No Sales Equals No Company

I just see a lot of wasted energy being expended on claims of quality issues with guitars that likely were purchased used years ago.  There, perhaps wisely, has been no rebuttal or effort to restate.

An effort is made to equate quality as the singular factor accounting for all hits to the bottom line, grossly discounting everything else that would belong in the equation.

I have to ask myself why would someone make such claims and come up with competition in manufacturing or social forums, ignorance, and imbalances.

Truly in the back of my head, I see the whole thing as someone wanting to initiate dialogue to either liven up the place out of their own self boredom/importance, or to test marketing preferences in brand loyalty.  In either case, I would not expect a distractive panic in the sheep against a series of one-off incredulous statements.

 

Oh, and "Bad Dan!!  Bad!!"....   there I'm done. 😜

Huh? Was this AI generated? Pretty sure Heritage hasn't made a Sweet 16 for about 10 years now, so I have no idea what this thread is about. Yes, Jay Wolfe was and is a Heritage dealer. He was pretty much THE dealer for a while, and also one of the main dealers of G&L guitars. However that is fairly outdated information, and Heritage is now carried by many dealers, small and large.

One other thing to note on the original photo is residual buffing compound on the f hole edge.  That is easily removed but should not have come from the factory that way.  Years ago it slipped by sometimes.
