Hello my fellow guitar enthusiasts!
My name is Gene, and like Heritage guitars I am a product of Michigan. I grew up in the suburbs of Detroit, mostly Wayne, Westland and Inkster until joining the Army in 87. After 25 years as a Soldier and 10 years and counting as an Army Civilian, I call central Florida home now. It seems the only time I make it back to Michigan these days are for funerals.
Like many of you I am a guitar addict! I only have one true vice, and I'm fortunate to have a very understanding and supportive wife that at times is my pusher!
I'm a self taught guitar hack, inspired by my grandfather, a jazz musician that understood music, performing and the instrument. I consider my grandfather a guitar player. I tell people that I'm a guitar collector that plays songs. Maybe one day I'll be a guitar player as well.
Some of my best friends include Les, Leo, Taylor, Whitfill and Paul. My first Heritage was a 535, but it won't be the last. I'm looking to add a H-150 soon.
I'll be hanging out quietly if that's OK, lurking as someone put it. However, I'm not anti social, I'll chime in when the mood hits me.
I appreciate the welcome to the HOC! Hit me up with any questions, comments or even concerns you may have.
Take care,
Gene
