MY HERITAGE GUITAR FACTORY TOUR

Amazing guitars and all hand made...no CNC machines! Enjoy my private tour with Master Luthier, Pete Farmer.

THAT was very cool!! Essentially, where my 1973 ES-355 was born ...

[@larryyork1146]

my 68 -335 also.

[@jdl2180]

I have an H-530 and it's probably my favorite guitar

[@DennyJiosaGuitar]

YES...they are great! I have a 535 and H150 Core and absolutely outstanding instruments!

[@DennyJiosaGuitar]

I just purchased a Artisan Aged 535 that is one of the best guitars I have ever owned!

[@erneumann3136]

Truly works of art.

[@cromBumny]

Cool to see

[@MrWillywillmore]

Love the chaos, so much nicer than the Gison factories. Radio mic's are good...

[@aomoon81]

Awesome !!

[@allensaunders449]

Great stuff

[@oldsledpurgatory3595]

Cool to see where my 1985 H-120 was made so many years ago.

After playing three Heritage guitars, I’m getting ready to buy my first Heritage Custom Core H-150 and really appreciate this very recent factory tour of Heritage that you’ve posted. I saw someone post on someone else’s channel that Heritage started using more CNC machines on their guitars after being sold to their current Singapore owners, Band Lab in 2016. But apparently that person’s post was dead wrong since they use the CNC’s primarily on the Harmony brand guitars based on your detailed video. Thanks so much for posting!

[@DennyJiosaGuitar]

You are welcome! AND, you are correct , on the Harmony line they do. I can only say that I am in love with both my HERITAGE GUITARS that I purchased. The playability, feel, craftsmanship, and especially the tone is superior! Best of luck on finding your dream guitar.

[@jamesrusch7531]

You are totally they use the CNC on all their guitars now and discontinue the Kenny Burrell the golden eagle the Roy Clark the 550 the 525 the David Becker signature model the Kenny Burrell they only offer a stripped-down version of the 575, and the eagle classic and they use CNC operations on those. I don't know where you get your information I bought the second to the last 575 custom-made in 2017.. I ordered and had my guitar custom-made to my specs and worked with Randel wall and spent much time with him discussing these issues and purchase the guitar directly from the. You can do none of that now they are owned by the Chinese I don't know when this guy took his tour it says, and he is not telling her showing the truth

[@DennyJiosaGuitar]

@@jamesrusch7531 So, I just spoke with the head luthier. He informed me that the only CNC being implemented is on "rough carving 150 bodies and necks" , so, I stand partially corrected. Thank you.

[@jamesrusch7531]

Mr you are absolutely wrong about everything I spent days there when I had my guitar built in part by Randal wall I can't help this autocorrect nonsense keeps changing my and I am 100% correct that they discontinued their entire line of archtops except for a stripped down and a stripped down and they are now being built on a factory with very little of the of the handwork they fired half of their employees in 2018, and they were bought by a Chinese billionaire in this Singapore company is owned by by by him and all Chinese owned businesses etc answer to the Chinese Communist party but I digress the guitars are more cheaply using cheaper materials in less hand work you could not get them to build any of the old class you know I'm tired of this autocorrect stuff p let's just put it this way you don't know shitt and go fuc yourself😂​@Rovingdog628

[@jerryfraker377]

I think Tom Murphy is thinking about coming back here and working.

[@algorithm007ify]

No CNC machines used for Heritage USA guitars, which is great... They are only used for Harmony guitars, I've heard.

[@DennyJiosaGuitar]

That is true....they are wonderful instruments!

[@joellemaster998]

i love my 2009 h 150,its my faveorite guitar.. id love to have the new custom core though,down the road,maybe,i need a good stratocaster first!

[@billmiller5031]

How did you score a private tour? Fantastic opportunity. Thanks for sharing!!

[@DennyJiosaGuitar]

Hi Bill, thank you for your kind words. I recently became an endorser of Heritage guitars… And Pete and I are new friends. I played at the Jimmy Wallace booth for the Dallas International Guitar Show for Heritage last year , and ended up buying two of them! They are a fantastic company and really care about what they're doing… The quality is amazing!

[@billmiller5031]

Hi Denny. Thanks for the response. Been watching your channel now and loving your stuff. Notice you have a sweet PRS and history with Paul. I’ve got a 1998 CE-22 and your tour with Heritage has me obsessing over the H-150 which I saw you own also. Both are works of art but do you have a favorite? Thanks!

[@flagace4889]

Is this the same factory where my 1976 Gibson Gospel Dove was made in Kalamazoo?

[@hkguitar1984]

Yes, I believe it is.

[@flagace4889]

Thank you!@@hkguitar1984

[@hkguitar1984]

@@flagace4889 I was doubting my answer when your reply posted. Its possible your 1976 Acoustic was made in Nashville (for a time Gibson produced guitars in both locations. Does your Gibson have a label glued inside of the body, if I remember correctly it should state the build location. Below is from Wikipedia; Between 1976 and 1984, production of Gibson guitars was shifted from Kalamazoo to Nashville, Tennessee. The Kalamazoo plant kept going for a few years as a custom-instrument shop, but was closed in 1984.

[@flagace4889]

Yes. There is a sticker inside saying it was made in Kalamazoo. I knew that. But my question was more about if the Heritage Plant is the same building where Gibson used to be. I guess there is only one Kalamazoo plant.

A lot of background noise, the voice is not really good to understand and you put a background music to the Video…

[@DennyJiosaGuitar]

Well, I was in a FACTORY...guess what? there is noise. Do you feel better now that you had a negative opinion to share? Thank you.

[@jakepyrett1715]

Can you recreate the video without background music? You can't hear that well
