onewilyfool Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Hey Guys......now I KNOW this is NOT a Gibson.....but certainly it could be considered an "offspring" of Gibson.....I just got a used Heritage 575, all solid wood maple, gold top. Very retro. This guitar sounds amazing plugged or unplugged. First time for an archtop like this. I'm very happy with it and thought I would share some pics with you guitar lovers....Happy pickin!!! <a href="http://s169.photobucket.com/albums/u203/onewilyfool/?action=view¤t=IMGP0009.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u203/onewilyfool/IMGP0009.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://s169.photobucket.com/albums/u203/onewilyfool/?action=view¤t=IMGP0010.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u203/onewilyfool/IMGP0010.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guitarstrummer Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Enjoy, although I'm sure you'd enjoy it much more if it were a Gibson. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onewilyfool Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 Thanks guys......I KNOW I KNOW....it is NOT a Gibson....however, some of the employees of some of you old time Gibson Guitar owners, may be the same ones who built this one!!!! Built in the same building before Gibson moved to the East coast and Montanna......I am actually playing this acoustically most of the time, hence, I put it in the "acoustic" forum section. Keep Plucking!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep Plucking!!![/quote'] I don't know why these guitars can be "undervalued" I think they are fantastic. A time ago I was really tempted by a Heritage Les Paul and I mean really tempted to the point where I went to the bank, got the cash , went to the guitar shop in Bath and then decided not to buy it becasue I couldn't get on with the headstock (Fickle eh) Yours looks great I hope you enjoy it to the Max!

onewilyfool Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 I'm surprised they are so reasonably priced also. The workmanship is flawless.....This thing is a small body, 16" and thin, but the acoustic sound is great. I had a Huge Hofner New President, that was BIG....and it didn't have the sound this one does. I can vouch for them......a All solid wood Gibson, may have cost me more......so I am happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrorod Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I also, am a big fan of the Heritage guitars....The Kalamazoo cousins to Gibson. Yours looks very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
