesn't respect my opinion and gives me a -1 reputation point about my opinion. A little cowardly and strange if we are asked for our opinions but that are the same as some and I get a -1 over my opinion..... Ouch. I'll give you a +1 to make up the difference John! I have my own reasons, but I chose Guy to purchase my first Heritage from. I can say my experience so far has been fantastic. I couldn't be happier with the result.
rockabilly69 Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 I've only bought new from Wolf, the experience was alright. I got small discount for using cash instead of credit, shipping time was reasonable, but the guitar had a few issues, I immediately had to get some fret and nut work done, so the setup was bad. And if I recall correctly they said it had been Plek'd. And the tag that came with the guitar said Seth Lovers on it although it was advertised as having Pearly Gates pickups. They sticker inside said Pearlies, so there was some confusion.

For those who don't know Joe... He is Joe Naylor, founder of Reverend Guitars, Naylor Amps, and Rail Hammer Pickups.
