Good folks round here enoughing of the flamming lol i know there been many QC issues ie tailpiece stud, fretboard dents & marks, neck pickup ring installed 1mm away from the neck leaving a gap between neck and neck pickup ring, off guarded truss rod covers.... surprisingly it happened on mine.. but luckly these could be addressed as i manage to take out the tailpiece well, and be installing a new one straight, steaming the fretboard dents away or rather less of the marking could be seen....
But all these happenings here is Heritage really up on the game of quality control? Better or still da same or gets far worst?
