StevenTari Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Hello Y'all. My name is Steven Tari and owned Gibson Family Guitars until here lately. My first guitar was a used KG-2A which I still own. My favorite is my Epiphone Zephyr Blues Deluxe. I just added a ES-339 to my collection of guitars but don't like the sound of the 57 Humbuckers on it. But I like the sound of the ES-339. So I decided to get Gibson to build me a ES-339 with the P-90's and wiring of the Zephyr Blues Deluxe. Being a member of the Gibson Forum's for a while I asked the other guys about how to get it done. To my surprise I was told it would take over a year to get it done and be very expensive, to look for another guitar builder to do it. The guys on the forum gave me names of a lot of guitar makers but they only made solid body guitars. I remembered about reading of when Gibson had left Kalamazoo some of there guitar makers had stayed behind and started a new company. So I did some research and found it was Heritage Guitars. Looking at there guitars I saw that they made a model like the 339 and was very happy. So i wrote them an E-mail and got in contact with Jay Wolfe who told me he could help get the guitar I wanted built. But then the big question came up could they put the 3 P-90's on it and Hook up the wiring like the Zephyr Blues Deluxe? I was hooked up with Ren Wall from Heritage He called my house and talked. He told me that everything I wanted on the guitar they could do and Hopefully have my new guitar by Feb. of next year. Man this made my year hearing this. So my new guitar will be like the Millinumm DC, Trans Black, Three P-90's (The center one reversed). Three Volume and One Tone Knob. All the hardware even the Knobs in Gold. And Case. So this will be my first Heritage Guitar. I've been in the Gibson family for a while I've had two guitars stolen an Epiphone DOT and 12 string Hummingbird. The guitars I own still are a Kalamazoo KG-2A, Ebony Hummingbird, SG Robot, ES-339, Zephyr Blues Deluxe. I couldn't find another 12 string Humming bird so I tried a New company in the U.S.. So now I own a LAG 12 string Acoustic/Electric. My amps and P.A. system are Peavey and Keyboards and recording Equipment are KORG. I've been told that I'm funny that way. Once something treats me right I stick with it. The one who told me that was my wife of 31 years. I guess she's right why change a good thing when it treats you right. Hoping for more Heritage guitars in the future. LATER // Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yavuz Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Hi from Istanbul, Turkey, My name is Yavuz. I am a jazz player. I own a custom Heritage H-575 that I purchased online when I used to live in New York. My Heritage is gold color so I cannot see what wood is the top but back and sides are carved maple. Fingerboard is ebony. It has only one pickup but I am not sure what kind? ( HRW?? ). I love the sound of this guitar since it has a lot more acoustic volume than a stock Gibson ES-175. I am not sure if it is solid wood or laminated body, but acoustically it satisfies my needs more than enough. Enough talk, here are some pics.... -- Yavuz Akyazıcı Guitar Player, Composer http://jazzblog.yavuzakyazici.com/ http://yavuzakyazici.net http://yavuzakyaziciproject.com http://facebook.com/...akyaziciproject http://twitter.com/yavuzakyazici Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Hi from Istanbul, Turkey, My name is Yavuz. I am a jazz player. Hi Yavuz, it's great to have you as a HOC member We love seeing Heritages 'in action' so thanks for the pics. There are lots of jazz lovers on the forum so you'll find plenty to talk about between that, your Heritage and anything else musical There are a few European members in the forum, I'm in the UK, but I'm pretty sure we have at least one other Turkish member.

zed Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Hi Per, another European member here, welcome to the HOC We'd love to see some pics of your 150 and hear the story of how you found it! Well,.... For a long time I wanted a guitar with P-90 pickups. So I went to the store, tried a few guitars and took a Heritage H-150. I think it was the best with one perhaps equally fantastic Gibson VOS Special 60th. In the store I got good service, some rebates and went home very happy with the guitar. I think that this is rarely a good guitar. I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COOTER Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Howdy HOC my name is Scott but my friends call me COOTER (I do a lot of work on classic cars , One of the origional General Lee stunt cars from The Dukes of Hazzard , That's where the name came from , not something I would've chose for myself but you're not suppose to give yourself a "nickname"...so , whadaya do?) I'm a bran-new member and owner of a 1999 H-150CM and am VERY impressed with your site , your trips to the factory and most of all the instruments. I've owned A BUNCH of other six strings but sense I've brought the Heritage into the house , it "MAKES" me want to play it. A very well made, easy to play , B-E-A- utiful work of art. I would love to own a 555 or some large jazz box but until I win the lottery , my kids grow up and get jobs , or find a incredible deal , I'm just going to have to be happy with the 150 for a while. Glad to be part of what appears to be a GREAT thing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
