Thanks Mark

It won't have QC dates, but in that period, the serial number tells you when the number was assigned. 1994 should have a K serial number. The five digits of the serial number encode the day and order of manufacture for the guitar. The first group of three digits represent the days remaining in the year on the day the guitar was completed. The last two digits indicate the build order on that day. For example, a guitar with a serial number of B35012 can be decoded as follows: B: Year built is 1985 (a rare find, indeed!) 350: Built on the fifteenth day of the year (365-350=15) 12: The twelfth guitar completed on this day Unlike bolt neck guitars, you won't find dates in a neck pocket, or written in the pickup routes.

Thanks so much to whomever pulled off the rescue!

Apologies for the extended outage. The server decided to crap itself. As it's located in NY and I am not, we were at the mercy of the supplier's "onsite support." Which turns out to be "not onsite." Always an adventure, but eventually a new system was spun up and a wonderful time was had restoring backups, fixing service configuration (or services missing completely) issues. There are a few minor, niggling issues to run down. Hopefully, nothing that impacts the community. Be well!

Good to see the site back up and running. There are lots of us that missed it. Hats off to whomever did the recovery.

Take the control panel off in the back, and it usually has a sticker behind it

I know a few people on here, lost their mind and contemplated suicide…..

Banned!!!!

This from the guy that never logged into the site!!!

Looks like my 555

Thank you to all involved. I sometimes imagine the Wizard of Oz is hiding behind the curtain pressing buttons and throwing levers to keep this going.

Hey all, new to the forum. I have a 1994 H-140 coming in the mail as we speak. Getting into the Heritage lore through this forum. Is anyone aware of whether Heritage guitars have any inspection markings (e.g. initials, or stickers showing QC dates, etc)? Thanks

To quote an old song "O Happy Days".

Thanks John.

Received this when the sight was down. Honestly underwhelmed. I would have thought Heritage would have done some more special items on it. I have already talked to Custom Inlays about doing a few additions to it. I'll make it Special.

And just in time. I amost bought a Gibson......

And many,many thanks to the HOC technical team!!

Yes, we are back and a server was replaced that used an off-shore supported source.

Just checking to see if we are back and what might have happened?

Great to see!

Back up! Good news.

It's good to see the HOC back online. Thanks, Mr Admin, for all you do.

Does exactly what it claims to do. Super transparent overdrive. Simple - three dials, no fuss. Works best at 18v. I’ve got it in front of my Lovepedal Blackpanel Deluxe pedal. They sound great together. Or i can use either as an always on. Trying to decide which one. Great combination. I think i like the Lovepedal always on, then use the Lightspeed to push it sometimes, but i’ll keep tweaking and see how it plays out. Excellent pedal.
