What’s happening at Heritage on September 25th?

[MelodiusThunk]

I have now heard from numerous sources that there will be a major announcement made by Heritage on September 25th. I have also noticed that Heritage has discontinued the current iterations of the H300 and H335. Does anyone know what may be going on? I've heard rumors of a possible headstock design change. But those are just rumors and as of now are unsubstantiated.

I was at the Heritage factory three weeks ago, and I didn't catch any talk about anything happening on the 25th. Speaking of headstocks, though, I did notice that some of their new standard models are now sharing the same headstock design as those found on the Custom Core models. I asked Mike about that, and all he said was "yeah, many of the new models now have the newly-designed headstock." That's about all I've got.

They couldn't have discontinued the H300 and H335 because there are no 330 or 335!   

Are you thinking H-530 and H-535?   I just picked up an H-530 from the factory a month ago.   They had both types of guitars hanging on the wall of Ren's pickin' parlor.

There is definitely something happening on the 25th. Maybe they are changing the headstock designs of the 330 and 335 to the Custom Core designs.

Yes, I meant H-530 and H-535. I’ll see if I edit that in my original post (unfortunately, it appears I am not able to edit my original post. That being said, I think it is fairly obvious what was meant). The current iterations of the H-530 and H-535 have definitely been discontinued. I am not sure how picking one up a month ago or them hanging on a wall in a guitar shop refutes this fact.

They are coming out with a full acoustic flying V and line of banjos, or the bespoke program will be back.   My guess.

A flying V banjo would be pretty cool!

I was asking because I have two new H530s arriving tomorrow. If the headstocks are going to be changed, I want to refuse shipment.

I noticed that both the 530 & 535 are discounted when I was checking out the Dave's Guitar Shop site.
