Hfan Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Hello everyone. I'm a new member. My name is Pete and I live at the Jersey Shore. I found this site about a week ago and have been reading alot of the old posts. Very informative and everyone seems to be very friendly. I purchased a new 575 Custom in 2006 from Wolfe Guitars. It arrived with no issues (maybe one small binding blemish but who cares). I also recently added a 2005 150 CM Sunsetburst with Stormy Monday pickups purchased on E Bay. It was my first e bay guitar purchase and it turned out fine after some basic set up work. Small world that it is, it turns out that it was from a member here. Thank you Golferwave! I played a lot back in the 70's then pretty much quit for over 20 years then started playing again (only at home so far) about 5 years ago (I found that if I strummed one of my acoustics it would stop my new born twins from crying... I guess they didn't mind the rusty fingers). I had been looking at new G....'s but was very unimpressed with the quality not to mention the prices. I stumbled on Heritage on the web and with no local dealers I know of, and after much internet searching I took a leap of faith and ordered one from Jay. The Heritages remind me of the old G.....'s I remember from back in the day (I won't mention the ones I shoud have kept...lots of those stories out there I'm sure). Likewise for my recent G&L Legacy purchase (also from Jay), the newer Fenders did not do much for me. So as not to get in trouble on my first post I will attempt to paste a photo, Please disregard the slippers at the top, the guitars where being guarded by a 5 year old Spider Man. http://i715.photobucket.com/albums/ww155/ctcpete/HERITA.jpg I need to figure out again how to add the actual photo... a little low on time right now. Regards, Pete
SouthpawGuy Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Hi Pete and Welcome to the HOC ! Let me post your pic for you ... http://i715.photobucket.com/albums/ww155/ctcpete/HERITA.jpg[/img] Really fine pair of Heritages you have there ! Another sunset burst, definitely top of my favourite finishes. I'm a relative newcomer to both Heritage and G&L, I hear what you are saying about the newer G'brand and F'brand guitars, they leave me cold also. There are also quite a few G&L lovers on the HOC. Regards.
brentrocks Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Welcome Pete!!! A very nice pair you have there...(not the slippers) ;D Welcome to the HOC! You should make a road trip to MI in July....hint, hint
Hfan Posted March 21, 2009 Author Posted March 21, 2009 Thanks Southpaw, I believe I needed to paste the HTML link to make the photo appear??? Thanks for the invite Brent. Kind of hard right now to make any road trips (playing Mr Mom right now due to the economy etc), although I would love to go, will try to clear it with the "boss". PS: She hasn't noticed the recent purchase yet...wish me luck. I'll try to repost the photo, here goes...<a href="http://s715.photobucket.com/albums/ww155/ctcpete/?action=view¤t=HERITA.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i715.photobucket.com/albums/ww155/ctcpete/HERITA.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> Thanks again, Pete
Thundersteel Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Welcome, Pete! Nice guitars! I, too have a G&L Legacy. They are much better than the current Fenders.

golferwave Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Hey Pete, Glad you're on board here and glad you're enjoying the H-150. Truly great guitars, I'm down to four of them and you got the last one I'll be selling!
Dick Seacup Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Welcome to the Club! Great looking guitars; bonus points for posting pics (even by proxy, lol) early in the game. ;D
skydog Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Welcome. You'll really learn a lot here. I know I have. Heritage (especially used) is one of the best values in guitars today.
shook494 Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Welcome to the HOC. Nice guitars and Spiderman rocks!!
chico Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Welcome- I try to keep tabs on what is being offered up over on da bay, I know form experience that golferwave has offered up some fine examples. That sunsetburst H150 is a beaut. Nice weight on that one too, IIRC. Anyway, enjoy it and find some good tone, esp. with the kids listening.. Chico
Scooter Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Hey, Pete. Lovely guitars! (Those G&Ls are sweet, too.) That 575 is mesmerizing!!! Must...look...away. Still waiting to get my first Heritage, but it's been fun looking at everybody elses' here and learning lots from this great group of guys. I'm new here, too. Welcome aboard! Scooter
big bob Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 welcome Pete, I also love the slippers... and the guitars of course
Wolfi Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Hi Pete, welcome to this forum. You are right. The people of this forum are incredible nice. I can judge this because I'm a newbie too. Very nice guitars you have!!
emilio Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Hfan, hello from another newbie, at the jersey shore, exit 74...I found this website about a month ago after reading up on Heritage guitars over at the gearpage.

yoslate Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Welcome to the forum, Pete! I grew up in Philadelphia, and my family used to vacation for two weeks (late fifties, early sixties) every summer in Ocean City, where my mom grew up. Great Egg Harbor, saltwater taffy, jetties, the boardwalk, the giant elephant in Atlantic City (before it was [move]Atlantic City[/move]), Chris's restaurant (with the fleet of old PT boats you could take rides in!), incredible childhood memories! Your planks are very, very nice! I, too, have a sunsetburst 150!
smurph1 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Welcome..Pete..Try to make it to PSPII if you can..I'm going to..Heritage is the Sh*t!! And the headstock is pretty to boot!!
