Heritage Guitars know how to take care of their customers. I had a H-150 which had a neck problem which I could not resolve in the year I had it, I reached out to their dealer and they replaced the guitar with a new H-150 with no questions asked and that guitar was on a whole other level compared to the old one. The fact that they value their customers is enough for me to buy a Heritage over any other comparable product.

I'm in a rural area that has a single music store with way too much selection for this area. That is, they are pretty large. I'm a bass player and finally am thinking of picking up lead guitar, so I checked out my old favorite web site, Rondomusic, and found that their selection is not what it used to be, but the prices are still similar, though they don't have as many "cheap" guitars. I haven't looked there for 14 years, so that was surprising. Anyway, I was talking to the guy at our local store and I was commenting on current pricing, because his prices were quite a bit higher than the internet prices. He immediately said that they match internet prices. I like to keep the money in the area so I'll be purchasing there...

One of the best examples of working musicians wanting more of the same thing in their guitars they actually use is Bruce Springsteen. In a show he might play four or five different Telecasters (in different tunings or setup to have capos at different frets), but they all currently have Joe Barden Danny Gatton pickups. He could have literally anything he wants, and he basically just chooses to play very minor variations of the exact same thing.

[@sgt.gruhnn]

The thing is, when Bruce plays ifo 15-20,000 people in a mix with 7 other musicians, no one can tell if he’s strumming a 800.00, 2500 or 4500 dollar Tele

My first acoustic was a used 1972 Ovation with a hairline crack on the top. I still have it but the crack has only grown. I used that as an excuse to buy my second, a beautiful D'Angelico EX-63 archtop. Next was a Hummingbird, an Epiphone "Inspired by Gibson" that is my favorite. I cannot imagine a Gibson could sound any better for 2-3 thousand more. I think an Enya carbon might be my next.

[@randallcl9925]

You described me perfectly again. Owned about 20 electric guitars, wasn't really interested in acoustic then grabbed a Gretsch Jim Dandy when on sale for $150. Now that JD sits on the couch next to me and I grab it more often than any of my others.

[@MrLegion501st]

I am one of those wanting one of each, having an SG, an LP, two Strats, wanting a Tele, a Super Strat, a Casino, a semi-hollow, a hollow-body, a PRS, a Gretsch, a Jaguar, a Jazzmaster, I mean, you name the model I probably want one and have many on the wanting list, you know, some day. But only having one acoustic, recently replaced a Fender CD-60 to a mahogany GS Mini and wow, I sometimes spent way more time on that little one than I do on the electrics. Probably will get a full size acoustic, who knows.

“Set up” is such an ambiguous term ranging from setting the guitar to factory specs to nut work, polish, fret sprout, ect. There is value to a great set up, but in my area, I can do it (thanks to Phil) with better results than my local “techs.”

[@demian113]

A lot of gigging musicians do stick to 1 or 2 guitars, but for my cover band I usually bring 3 or 4 so I can quick swap between different tunings and to have a backup. Usually 2 tuned to standard and one in E flat and sometimes a 4th in drop C. We play a broad range of songs and our gigs are 3 to 4 hours of music so having a variety keeps it interesting for me and I think guitars should be played. My main is a CE 24 with a strat as its backup then a custom 24 in E flat/drop C#, then an Ibanez for drop C. I do rotate a les paul, a PRS hollowbody, and a V because why buy guitars if they just sit around collecting dust?

My complaint with Fender noiseless pickups are that they are quite low output. I have N3s in a strat and I actually like the sound very much, but I have to make the amp work more. Mind you I mostly find that they work well for clean rhythm and you get excellent clarity. That said....very quiet in comparison to Ceramic and regular strat PUPs.

[@honkytonkinson9787]

Hey Phil, I thought this story might interest you. I got a 5150 III 212 combo for 500$ at a 4th of July sale. It's the first gen with the 6l6s. I think it was sort of a mistake. I think they didn't realize it had been in the store long enough to qualify for such a huge discount. But then I was at their counter asking to buy it according to their own sale, and they honored it. I had store credit from selling them pedals that I actually made a -profit- on because I bought them used really cheap. So it basically cost me 250$ + a couple pedals I bought used that I didn't want anymore. It felt like the greatest day of my life lol. There's more to the story involving a disappointing traynor amp I returned, 113 degree heat index with 100% humidity and 12 hours driving with no AC. A very k middle aged lady that looked sort of like Nancy Botwin. All in all it was a roller coaster, but very much worth it. Once I finally got home with my amp I was the happiest person alive. I'm probably about to go lick it. I never thought I would get to own an amp like that again without doing something a least slightly financially irresponsible.

The pick guard shape I guess can grow on me, just so used to seeing the one’s on Gibsons I suppose. I believe the Heritage models have long neck tenons and they certainly seem to be built very nicely. For me, the jury’s still out on that topic if it actually makes a difference regarding longer sustain though, I think sustain just varies from guitar to guitar like so many other things. 🤙

Measure everything ten times before you start drilling. If you can find a template, that would be best.. Be prepared to fail on the first attempt, and refill the holes. You may be able to swap the bridge first, and drill down for the initial holes, then drill and countersink the bottom of the bass.
