Members thinkpad20 Posted May 26, 2008 Members Share Posted May 26, 2008 I dunno, it just doesn't gel with me for some reason. Plus for jazz style guitars (if I were to own any) I prefer single cutaways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the idea of a spruce top, though I may prefer it nekked to the wood then. Bet you it's bright and snappy with that spruce. Mmmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JBecker Posted May 26, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 26, 2008 Semi-hollows are far from just jazz guitars (prefer an archtop for that kind of thing anyway). This is all rock for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BadCompany89 Posted May 26, 2008 Members Share Posted May 26, 2008 Well, they're built in the Kalamazoo factory where Gibson originally built guitars with all the guys who built Gibson guitars back in the day before the factory moved.They do LPs, ES135, ES335, and a few other Gibson models for less at higher quality. 1500 isn't really bad for a top of the line semi-hollow considering the new LPs that cost that much are typically total {censored}. Gibson LP's for $1500? You mean studios? Hardly a direct comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JBecker Posted May 26, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 26, 2008 Gibson LP's for $1500? You mean studios? Hardly a direct comparison. Heritage sells LPs for around that same price. I just don't know why you think 1500 is astronomical for a semi-hollow that's built to quality... The Epiphone Elitist semi-hollows are like 1200-2k new, sticker.

Members JBecker Posted May 26, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 26, 2008 A little about Heritage for those who don't know: How it all began.. Heritage Guitar Inc. of 225 Parsons Street in Kalamazoo, Michigan was incorporated on April 1, 1985. The company is going on 19 years old, it has achieved the status of one of the premier guitar companies in the world today. It is, in many instances, the new guitar line handled by countless vintage shops throughout the world. This indicates it is thought of as the collectible guitar of tomorrow. The idea to start Heritage Guitar began when the Gibson Guitar Corporation closed its Kalamazoo, Michigan factory in September of 1984 and moved all production to its other plant in Nashville, Tennessee (in operation since 1975). When this took place, some of the employees were asked to move to Nashville. However, since their families had spent many years in Kalamazoo, it made it difficult to uproot and move. Therefore 3 men, Jim Deurloo, Marvin Lamb, and JP Moats, decided to start a guitar manufacturing business. In 1985 when the company was incorporated, 2 other former Gibson Guitar Corporation employees, Bill Paige and Mike Korpak, joined as owners. Mike left the company in 1985. The founders biggest resource is and was the group of craftsmen they could draw from to begin operations. The owners themselves each had in excess of 25 years of hands on experience in making guitars. To this day each of the owners is directly involved in the manufacturing of each instrument. Heritage started operations in the oldest of five buildings formerly owned and operated by Gibson Guitar Corporation. That building was completed in 1917 and has been a center for guitar manufacturing ever since. Much of the machinery that Heritage uses today, was purchased from Gibson Guitar Corporation. The first guitar Heritage introduced was the H-140 solid body single cutaway electric guitar. This model was shown at the NAMM show in June of 1985. Since that time Heritage has added many instruments. Currently Heritage manufacturers Custom Carved Hollow Body Guitars, Semi Hollow Body Guitars, and Solid Body Guitars. This is to say nothing of the countless number of custom instruments made in each of the groups previously mentioned. Banjos, Mandolins, Flat Tops, and Basses, are no longer being produced because of the demand for the guitars mentioned in the above 3 categories. Heritage is proud of it's older employees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
