It's clean as long as you don't pay any attention to the tobacco, whiskey, sweat, headstock repair and fret wear. hahahaha I got a chuckle out of that. Welcome!! Welcome!!! Good looking guitar!

Welcome!

Welcome! That is a great looking guitar!!

Very good! Welcome!

hahaha Welcome both of you.

Welcome Roy! 535's are awesome! You might try asking the club here if anyone has any recomendations for luthiers or good PLEK operators who can work on your guitar.

I hope you already feel welcome by now. That is a great Heritage guitar you bought recently!

It is time for Rolling Thunder again (tomorrow). Kinda like the Superbowl of motorcycles for the Washington DC area. This is where half a million motorcycles from around this country, Canada and other countries as well descend upon our nation's capital for "The Ride to the Wall". Meaning we ride as an organized group to the Vietnam Veteran's memorial in Washington DC. The event is a protest, a demonstration with the point being that we remember those who served our country during a time of war and never returned home, and to demand that our government achieve 100% accountability of all those who are prisoner of war (POW's), missing in action (MIA's). Even now, Sgt. Bowe R. Bergdahl was captured in 2009 and is American's only known living Prisoner of War in Afghanistan. We remember our soldiers and we want them returned to us.

Is there a number 2 on the back of the headstock?

Rock on!

Hi Carter, welcome! Yes, navigate to the appropriate category and then use the search field at the top of the page to search that particular section. Try to use relevant key words individually for better results.

Welcome Rod! Yes, it is possible to have your visible "handle" changed. Pick a good one and leave it that way so people like me won't get too confused. Greetings and welcome Alec!

SRV is said to have used some REALLY fat strings and legend has it that those fat strings contributed to the tone he got out of his guitar. Zakk Wylde signature strings are so fat that they are practically bass guitar strings and the nut of the guitar needs to be re-cut so that they will fit. (been there, done that.) Dave Mustaine, Alex Skolnick... the list goes on; the names of guys who are said to be playing some REALLY fat strings on their electric guitars. But are the benefits of fat strings simply an urban myth? Over and over lately I have been running across video interviews where Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top has been telling and re-telling the story of how he met BB King who asked him, something like, "Man, why are you working so hard?" implying that those really fat strings make the guitar player work much harder than he should have to. So, Billy Gibbons took that advise to heart and begun to install thinner and thinner strings on his guitars. Right now he is down to 7's on his guitars. I've seen many recent performances by Billy Gibbons and I would have never guessed that he had such thin strings on his guitars. So my question to myself now is, Do I dare go to thinner strings on my guitar? Will people question my manliness if I were to install 9's on my big fat Heritage H157? Or 8's on my big beefy Les Paul? Would it be cheating to have a guitar that plays even more effortless than it already does now? If I ever do interviews for Guitar Player magazine, do I have to tell everyone if I am using teeny-tiny strings or do I just tell them that I've got a really big fat E string when in fact I really have a little tiny e string? Oh the humanity! Decisions, decisions! What to do!?

There is where I try to think of something which does not qualify as material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violative of any law.

This entry is clearly a hit and run post since the poster posted this the same day he joined and hasn't logged in ever since.

The Heritage Guitar company will not see this massage here. Contact the Heritage dealer you bought it from to express your complaint and see if they can fix it or just return it for a refund.

Welcome! Many of us will be in Kzoo this summer too. Maybe we'll see you at a PSP event soon!
