skydog Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 The Heritage Website should list what pickups, pots, jacks, frets, tuners, etc are used on each and every model. It is sorely lacking in information. Does anyone know what is standard with regards to the above. I realize the pups might be out of the question as they are mixed up pretty well throughout the line. But what about the rest of the parts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul P Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 My impression is that since they'll put together just about any kind of guitar you want there isn't much point for them to specify a particular configuration as being standard. What would it mean ? I think with Heritage you have to do your homework beforehand and know exactly what you want. This way there'll be few surprises, or questions like "what kind of pickups do I have, anyway ?" Paul P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitArtMan Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Well considering the G word lacks the same information on their website, I think Heritage is up to date. There's no doubt the website would benefit from a major overhaul. I think it would benefit by possibly listing standard features and standard options, but they are a custom shop and in most cases anything is possible.

dblazer Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 My opinion is the best way to get Heritage information is from Jay Wolfe; he knows what they have or will make available, and can usually tell you what the best combination of things is for any particular use. He's fair, he's got more "juice" at Heritage than anybody else I know, and he's honest and helpful. And no, he doesn't pay me to say that, ;D I've found it to be true over the last 7 or 8 years.

Kazwell Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 There website could stand some improvement. There is no doubt, however, unlike most companies, if you have further questions, you can call them directly and ask questions about specifics. Based on my past experiences, they will be happy to answer your questions. One thing I really like about Heritage is that the guys that run it are the same guys that answer the phone and the reason they are still there is because they love doing what they are doing. I imagine most all would have retired years ago if they didn't. They love guitars and love talking guitars. The very same reason folks like us are on this forum 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chico Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I predict major changes in the Heritage website. Look for a complete re-do. They are already starting to take down some of the old text. Just my guess. I'm sure the new President will be more web-saavy, the web is THE place for Heritage to market itself... Wish they'd hire me to administer it....lol Chico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grayta Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I predict major changes in the Heritage website. I'd hope so. The content isn't horrible (there are companies with far less info on their sites), but the look, layout and functionality are hideous. They need to hire a geek on contract and fix it!

dharmafool Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 The Web site is pretty embarrassing. Worst among all of Heritage's competitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
