LarryUK Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I've been looking at one of them. Is it me or is the finish superior to Gibson? Crap headstock though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duane v Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 They have quite a few on display at the FretHouse in Covina, and I tried a couple... I personally didn't like the way the fretboard felt on three I tried, it felt way too choppy. The finish is everything a Norlin Gibson was, but for the price I would get a Gibby..... basically money in the bank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigh Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I never cared for the Heritage headstock either. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky scott 29 Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Man I gotta get out more. You guys and all the brands and models you can get your mitts on, I'm jealous.... I need somebody to open a huge guitar store up here in the north country so I can have fun too. It might cost me lots of dough, though... Now that I think about it.

Mr. Natural Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I've been looking at one of them. Is it me or is the finish superior to Gibson? Crap headstock though. I look at the Heritages I run across at the guitar shows. They offer most of their models built up as lefties, too, and I was thinking about buying a few years back, so I look at them just out of curiosity. Every one I've ever looked at, righty or lefty, has had an beautiful finish. About the Heritage headstock - it doesn't bother me at all. It's a personal taste/subjective kind of thing, anyway. I've seen (what I consider) a lot worse headstock shapes on other guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenced Fred Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I want to get their smaller semi hollow, but I hate the finish. I might be st00pid, but is there a plain top version offered? It's called the Millenium or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shnate McDuanus Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I think Gary Moore uses a Heritage sometimes. Yeah, I tried one of their hollow bodies--it was a sweet guitar but I wasn't looking to buy a guitar at the time, so I let it go. I'd probably be able to find the same model if I looked for it. It was a very nice instrument and seemed well-made, and it sounded great through the 65 Soho I was testing it out on. The headstock doesn't bother me. I wouldn't be able to tell you if they were or weren't better than current Gibsons in any way--I haven't played enough of either to make that judgment, although I've played a fair amount of new Gibsons, with varying degrees of satisfaction (heck, I'll admit that I even liked the current LP Standard that I played)--but are they good guitars? Yep, very much so. Would I consider buying one if I were looking for a new guitar? You betcha. Would Heritage guitars make me forsake Gibson entirely? Nope, but no brand around could make me forsake any other brand, period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heymisterk Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I HATE HATE HATE the headstock, at least on the solid-bodies. It's a personal thing, yes, but to this person, it's ugly. That said, my next guitar - well, electric guitar - will be a 535. I played one at Elderly Instruments a year ago and it was really sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Used...their (they're) worth it.New...not so much. Semi hollow and hollow bodies are very good though. Aside from the speeling and grammer, I'm in 100% agreement. Whenever I think about the less-than-exciting headstock I just picture a Dean. Then it ain't so bad.

craigh Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 +1 on the Dean. Also BC Rich. My stomach turns whenever I see one of those ulgy guitars. Talk about axes. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdntac Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Used...their worth it. New...not so much. Semi hollow and hollow bodies are very good though. Why do you say that (in regards to the "worth it" thoughts)? What are you basing your opinion on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dem00n Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Why do you say that (in regards to the "worth it" thoughts)? What are you basing your opinion on? They make very good guitars. But for the price you could buy a better les paul. Ive played quite a few of them, they arent lacking in tone mostly but the feeling on the neck and fret bored feels sorta iffy. I do know however that for a short time in the 80's they made very very good superstrat guitars that are searched after from many superstrat collectors. If you ever see one of those, pick it up you will love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
