A big shout out to all of you HOC members that lurk in the background but don't post much!
You know who you are! But we don't.
The sole purpose of this thread is to send out a special HELLO! And to ask if you'll drop in and say something about you or your Heritage guitar. Consider this a kind of online HOC meet and greet...or even a Heritage-Aholic group hug.
OK, I'll start..."Hi, my name is Tim, but my friends here call me Gitfiddler. My favorite Heritages are (in no particular order): Sweet 16, Golden Eagle, H-555, H-150 and of course the H-157. I'd love to own a Millenium, but cannot spell it or afford one yet.
Alright guys and gals, YOUR TURN!
Who are you...and tell us something about you and your favorite Heritages! Let's see how many newbies or oldies will say HELLO! 8)

Hello, my name is Milt, from the motor city, I've just tuned in to this site and have been pretty impressed with the information on it. I have a question for anybody out there that can shed some light on this subject. I have recently purchased a Heritage red/orange sunburst 555, actually it was a gift. it plays quite well, but upon looking at the detail, I've noticed that the binding around the body has a blurring of some of the lines and there not symmetrical, I inquired at the shop it was purchased, and he said that this is normal, due to the labor intensive nature of the process, apparently it's a 5 day process, nothing is done on computers and that it is a 5 ply hand made process which will have some inherent irregularities, it's not immediately noticeable at a glance, but nevertheless for a high end instrument I wouldn't expect to see this. I called the heritage factory and he said this is a normal variation due to the old school way of doing this.., he said this sight unseen. I'm just concerned that my wife paid top dollar for a product, that might not be the best example of Heritage's best work. Any ideas comments.., suggestions.., am I being too anal??
