Members sk8centilli Posted May 11, 2012 Members Share Posted May 11, 2012 Awesome. My grandpa and I were guided by none other than Ren Wall. I suppose he does all of the tours, but it was an unexpected surprise; plus, the man shares some killer stories along the way.

Members Deadbeat Son Posted May 11, 2012 Members Share Posted May 11, 2012 Cool pics! I meant to go there when I was in Kalamazoo visiting my father-in-law a couple of years ago, but ran out of time. Next time I make it to MI, I'm definitely going to check out the factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Clinically Deaf Posted May 11, 2012 Members Share Posted May 11, 2012 I love Heritage guitasr, wish I could afford one right now. However, I think their headstock is terrible looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RaVenCAD Posted May 11, 2012 Members Share Posted May 11, 2012 Not to be negative, but... Aren't these the same employees that were part of Gibson during the much maligned Norlin era? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Presc Posted May 11, 2012 Members Share Posted May 11, 2012 Not to be negative, but... Aren't these the same employees that were part of Gibson during the much maligned Norlin era? And some were also there during the "golden years" as well. I don't think you can draw much from it. Guitars are both a function of craftsmanship and specification. If Norlin decides to make a guitar with a pancake body instead of a solid piece of Honduran mahogany, that's not the craftsmans fault. For me, the Heritage history is cool, but ultimately, who cares? That was 40 or 50 years ago. They build nice guitars now. That's all that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
