DingDongDitch Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 Hi everyone. I was a member here a few years back but left for personal reasons. I'm glad to be back. I have some cool pics I thought you'd all enjoy... I had the pleasure of taking an all access private tour of 225 Parsons Street. My best bud on earth recently became Operations Manager. There are some major changes happening there. I can't say all that's going down but believe me you'll be hearing and seeing a lot of cool things. He even let us in the room where they keep all the original Gibson parts and old wood. That was an absolute trip. Here are some photos of the tour... I have more pics if you guys are interested. Eric
DingDongDitch Posted May 5, 2016 Author Posted May 5, 2016 No worries. My wife and I are going to come out to the get together this year. The last time we were there it was at Brents farm. We had a great time!
ElNumero Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 Thanks for sharing! Glad to hear they have an operations manager now, who knows who did that up until the acquisition. Looking forward to meeting you Dong!

Looking forward to meeting you Dong! Call me Eric. The place is spotless now. I'm super geeked about what's going on over there. My bud, Dan is a great guy and he's really excited to be there. They have a little jam spot with a killer vintage Supro in there. That was fun!

Vanschoyck Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 Neat photos. Every time I see a bunch of nearly finished guitars hanging like that it makes me want one!
SemiHalo Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 Awesome photos. Place looks damn clean. Is it the angle of the photo or is the old stack looking like the leaning tower of pisa?
Polo Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 We're all friends here.....let's see a few pics of the new model that they're cookin up!!! We won't tell anyone where we saw it.
TalismanRich Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 Nice pics! ... and welcome back. I'm really looking forward to the visit this year. Hopefully we can get the new folks to talk a bit more about their plans for Heritage. Then we'll get down to the serious business of making some noise!

Didn't get a peak at that. Is there a new one in the making? I was trying to remember what year we were at the pilgrimage. It was 2009. We had so much fun. Fwiw.
bolero Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 well that is pretty freakin' fantastic!! thx for the pics! I am also looking forward to what they decide to do, I wish them all the best!
tulk1 Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 Cool deal on the mandolin brace/form. The lap steel jigs must have been old gibby stuff? Don't recall ever hearing of or seeing a Heritage LS.

Don't recall ever hearing of or seeing a Heritage LS. Yes that was the room with all the old Gibson stuff. So cool to see some of it. It would take months to go through it all. We just barely scratched the surface.
Doug Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 I went on the tour a week or so ago and it is so much more open and cleaned up in there. First time I've really seen a demonstration at the paint booth upstairs too.

Gtwibs Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 Sorry if this is off topic, as I haven't been following too closely, but I think the new website looks GREAT!
