ElNumero Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Nice booth, and dig the Circle H. Makes for a nice tattoo and window decal (hint hint) and a Boogie combo to play them through.... jus' sayin' I been threatening to get a Heritage tattoo for a while, now it is sealed and done, a Circle H is to be!

golferwave Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Great looking axes! I also like the new circle H brand on the headstock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitBlues Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I think the new logo is a mistake. They've taken a bit of class away from the brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Seacup Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 The Circle H logo is a nice design. I just don't like it on the guitars. Maybe I'll sit quietly for a while and ponder why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spectrum13 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I been threatening to get a Heritage tattoo for a while, now it is sealed and done, a Circle H is to be! That would look cool if you sport it Charlie Manson style. Your headstock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
111518 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Yep Here's why... for me, anyway. The Gibson/The Heritage on the snakehead headstock --there was a connection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLDTEX Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I think the new logo is a mistake. They've taken a bit of class away from the brand. The script logo is my favorite. Maybe if it was smaller. It won't make me order a new one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobokenheritage Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Lose the circle or make it smaller - I always loved the script logo for its timelessness. This looks like the logo for an upstart craft brewery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitBlues Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Now to be a bit more positive, I think the floretine cutaway option is absolutely killer. I like the CAR finish too. If Heritage was to do one thing to change their headstock, I'd say drop silkscreen and opt of inland only. Not that big H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kzoolou Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Love the florentine cut away! Always liked the G137 style for that reason and really like the size of the Millie. Is the inlaid script logo still going to be an option or is that gone from the lineup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalismanRich Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I'm not a big fan of the circle logo at this point. It seems to make the headstock look too tall. Maybe a touch smaller would work better. The Mille Pro, on the other hand, is spot on! Florentine cutaway, dual f-holes, selector switch moved to the top bout, I like the slightly better upper neck access. If I were looking for a new Heritage, that would probably be the way I would go.

goSteelers Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 The ones with the pointy horns -- are those just variations of the Millie, or are they built with kerfing, like an ES-Les Paul? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidsmoke Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 one thing about the brand (i'm shortening this for convo purposes....it looks like a cattle brand) It'll be a quick dating mechanism. the first 30 or old smokestack, and the new blood, new smokestack.

schundog Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Forgive me if I am wrong, but my understanding about the H headstock is that it is specific to some custom orders, specifically Millieniums. Let's not get our panties in a bunch that the sky is falling. Personally, I don't love it or hate it, but I do like that the new regime is experimenting with some new ideas.

bolero Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 those florentine millies are great looking guitars thanks for the pics & updates, Guy! I prefer the script logo myself. But the circle looks ok in that pic Fred posted, the red one beside the Kalamazoo amp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolero Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 ps is it me, or does the H150 hanging in the center of this shot look like a smaller version? OSB with matching headstock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
111518 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Let's not get our panties in a bunch that the sky is falling. Personally, I don't love it or hate it, but I do like that the new regime is experimenting with some new ideas. I'll be brief and lay it out straight (pun intended.) The guitars in the pic from NAMM are beautiful, and I agree that most of the design tweaks I see are thoughtful --for example, not just a florentine cutaway, but a really open one. But, the reality is that the new business model completely prices me out of new guitars of this brand, however that brand appears on the headstock. When I ordered my 535, I could get a new, custom spec'd, Heritage semi for approx. the price at the time of a used 335. Maybe that pricing structure was unsustainable economically on the supply side, but it worked on the demand side, certainly for me. Now, there's not much point in my commenting on the new models --and I'll try to heed that reality going forward-- because the new price/retained-monetary-value ratio(at least as I would predict it) means I'm permanently on the sidelines of this game. YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuz Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Sorry to pile on, but I hate the BIG H circle logo on the headstock. I LOVED it on the shirts from PSP, but not on the headstock. My preference would be bound headstocks with mop script "The Heritage" and maybe the circle H logo on the back of the headstock. The first thing I thought of when I saw the circle H headstock logo was this...... (and I am not at all a fan)..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuz Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 For me, the classic VSB double cutaway Millie with the bound headstock, MOP script "The Heritage" and diamond MOP inlay is the class of that group. Gorgeous guitar!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidsmoke Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 to quote MM's post, he, as a dealer, calls it an option. In which case, you as the buyer can opt out. How about a new Heritage headstock options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffB Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 They look great. Fine looking guitars. Wouldnt mind being among them instead of looking at pics thats for sure. Put me in the "I fear change" category. I dont like the logo. But I was only vaguely aware of the headstock shape and colour of my H150 when I bought it. Neither had any factor in the purchase. Probaly took about two weeks before I really took in the aesthetics of it. The logo may be a thing that other people like. I can see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Seacup Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I would buy a couple dozen golf balls1 with the circle logo on them. Then I'd proceed to lose them all on some of the finer courses in Mid- and Northern Michigan. They would also need to have the factory website URL on them. Guerrilla marketing. On a positive note, that Millie DC, bottom row second from left, is beautiful. It makes me miss the one I had and foolishly sold (to someone here...Mark?) years ago. WTF was I thinking? 1Off-Topic: I really like those Nike RZN Red golf balls. Too bad Nike is getting out of the golf business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
