thorn Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I've searched Heritage on ebay (under musical instruments) and come up with 2,700 hits. Most of which are Heritage finishes from Gibsons. That's a lot of scrolling to find a few Heritage guitars. Clues, tips, or money sent my way would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtpatty Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I always type in Heritage Guitar H150 or Heritage H157 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royst Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I usually put the model I am looking for. I don't seem to have any problem a bunch usually pops up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davesultra Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Select "Heritage" the put -Gibson or -epiphone. That seems to narrow it down a bit. I also go into "Musical Instruments" then down further to "Electric". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorn Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 Another reason for me to learn the model numbers. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hfan Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Select "Heritage" the put -Gibson or -epiphone. That seems to narrow it down a bit. I also go into "Musical Instruments" then down further to "Electric". here's a few more "-"s to add: -Prestige guitar, -Celestion get your search term down then add to your favs and you can cruise Heritages every day there like some of us so afflicted.

Cajun Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I type in Heritage H. It misses a few (Prospects, etc.), but gets the most of the ones I am after anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnappi Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 To narrow it down I first get into the guitar category, then use: heritage guitar -gibson -epiphone -amp -celestion -book -magazine If you get more than a few other hits it will be unusual. Also using a model doesn't always work well. If you use H-575 the search engine "could" ignore other permutations. With the minus exclusion I doubt you'll get more than ~100 real hits. Finally if you use a minimum price at say $200 you eliminate pickguards and other accessories. I seriously doubt anyone is selling a guitat with a starting bid of $200.

tonedeaf Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Once you make an initial search, a side bar will open on the left side giving you more choices. On the one that says "Brands" click on "see all". An option pop-up will appear that lets you select most major guitar makers -- but not Heritage, so select "Not Specified" and click on "Go". This will get rid of the Gibsons and most of the guitars with "Heritage" in the description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HANGAR18 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Like the others mentioned above, I will begin adding the minus symbol ( -celestion -prestige ) to eliminate the results that I see which keep popping up which don't have anything to do with Heritage guitars. However, I use the search terms and minus symbol eliminations very sparingly because I don't want to accidentally eliminate Heritage guitars from my search results. For example I will search for the word "Heritage" but not "Heritage Guitars" because then an ad like Heritage H-150 will be eliminated because it doesn't have the work "Guitars" in it. (I'm under the impression that they use an "and search" and not an "any of the words" style search.) I also try to avoid model numbers because a computer things that H150, H-150 and 150 are three different things. If I had to pick one, I would go with just the 150 in the search, but then I might miss an awesome H150P somewhere. Likewise, I don't supply -Gibson or -InsertBrandNameHere just in case someone is selling a Heritage and they make a comparison to -Gibson or -InsertBrandNameHere. If the search engine sees the word Gibson in this example, then it will remove it from the search result and i won' tsee it, even if it is an ad for a Heritage H-150. YMMV... Your mileage may vary.

Millennium Maestro Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I have not done it for a while. I search Heritage in electric guitars, then select others as Manufacturer... Add words "prestige" etc as excluded words... Something like that anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No guitar can be appraised with any better accuracy without examining it in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17571 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Unless you want something extremely out of the norm and you have to order new, just be patient and shop used. You'll find lots of real nice, many in new condition, guitars (including 535's). Heritage makes one of the finest instruments you can buy, most owners take pride in them and are selling to buy another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
