ElNumero Posted October 3 Posted October 3 Who’s impressed with these? I am. Actually considered shelling out for one in bourbon burst but right now financially it’s not the right time. 1
bolero Posted October 4 Posted October 4 the finishes look good. It makes sense they have a different line based on slimmer neck shape & weight relief. Nice to have coil tapping stock too. from: https://guitar.com/news/gear-news/heritage-guitars-standard-ii-collection-h-150/ "The launch continues Heritage’s 40th anniversary celebrations, with 2025 continuing to be a “landmark year” for the brand. So far, Heritage has also notably debuted the Custom Shop H-717 archtop and the Ascent Collection: a line of accessible instruments designed to bring Heritage’s craftsmanship to a wider audience." "So Far" hmm I wonder what else we are in store for in 2025?

RJLII Posted October 5 Posted October 5 I always thought the Heritage neck carve was too skinny. I can't imagine why they would need to go smaller unless they thought the "entry level" (kids) market needed it. I agree with the move to make them lighter via weight relief.
TalismanRich Posted October 5 Posted October 5 I don't think the Standard II is an entry level guitar. They are basically the same as a standard. The Ascents are more entry level. So I guess, you have the choice of the Standard C (.88 to 1.0") or the Standard II 60s (.84 to .92) neck. The biggest problem is that not everyone prefers a fat neck. If you make them all baseball bats, the there will be folks like me that won't be comfortable. But DetroitBlues will be ecstatic! Were they bolt on necks, you can have 2 or 3 profiles, and then someone could choose their favorite. That's not possible for a set neck. I remember early on when G&L had about 5 different neck profiles, and if you ordered a guitar, you just told them which style you wanted. I think they even offered different radius and nut widths. Keisel still allows you to choose thick or thin, and 5 different radius options.
