Yes... the photos are great.  Great post with some new details.  

And the "Rolling Stone" licensed destination info is fantastic too.  

 

Company owners say they are partnering with Rolling Stone LLC as they develop plans to incorporate a wealth of music and pop culture into their multimillion-dollar renovation of Heritage Guitar's 225 Parsons St. location.

The company is also partnering with BandLab Technologies, a Singapore-based music retailing and distribution company, to boost Heritage sales worldwide.

Privately held Heritage would not disclose sales figures but said it is focused on producing and selling six handcrafted guitars each day, about 1,500 instruments per year. That is up from two to three per day in 2015.

"We are excited to share that we are working closely with Rolling Stone, the most iconic name in pop culture for 50 years, and have a partnership agreement in place to develop a premium lifestyle offering at 225 Parsons," Jeff Nicholson, president of PlazaCorp Realty Advisors Inc., said in a prepared statement. "They share our passion for the location's history and significance and we are currently in an exploration phase to find operators for these opportunities."

There are some very ambitious plans for the building.... 

part of me is looking forward to the renaissance the 100 building will go through

part of me feels like the Heritage and all we've known and loved over the years to become sort of commercialized, water downed version of itself.

In all, I hope the charm and soul of what we know and remember is not lost in tourist attraction our beloved factory will become.

I share the same sentiments. Best of luck to the new owners of Heritage. Seems like they're going for kind of a variation of Sweetwater Sound Inc. I'd rather they just stick to making great guitars. "Que sera sera".

Hey Paul, nice looking lady you are with there!!  I wish I could have been there instead of trying to escape Irma. My buddy JL Fulks attended as well as Marty Fine who started the "Save the Stack Foundation".  The plans are very aggressive but its nice to see the face of progress without losing any of the history. If you don't change, you will never succeed!

Some more pics from the tour. These are from the Gibbons offices, the red bricked building just to the west. ce9f67926377cb4c461a377676b63ffb.jpg3f1c7b82d080e2f759de659785f1e857.jpg08a84a8f37e46169edcaadb7a877ee5a.jpg18ea05d0191676ebf4f9191ad622ef42.jpg300d474e83e3f71b8c9ecb4e8bf06aaa.jpg

 

Favourite was the wood sample room.

I'm looking at these photos again... 

No where on this is there a depiction of a production facility....

I hope this revelation is just an oversight and not a hint of things to come.

I see what you are talking about! It all begins with the making of Heritage guitars, right?
