I understand your post and have owned some of those less than perfect guitars.
I have also owned the same not so perfect guitars from Gibson.
I wish I had a dollar for every time Jim or Marv said to me there is no perfect guitar.
I am absolutely on board with the Original Heritage owners. Love the story and the people involved.
We've lost one of the original owners, JP Moats and the other founders are getting up in age and starting to show the signs of it.
I'm just glad we have this Forum to share some of their stories to the people who didn't get to know them like some of us do.
The new Heritage is a different animal from what we were used to. I still try to support them. Until I don't.
