michaeljames Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I have just spent the last couple of hours, on and off, looking at a Gi***n 2000 studio <emerald green!) and the H150 I have. I was comparing headstocks. I really don't understand why Heritage got such a bad wrap. Actually I think I know, I'm in marketing/advertising. Tell people what they want (or need) to hear and you have an audience! I think the Heritage headstock shape is much more lean and sexy looking than the Gi***n right next door. They are both GREAT ********** guitars! I wonder why?! hee-hee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolero Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 yeah I agree the earlier heritages have a thinner, longer headstock than the ones made post-2005 or so, not sure when they made the change I think the reason some people don't like them is the H150 body is such a traditional shape, when you put a smaller headstock on it it looks very different than what our brain is used to otherwise meh, who cares...just play the thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaeljames Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 I saw them in Milwaukee ~ oriental theatre in 1978 (late '70s anyhow) UNBELIEVEABLE! Hi Millenium Maestro ~ The White Whale! Looks like its home! I'm glad you haven't been calling me lately...I always lose $$$ hee-hee. What ever happened to that Yamaono Ebony LP with P90s? And the Greenie H535? Hope all is well there in Milwaukee! jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I think there's an extra 1/2" on the end of it to accomodate "The Heritage" that leaves it seeming a bit wrong in terms of my sense of proportion. But overall, I like it. To me, the open-book Gibson headstock looks a little stupid. What use is it to flare the tuning pegs out at the end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
