Heritage hands down, Such a great full sounding guitar, sounds way more balanced than the Gibson. plus your getting a guitar built in the hallowed halls of Parsons street, built the exact same way the Holy Grail guitars were built, same tables, same tools, Its a no brainer, I've played many many Heritages including the newer ones since the new owners took over and they just keep getting better. Sorry but for me Gibson is just a name anymore with alot of hype.

Fun fact . Edwin Wilson designed the pickups in both of these guitars.

So, let me make sure I've got this straight: we have two guitars that are virtually identical. Yes, some slight slight differences but quality-wise, performance-wise, and spec-wise, the same. Both made in the US. Both with deep Gibson DNA. The only real difference is the headstock. One is about $4000. One is about $6800. Why is this even a debate?

At this price point it's not about sound or playability. You can get an awesome instrument for 500-1000$ or even less if you're lucky. And nobody ever is gonna hear any difference on a record in a mix. However if you're spending this much money, it's not about quality or anything like that. It's about collectors value. You're just more likely to resell Gibson for the same price or even more. And I'm not gonna lie: Heritage's headstock is ridiculously ugly. If I were in search of such instrument without Gibson logo on its headstock I would much rather go for high end Tokai Love Rock models.

@spacerangerlol I'm perfectly happy with my Eastman SB59v with Lollar Imperial pickups. Plays flawlessly, sounds great, and looks amazing. Of course the resell wouldn't be as high as a Gibson LP Standard or CS, but I also didn't pay anywhere near what I would've paid for a high end Gibson either. But resale value is a moot point anyhow, because I rarely sell my guitars.

Prolly the best comparison of the two out there. While they sound similar they each have little differences. Would come down to playability for me.
@SlimeyGuitarStrings2 ай бұрын
They both sound great (and similar). To me the Gibson sounds fuller, especially on the neck pickup. The Heritage sounds a little bit clearer with more pronounced high frequencies. To my ear, I prefer the Gibson, but I do think that in a full song the Heritage might actually sound better. It's tough to say though, at least for me part of the Les Paul thing is that big big sound. I will say, It might be possible to adjust the pickups and get a bigger sound.

It would be interesting to add the custom buckers to the Heritage and compare now that Gibson sells them.
@jburdsinfuse Жыл бұрын
Heritage makes wonderful instruments…BUT…resale is a thing. They drop about 40% and stay there. An R9 just doesn’t. My LP Classic is worth twice what I paid for it. And the sad thing, Heritage gets nothing from a used sale. If you buy new, it’s strictly to support a boutique builder.

you can find deals on Custom Core's here and there... i know it's just reverb, i'm sure there are better deals if i really searched, but i just ordered a new one for virtually the same price as the cheapest used custom core, period, on there. Now, i'll have 30d to decide if i wanna keep it or look for an R8 VOS from the last few years, w the unpotted custombuckers... if i keep the heritage i'll have to grab a set of unpotteds, which will run anywhere from 350-550, tho i kinda doubt i splurge to the top end of that, and the best of those tend to sound a bit more articulate than the custombuckers imo... either way, beautiful guitars... i prefer the plain top to the flame, else i'd love to find a 59 VOS, just for the neck.. i just can't do the flame every day... unless it's subtle enough that it costs like $10k, when i think i'll prefer just picking up the R8 for hopefully ~$3500-4000 used. we'll see!

I got the Heritage H-150 Tobaco burst from the early 90s. I purchased it because it was 2.8k vs 4.8k for a Gibson Les Paul standard and i found you get the better value for money with a Heritage. I always liked the unplugged sound of that guitar with the strongly vibrating body. However there are things that i didn't liked, the longer i played it., the more it sucked. Back then, the guitar came with Schaller stoptail piece, roller bridge and pickups. I changed it all , including the tuners, in order to get closer to a 59 Les Paul. The tone of the Guitar changed quite much with every mod. Today i like is as it is and would not want to change it for a new Les Paul.

The difference is as subtle as playing two of the same guitar from either company. I’ve owned Gibson Historics that sound just like that Heritage. No complaints here. We all consider resale, and GAS is a cruel master…LOL…but if you’re buying one of these with no desire or intent to sell it / flip it down the road, the Heritage is a clear winner here. I swap pickups in my Historics, why wouldn’t I do the same in a Heritage? Put Throbaks in either guitar, and it’s a better instrument…which is saying something because they’re both fine as-is.

Both sound very nice. I didn't watch the video and just listened and found myself favoring the Heritage sonically. It was a tad darker. The Gibson was a tad too mid-rangey for my taste. Even if the Gibson did nudge out the Heritage, which it did not, it would not justify being worth an extra $2k. Plus Heritage isn't suing everyone and their brother or putting a creep like Agnesi out as the face of the company.

I have owned a bunch of different model Gibson Les Pauls and one Heritage H-157 Ltd. ( 40 of 40 )with P-90's......My Gibson Slash Anaconda and my Custom Shop Historic Special were my favorites....The Heritage was absolutely beautiful , but I think it boiled down to pups and feel of the neck....The Slash SD pups are my favorite and the Custom Shop Special neck is my favorite ( I know everyone likes a different tone and feel of the neck , so it's subjective of course ). As far as build, The Heritage and Gibson Custom Shop take the top honors. They both just felt solid and well crafted ..... I have had some Gibson duds too. One standard would be great and another did nothing at all for me.

The R8 is the winner for me because I even chose that over the R9. The Heritage here sounds different then the R9 and that's good on it's own.

Being from Michigan, I love Gibson (own 3) and Heritage. However, the Gibson just looks better, plain and simple. I do not like the way the Heritage cutaway looks and that pick guard is terrible. I know WHY they did it that way, but it still looks like a knockoff Gibson LP. Both sound incredible though.
@JHKNVY028 ай бұрын
Heritage are made in Kalamazoo in the old Gibson factory by many of the previous employees when Gibson left…on the old equipment. Gibson is gone from Michigan. So if you want a guitar made in your home state, in the Gibson factory by Gibson employees, that's Heritage. You can also replace the pick guard with an aftermarket that looks the same as Gibson. If you've tried the Heritage you may actually like the ergonomics (visual aside) as I think it rests on your leg a little better and easier to play.
