    Why don't I see many Heritages talked about here?

    I guess I just missed it when I searched. Good luck finding a great guitar.:thumb:

    Why don't I see many Heritages talked about here?

    I would think, outside of the Heritage Owners Club Forum, this would be the next hottest place to discuss Heritage Guitars. Maybe they aren't being discussed because so few know their story. From Heritage Website: Heritage Guitar Inc. of 225 Parsons Street in Kalamazoo, Michigan was...

    Is Gibson making GIBSONS in foreign countries?

    Getting to a level of competency using CNC equipment is not a great leap. What's important today is that processes are properly refined and the equipment is properly calibrated. Like any assembly line, the employees are all interchangible, by design. This is probably why Gibson struggles...

    Is Gibson making GIBSONS in foreign countries?

    It's all CNC and rarely touched by human hands. regardless of the location it's built. From the looks of things, they do still buff them by hand :laugh2: Today's Gibson is no more hand made than today's Chevy. The nationality of the guy putting tab "A" in slot "B" doesn't matter. It's high...

    The Return of the Kraken

    My Kraken Legion 5 found it's way back home today. Still sort of burned at the guy for not asking a simple enough question. Not sure what his real reason was for returning it. It wasn't because it was a veneer top on maple, rather than a solid map cap. It was a no reserve auction that started...

    NGD - 2000 Heritage H-535 Stunner

    This is what the Gibson Nashville assembly line looks like: :lol:They are wearing hair nets:laugh2::laugh2: This is what a guitar factory looks like. This is clearly a place where guitars are 'made', not just assembled. No hair nets, old t-shirts for polishing and a...

    NGD - 2000 Heritage H-535 Stunner

    I noticed, it's not the one with all the stickers:thumb: I watched a video from Gibson talking about their new '59 Dot reissue. The guy made a big deal out the 'mickey mouse' ears at the cutaways, hot hide glue and nitro lacquer. He went on and on about how expensive the process was and...

    Please Allow Me To Show You what I Do.....

    Nice stuff Jeff. Hatter is a knucklehead with his panties in a wad. Pay no attention to him. Like SoWhat? says, I ignore him, too.

    NGD - 2000 Heritage H-535 Stunner

    Glad there's an Other Guitars section here. I've been tangled up in LP style guitars for about a year and learned a lot of it here. I wanted to share my new love with you all. First a little history for those unfamiliar with the Heritage name. This is from their website at...

    The Unofficial "Release the Kraken" owners thread.

    He got lucky and caught me at a weak moment. I started it off at 99 cents and no reserve, should have told him no returns if he'd opened it up. All he had to do was ask. I think it's more that they haven't updated the website. I had a message from Cho last summer that the Legion line was...

    selling the Kraken. first experience on ebay

    Couldn't agree more. I ask questions all the time and answer them anytime asked on a listing. I blasted the same thing back at him in my first answer. Told him this was easily the best documented Kraken guitar out there. 100s of photos of it torn down on my public photobucket account, youtube...

    The Unofficial "Release the Kraken" owners thread.

    Well, is guess I won't be releasing the Kraken. Gotta figure out how to explain this to the wife. I left out a clear statement that it was a veneer top on a maple cap, not a solid flame maple top. Buyer assumed it was a solid top. Can't argue. He's sending it back. That makes twice. I...

    selling the Kraken. first experience on ebay

    You're right, I had links to here and my photobucket accounts and ebay killed the links. That's why I told the guy to send it back. No excuses on my end. I didn't notice my links disappeared at the bottom of the description, when I relisted it. My fault. It just kills me. I buy stuff all...

    selling the Kraken. first experience on ebay

    The Legion 5 is starting to make my head hurt. First I thought I sold it and the guy backed out and didn't pay. Then I sold, got paid, shipped it. Now the guy wants to send it back because he didn't know it was a veneered top. He let his guitar shop take it apart. It told him to send it back...

    The Unofficial "Release the Kraken" owners thread.

    USPS says it's at it's new home. Wonder if it shows back up on here. Here's the replacement: 2000 Heritage H-535 with Shaller pickups and hardware. All original and unmolested. It's in transit, but there's not much place place for it here. It's not a Les Paul at...

    As any auctioneer would say, Thank You for your help. The winner already paid. I'm really pleased. It's on the truck in the morning.:wave:

    Well, it brought $2 more this time around. Now, as long as the buyer isn't a knucklehead, it's time to make a deal on the Heritage.

    The Unofficial "Release the Kraken" owners thread.

    Yes, it fell through. The guy flaked out on paying. Used being a member here to ask for extra time to pay, if he won. He did. Time came to settle up and he couldn't. Really hacked me off. Normally, its cash and carry with me. I let being a member here cloud that. Lesson learned. Its back...

    My Kraken Legion 5 is up for grabs

    No, I think that's petty and won't fix a thing. The member knows in no uncertain terms how I feel about the whole affair. My point wasn't about him. It was about how our relationships and conversations here are not subject to the same social contract we have with our face-to-face friends...
