JohnCovach Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 My copy of the new Vintage Guitar (Feb 09) just arrived and the Heritage ad is on p. 159. It's a 1/2 page and color, with a mention of HOC. Very nice!
JohnCovach Posted December 11, 2008 Author Posted December 11, 2008 Ah, I have no scanner here--sorry!!
fxdx99 Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 my copy arrived a couple days ago, but I haven't cracked it yet. I'll check back later once home and will scan/post if no one else has.
fxdx99 Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Nice - pics came thru really nice, Throbak. Vince et all, nice concept - It's GREAT seeing my fav guitar company in my fav guitar mag. Sorry for the poor resolution - looks much nicer in glossy mag color. Worth buying this months VG - Elvin Bishops on the cover. http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh237/fxdx99/heritagead.jpg[/img]
brentrocks Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Thanks Randy!!! HOC plug at the bottom!!!
fxdx99 Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Yeh - isn't that cool! Like the copy as well - very well written (imho). Like it lots- almost as much as the limited editions 8)
fxdx99 Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 ... Speechless. ... and the HOC is amazed by yet another first ;D

Maybe the HOC can get permission to use this ad copy on our home page.
pushover Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Very cool.. I think its a good add. If I didn't know Heritage, it makes me want to find out more... Gotta ask the obvoius question though.... What do WE get out of it?? Obviously we're "people who know and love the quality of Heritage", and they're sending people OUR way... So do we get kickbacks? Company stock? free strings? a complimentary tuning fork (remember them?) I'm kidding i don't want anything.. I'm happy having a (few) quality instruments, and I'm happy to enlighten the unwashed masses just because they NEED TO KNOW! Perhaps there are a few here (the founding members..) who deserve something for helping to promote Heritage, and I hope they get something..
yoslate Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Beautiful layout; superb copy! That's a really nice job, fellas. Congratulations to everyone on Parsons Street. Represents the company wonderfully! 8)
FrankS Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Any info on the guitars themselves? Will they all have the same finish, pick-ups, etc?
Spectrum13 Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 I'm expecting an artical now as the publishing business kinda works like that. It would be cool if HOC had a contest where we voted on a "custom" Heritage of the month which could be featured in a section of the VG add. I need a reason to buy a new guitar so If you have the imagination it might be fun!

shook494 Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 That's awesome! I got the issue and dident even notice it the first time through I'm happy they are doing the add.
golferwave Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 It's been some time since Heritage advertised in any publication and this one is fantastic. Really points out what the company is about. Congratulations to all on Parsons Street and to all of us at the HOC!
chico Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 I LOVE it. Bet it pisses Gibson off big time. They probably threaten to PULL their ad budged from VG.
jerund Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 Great! I'll call to see if my local vintage shop still has a copy available! Thanks for the heads up!
JohnCovach Posted January 25, 2009 Author Posted January 25, 2009 There is no ad in the newest issue, which showed up in my mailbox this past week. The previous issue is still on the racks at Barnes and Noble though.
smurph1 Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Hi Smurph1 here, Found out my my guitar is 140 model from 1985..Serial # B04703 which makes it born in November14, Third guitar made that day..Still don't know what the sunburst color is..Just know it's got a nice flame to it..Rock On..the Smurph-man..
mars_hall Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 It will be written on the control cover label inside... CSB or ASB or OSB etc
soybean Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 I'm happy that Heritage is advertising again, but i wish the ad was better. I mean; why nothing about the history and experience of the company? The layout looked amatuerish to me. These are some of the best guitars in the world and the ad looks like it was put together by the secretary's brother in law. Sorry to be so negative, but i love this company and want to see it do better. To be fair, Heritage has never had attractive print (catalogs, price lists, advertisements, etc). They have been successful because they make wonderful instruments. Compare this ad to anything from Taylor or PRS. Heritage is just as great a company and needs comparable advertising.
