I got the same earlier today. I finally got logged in, and thought that maybe the site was being inundated with bots. When I looked at online users, it was me, and LK155 was listed at 24 minutes earlier. I'm guessing maybe the system has been rebooted? I'm not having an issue logging in, and I see 4 of us online right now. Weird!

I've been getting lots of these recently....

Damn. LOL! Thats terrible. Hah! I will probably get one

I am truly enjoying this guitar. Proportions make it very comfortable and playable. I’ve discovered what I’ve been missing all these years in a floating pickup. About ten years ago i played and fell for a vintage Guild Artist award with a Dearmond Rhythm Chief but it was pristine, blond and very expensive. Spending a few days now with my Sweet 16 i can tell that the immediacy and organic feel of the floating pickup that was part of why i loved the Guild so much. There was more to it, how the neck fit my hand, how the body sat just right in my lap and put the fretboard in the perfect spot for me…. This Sweet 16 is pretty close at less than half the price of the Guild (10 years ago). I’m ordering the Armstrong single coil today. We’ll see what that brings with it in terms of tone and feel. More to come…

I have had my Behringer Klon for about three weeks now and am blown away by it. I am not really a pedal guy as I use mostly digital FX but I could not pass up this one because of the price. Here is another interesting Klon shootout. Got to 37:22 for a real Klon vs. the Behringer.

Exact same issues. ???

Congratulations on your new 'Sweetie'! Play that beauty in good health. 👍

Yeah, I'm seeing that a lot as well, as soon as I try to access the site, long before clicking on anything.

It sometimes happens when I first try to log in. It also happened when I tried to save this post the first time I wrote it. I came back a half hour later and it took. Don't know how that would have gotten double clicks.

Some of the best Heritage archtops I've experienced have been the Sweet 16. The 575 is nice too, but the Sweet 16 with it's longer scale works really well. The Armstrong single is a super pickup. They have 7k and 11k options on tap. I've set them up with a small slider switch under the guard to make it selectable. Both settings sound and work good. The woods on your 16 are very nice. Enjoy.

Beautiful, enjoy.

Sweet! Congrats. That is a good looking guitar.

That's a sweet, sweet 16! Congrats on your NGD!

Very nice, congrats!

I believe it is caused by multiple clicks occurring before the last function has completed execution

I've been encountering a lot of errors when trying to access the HOC. I get the following message. Is this happening to anyone else? We're sorry, but a temporary technical error has occurred which means we cannot display this site right now. Too many connections You can try again by clicking the button below, or try again later.

One of their best sounding platforms. Congratulations on that Beauty!

That spring reverb is almost hall like!

A very special instrument arrived yesterday. My pics aren’t as good as Wolfe’s but,….so what. Plays wonderfully easy and sounds full and lush. Floating Heritage #3 pickup is good, maybe a little thin/bright for me on the high E and B strings. Kind of like a Joe Pass tone with amp at lower gain. A little more electric sounding at higher gain/volume, but still has more brightness, pick percussive sound and treble than my guitars with built in pickups. Even with a smaller body, the acoustic tone is still pretty full and bass is plentiful. The 25.5 scale neck adds a lot of snap and articulation to the sound. I thought I might miss some bass at 16 inches, but it delivers tight articulate bass on the low E and A strings. I’m very happy. I did notice a couple of small surface dings (not through the finish, and you really have to look to see them) that the guys at Wolfe may not have caught or worthy of note. But like i said - small and not noticeable unless you are really looking. Grain on the top is super tight, finish is beautiful and the back, sides and neck are all super flamey. The ebony board and bridge are gorgeous. The Heritage floater is fine (my first floating pickup and I love the way you get a completely different tone-feel than with built-in). I like it better than I thought I would, but I know what sound I am after (fatter, more organic), so I am going to put a Kent Armstrong single coil on it to get a closer to a Dearmond Rhythm Chief vibe.

I've been a fan since Heritage started up, and I lusted over the H140 when I was young, just never wound up buying one. I own two, a 98 H150, that was part of a dealer special ordered run. It came with Duncan 59's and a nashvile bridge and tailpiece, medium jumbo fret wire and no-nibs, at a time when the Schaller pickups and hardware was standard. I've played the HECK out of that guitar. I bought it used, a couple of years old, from the dealer who ordered them, back in 2000. I have a 01 H535 that I bought just a few years ago. I wasn't looking to buy anything, saw it hanging in pristine condition in lovely figured blonde, and the black dot on the pickup selector switch that meant it was HRW pickups. I picked it and acoustically, instantly it had "that" sound that I'd been searching for years. The sound that really good 335's have. I went home with it. I learned why it was pristine, it left the factory with a fretboard that was wavy as a roller coaster. Neck straight as an arrow, but somehow, the rosewood had not been leveled properly before fretting it, which is done before the fretboard is attached to the neck at the factory. I tried everything I could think of. But I gave up, pulled the frets, sanded and leveled the fretboard and re-fretted it. It's been absolutely perfect since then. A fabulous lifetime keeper. The moral of the story is that Heritage, like any human endeavor, sometimes did wonderful works of art and sometimes, let stuff escape the factory with an issue it should have caught early in production. You'll only know for sure if you play them.

Thanks! Reverb was on board on the Mesa Boogie Express 5:50+ that you see in the second picture above. Neck pickup. Lollar imperial low-wind. Cab is a closed back ported 2x12. Mic was Heil PR30.

Your song was how these are meant to sound. I know people talk about these archtops and rockabilly but I am a sucker for the classic lush jazz tone. Your reverb was nice. Was it a plugin or a pedal?

Very nice!

Pre-2016 is anyone guess. 80’s had thin D shape necks. 90’s were slim but rounded C shape Early 00’s got thicker necks but still used Schaller parts 2005 switched to Tone Pros and Seymour Duncan Pickups 2016- new owners 2019 - better quality consistency. 2021- big necks, excellent quality. 2022- Custom Core era begins
