that is a beautiful website for sure.
I guess my point is that the guys at Heritage don't really seem to be trying to make a bigger name for themselves, and that could quite possibly be fine. I wouldn't doubt they are still back-ordered, and if you wanted something made you would find yourself in a queue . So maybe things are fine the way they are ?
I have certainly been lured in by good advertising, but that doesn't guarantee quality , satisfaction etc.
I like that Heritage is almost solely word-of-mouth. I think if you look at the Paul Reed Smith example you might get a taste of where things would go if the focus became something besides a bunch of old guys in an old factory who don't use computers. And that would probably be Asia. G&L as well. Which is fine, I guess, but not really what I'm after in a guitar
I feel this is where the mojo is. I feel like this is the kind of thing that we need more of in our modern lives......... artisans!
BTW , I realize the website could use a bit of something- at least in terms of what is available , at the very least - but I ask you - waht do any of us- including Heritage employees really have to gain from it? I'm not so sure.
Sorry, I'm feeling rather post-capitalist these days, with the economies and all.
also- I've been to Holland several times and find I love the whole culture- in a way I feel like Europeans understand something about quality that is often lacking here- I respect that and want the same for the US. To me , Heritage fulfills part of that sentiment.
my 4 cents
again .... wecome! ;D
