Hello,
I bought my first Heritage at Smashing Guitars in Asheville, NC just this week. It is a 1999 Black Beauty H157 that has seen some wear. I took her home to Atlanta, cleaned her up and put some new strings on her. She plays like a dream! And she's heavy - which I know a lot of you like.
Funny things is, as I was leaving Asheville, I looked closer at the tag hanging from the case. It's from Maple Street Guitars - one of my favorite stores here in Atlanta, GA. I guess I'm bringing her home - or at least to one of the homes, she's seen. Funny world.
I have more guitars than sense - as my wife will tell you - and I am proud to add this Black Beauty to the collection. She joins several Hamers, a couple of Warriors (older ones), a couple PRS's an old SG Custom and a couple of Ricks. Good company. I can't play 'em all every day, but I do manage to get to them all in rotation. I'm sure the H157 will get a lot of play in the next few weeks. I've been playing, buying and selling guitars for over 40 years. I play in a rock cover band now and a pickup jazz trio on occasion. Long ago, I wrote my own tunes and my band did all originals. Don't write much anymore, but I still play. I've been studying jazz lately to expand my horizons.
I was glad to find the Heritage Owners Club and joined it today. I have questions, so I'll post them here later. In the meantime, Here's a pic of my Black Beauty.
