DetroitBlues Posted October 17, 2019 Posted October 17, 2019 Holy Crap! I'm in trouble!!! Just saw this today on Sweetwater's website! https://www.sweetwater.com/c590--Solidbody_Guitars?params=eyJmYWNldCI6eyJCcmFuZCI6eyIzIjoiSGVyaXRhZ2UgR3VpdGFyIEluYy4ifX19
kennyv4 Posted October 17, 2019 Posted October 17, 2019 Musicians Friend, now Sweetwater, Heritage has certainly stepped up their game. Good business move for name recognition and sales. My guess is they may have trouble keeping up with demand.

Just need some demo's on Sweetwater to show how good they are.
Vanschoyck Posted October 17, 2019 Posted October 17, 2019 Their H-575 page says "laminate" in a couple of places describing the construction. Huh?? https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/H575SAN--heritage-guitar-inc-standard-h-575-antique-natural
davesultra Posted October 17, 2019 Posted October 17, 2019 The zero % financing isn’t all that attractive once you figure in sales tax. I’ll keep buying used. But yes, a good move for “H”.
Steiner Posted October 17, 2019 Posted October 17, 2019 Link to the full H inventory: https://www.sweetwater.com/c589--Heritage_Guitar_Inc_--Electric_Guitars?sb=high2low I emailed them about their laminated specs

deytookerjaabs Posted October 17, 2019 Posted October 17, 2019 Love the 575 but I also vote for a laminate version at $1,000 less with offset P90's, maybe slightly smaller f-holes as those are some pretty big holes.

That sounds a lot like an H525. And why is that amazing model not listed on the Heritage website?!

And why is that amazing model not listed on the Heritage website?! That's definitely what the 525 is. Acoustically it sounds nothing like the 575. I thought it was more balanced overall, which is why I went that route. They wouldn't be $1000 less than the 575, since it still requires quite a bit of handiwork with the kerfing, etc. It would probably slot between the 575 and the 530 for price. It DEFINITELY wouldn't be the same as an H150. I think that would be a very good addition to the line, but I'm guessing they are looking at the H530 to fill that role. As it stands, I've got mine, so I'm good!
DavesNotHere Posted October 17, 2019 Posted October 17, 2019 So, is Heritage Dirty Lemon now what Heritage Vintage Sunburst (VSB) used to be?

DetroitBlues Posted October 18, 2019 Author Posted October 18, 2019 wow, there is already a really nice review on there.... Wonder who wrote it? When G-guys Left Kalamazoo, They Left Their Heritage Behind! I’ve been playing Heritages for several years now, currently own both a H150 and a H535.If you want a piece of iconic American History, look no further!When Gibson left in Kalamazoo in 1984, they left their Heritage behind.225 Parsons Street. Birthplace of the Les Paul Guitar and 335 Electric-Spanish Guitar. Now the home of Heritage guitars.Using the same tools and methods taught by the same people who built Gibson’s back in the 50’s, Heritage guitars are nothing short of real Americana at its finest.The hand selected woods, beautiful finishes using real lacquer, no Swiss cheese bodies all makes for one helluva guitar.Matched with Seymour Duncan pickups and modern highest quality parts, nothing sounds or feels like a Heritage!I can cover so much ground from Classic Rock, Soulful Blues, Chicken Picken Country, I know my Heritage can get me there.These are handmade instruments, no CNC or mass produced garbage in garbage out guitars. Heritages are custom shop made guitars at a price point no other custom builder can offer.You‘ll be hard pressed to find a guitar of this quality and features without paying at least twice the price.Rock on Heritage! close by Josh from Troy, MI on October 17, 2019 Music background: Hobbyist/Basement Rock Star

JohnCovach Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 This is very good news for Heritage. I have used Sweetwater for years for recording gear because their service is spectacular. I think a lot of folks those outside of HOC, and especially younger players, will find out about Heritage because they are already buying from Sweetwater and feel they can trust them.
DetroitBlues Posted October 21, 2019 Author Posted October 21, 2019 its the new office next door. On 10/19/2019 at 1:46 PM, skydog52 said: Did Heritage move? 255?
