Greetings from Calgary, Canada. It's just finished (?) snowing here and being kinda housebound allowed me time to buy a Heritage H575 Tobacco finish from Wolfe Guitars in Jupiter, Florida about 8 hours ago. Talked to Graham, the English guy, and he seems quite decent.
First of all, I've never played a Heritage, but did lots of research and it seems to be a go-to company. In some respects this is a huge leap of faith, as Calgary is as far away from Jupiter as Earth is, say, from Mars.
I'm a swing/jazz guy and have been playing all my life. I'm retired somewhat, as I'm teaching and gigging quite a lot.
I have an old Tele ('62) with a Strat neck pup, and both are heavily shielded and this guitar gives a decent tone. I've got a couple of old Martins, D21 ('57), 0018 ('36), 2 newer Strats, an old Guild Starfire V and I love neck and sound of it. What I don't like it's really heavy and hard on the back/shoulder after a few hours of playing.
As I'm new to this forum, there's lots I can learn, and hopefully contribute worthwhile information over time.
Great idea this Heritage Owners forum.
I know Mimi Fox plays a Heritage, along with many other players so I'm pretty stoked about getting this guitar. I've owned a couple of Gibson archtops, but got sold or traded them for one reason or another.
Thanks for the opportunity for this introduction.
