Just wanted to say a quick 'hello' as a new member and (pending) new Heritage owner. I'm typically more of a lurker than a talker on forums, but here goes:
My handle refers to the fact that I've been focusing on playing bluegrass banjo over the past few years, but guitar was my first instrument. I currently have a vintage (Gibson-made in Kalamazoo circa 1963) Epiphone FT-45 Cortez that originally belonged to my dad and was, in fact, the guitar I learned on. It's pretty beat up but sounds nice and has great sentimental value. I've also got possession of my brother's Gibson L6-S solid-body electric. Alert readers will notice that I have thus never actually bought a guitar, so after a lot of research I took the plunge and purchased a Heritage H-535 25th anniversary (Tobacco / Old Style burst, depending on who you ask). I got it from Wolfe based on the recommendations I read here and John in the TN store has been a real pleasure to work with.
The anticipation is killing me - the instrument ships today so I've got a couple of days to wait...
