epilover9568 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 For those of you that have played both... Which do you think is a better guitar ? and why ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RotcanX Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Sadly I've never had the opportunity to try the Heritage but I'd bet my money that it'd be a neck-and-neck kind of thing. Two top-notch instruments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JefferySmith Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 For those of you that have played both... Which do you think is a better guitar ? and why ? You read my mind. About 5 hours ago, I emailed Jeff Hale for prices on that Heritage. I only have one Heritage, the Les Paul model. It is Elitist quality with a nitro finish. Fabulous action.

NeoConMan Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Fine tone woods, often better than Gibson, handmade by real craftsmen in Kalamazoo, and the price is right. OR; Made "over there" from decent woods, with some American electronics. Sorry. The Elite stuff is nice, but if you're gonna be spending some serious money.... Downside - Heritage has so-so resale value. So buy a USED ONE!!! Honestly, you can't go wrong with Heritage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JefferySmith Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Heritage does that Plek thing on the frets, and Jeff Hale does a fine setup on it. But you'll have to wait 12 weeks for the Heritage. How bad is your GAS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Hale has them for $1895, and he does a good setup on them. He told me that even with the Plek system setup the action is too high (although the frets are perfectly aligned), and his setup guy has to lower the grooves in the nut. I'm thinking about H355 with the ebony fingerboard and bound f-holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
