DetroitBlues Posted December 10, 2024 Posted December 10, 2024 There was some speculation at PSP when some eagle eye observers noticed some accoustics in the plant. Today Heritage “leaked” a photo hinting towards this possibility. What is not known is where they are made or if they are Heritage or Harmony.. (Assuming Heritage)..
PunkKitty Posted December 10, 2024 Posted December 10, 2024 They look like Heritage headstocks. We'll see if they are made in KZoo or Asia.
Spectrum13 Posted December 10, 2024 Posted December 10, 2024 Wow as Gomer Pile would say...surprise surprise surprise!!!
skydog52 Posted December 10, 2024 Posted December 10, 2024 They have listed openings for an acoustic luthier in their job listings. It has been there for a while. Not surprised.
bolero Posted December 10, 2024 Posted December 10, 2024 Harmony Sovereign is a pretty legendary gtr 1
TalismanRich Posted December 11, 2024 Posted December 11, 2024 Obviously building acoustic guitars wasn't a priority with the original company. I remember lots of discussions about someone like Godin making the bodies, and adding Heritage necks. SweeLee has a number of Harmony acoustics on their website, at prices similar to the Ascent guitars. That suggests to me that they are Asian builds. https://www.sweelee.com.sg/search?query=harmony&vendor=Harmony&product_type=Acoustic Guitars
Heritage1970 Posted December 12, 2024 Posted December 12, 2024 Still have my 1993 H-475. Incredible guitar! 4
bolero Posted December 21, 2024 Posted December 21, 2024 They should get Jimmy Page to endorse it, he used a Harmony Sovereign on the 1st Led Zeppelin album if I'm not mistaken. People go nuts for anything he's ever touched. I think even HE couldn't find stuff anymore, after talking about it.
TalismanRich Posted December 21, 2024 Posted December 21, 2024 In the picture posted on Facebook, you can see that the headstock does say Heritage. Interestingly, the headstock appears to have an outward flare.

bolero Posted December 24, 2024 Posted December 24, 2024 Well that would be even cooler if it was a Heritage acoustic. I just assumed Harmony for some reason, and the body shape looked similar
TalismanRich Posted December 24, 2024 Posted December 24, 2024 I did a bit of gamma correction to give a better view of the headstock itself. Now, is this going to be a commercial product, or is someone just making a personal guitar, or something to show at an upcoming NAMM show? Heritage has always done a bit of customizing for the shows to show their abilities. I wonder if NoSnowBlower has any insight. He seemed to have an inside track on things. 1
bolero Posted December 25, 2024 Posted December 25, 2024 Well that guitar was clearly built by "Henry" Or maybe it's "Heally"? "Heailly"?
