Hello Y'all. My name is Steven Tari and owned Gibson Family Guitars until here lately. My first guitar was a used KG-2A which I still own. My favorite is my Epiphone Zephyr Blues Deluxe. I just added a ES-339 to my collection of guitars but don't like the sound of the 57 Humbuckers on it. But I like the sound of the ES-339. So I decided to get Gibson to build me a ES-339 with the P-90's and wiring of the Zephyr Blues Deluxe. Being a member of the Gibson Forum's for a while I asked the other guys about how to get it done. To my surprise I was told it would take over a year to get it done and be very expensive, to look for another guitar builder to do it. The guys on the forum gave me names of a lot of guitar makers but they only made solid body guitars. I remembered about reading of when Gibson had left Kalamazoo some of there guitar makers had stayed behind and started a new company. So I did some research and found it was Heritage Guitars. Looking at there guitars I saw that they made a model like the 339 and was very happy. So i wrote them an E-mail and got in contact with Jay Wolfe who told me he could help get the guitar I wanted built. But then the big question came up could they put the 3 P-90's on it and Hook up the wiring like the Zephyr Blues Deluxe? I was hooked up with Ren Wall from Heritage He called my house and talked. He told me that everything I wanted on the guitar they could do and Hopefully have my new guitar by Feb. of next year. Man this made my year hearing this. So my new guitar will be like the Millinumm DC, Trans Black, Three P-90's (The center one reversed). Three Volume and One Tone Knob. All the hardware even the Knobs in Gold. And Case. So this will be my first Heritage Guitar.
I've been in the Gibson family for a while I've had two guitars stolen an Epiphone DOT and 12 string Hummingbird. The guitars I own still are a Kalamazoo KG-2A, Ebony Hummingbird, SG Robot, ES-339, Zephyr Blues Deluxe. I couldn't find another 12 string Humming bird so I tried a New company in the U.S.. So now I own a LAG 12 string Acoustic/Electric. My amps and P.A. system are Peavey and Keyboards and recording Equipment are KORG.
I've been told that I'm funny that way. Once something treats me right I stick with it. The one who told me that was my wife of 31 years. I guess she's right why change a good thing when it treats you right. Hoping for more Heritage guitars in the future. LATER // Steven
