What happened to all the used Heritages here?

[rwinking]

When I first joined this forum I remember a lot of guitars for sale. Pretty much every Heritage I ever coveted would come up on this site. Even obscure ones like my Leon Rhodes.H 576, or the Stats or H-162s seemed to show up here. Lately I have not seen much except some of the newer H-150s, 535s or 575s. Are people hanging on to the older 150s and such? is it my imagination?

I do remember little Leroy selling a Marv bird a few months back but that is somewhat of an anomaly.

Many of the older pieces seems to get more value i guess? Not too sure but many have said the newer pieces are better build vs the older.... as far as we know there are a handful of peeps here whom still swear by the older pieces despite of the shorter neck tenon but its the handbuild spirit whom the guys sought after for.... 

I currently own two new era H150s and am looking to trade my oxblood H150 for a H157 in natural in pristine condition .... do hit me up too here haha...

I love the old story about these common men giving Gibson the finger and doing their thing with the old fashioned methods.  That ended in 2016.  I lived through it and, like all things, it has come to an end.  I have my guitars and friends so I am perfectly happy.

It’s a vicious circle…

Hey,  some of just buy some guitars and then.... KEEP THEM!    I've been looking at several guitars, and then I decide instead to just go pick up one of the guitars I already have, and the need to buy something fades away.     Buy some new strings and make it sound fresh and new! 

I have seen a few on Reverb, and actually saw one on the local Craigslist.     They're out there.
