Heritage Guitar Factory Tour 2018 

No need to apologize. Thanks for the killer video but dude you took a tour through a factory with machines. Shit is noisy. No way around it. Cool video. Plus you shot the shit with the employees. We never get that with other factory tours. Cool stuff.

Audio is fine!! Don’t let the internet bully you. Cool to see the tour and the people apart of it. Love the video!

Nice they are awesome!

yep! People need to support american production more than they do.

Theo Berliner no, people should stick to quality. When Americans make better products, they’ll see the sales in return. Great example: American pickups.... can’t touch Toyota lol

@@70mjc Well I guess it’s good that Americans make the best guitars anyway.

In comparison to what it looked like before, yes. Not nearly as clean as either Taylor Factory.

Nice me too!

Yes Yes Luscious Ebony - My order is going to have no inlays!

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST GUITAR I HAVE EVER OWNED ( I'VE Finally got "The ONE!" ) 👍🙏🙂❗

dude you have a Gibson in your profile

Haha this was a while ago when I was but a wee lad

Hi Walter, sorry it's taken so long to reply, I've been in and out of hospital the past few weeks for an op that caused a few issue's. To be honest Im probably not in the best position to answer you really. I'm from the UK and Heritage guitars are few and far between over here and I'm not up to date with the activities going on over there. The (then) sole UK importer who I was quite friendly with a few years ago (and got my two Heritages from) used to pop over to Parson street pretty regular and he knew the four main guys pretty well though so he used to tell me a few of the stories and news. He got wind of some of the changes that were going to be happening about three years ago and ended up letting the dealership with Heritage go. He was really friendly with the guys there decided to call it a day when Heritage were getting new owners. I've lost touch with him now too and as far as I know, there isn't an importer in the UK now, just the odd Heritage on eBay now and again. I keep looking now and again at the developments of the old factory on the web but there isn't all that much to find that's why I keep a bit of a look out on the forum. I must admit though, I do love the two I have and can't fault them but I have too many other guitars too so keep picking up a different one just to have a change.

God you’re dumb lol. Italy invented guitars 🤣

Yes. Unlike a gibson les paul a heritage doesn't have tuning that's E A D Gb B E

Claudio Trajtemberg hey man you definitely do get handcrafted instruments with Heritage. They do not come off a assembly line. I know the master guitar builder there and several of the workers. It’s as genuine as it gets in 2019. The only machine they use is a plek machine for setting up the frets which is far superior than human hands. They are more Gibson than a Gibson. I love mine!

Your right Claudio, they are now assembly line....go watch one of the older videos of Heritage guitars.It shows the factory,in around 2010,basically still looking the same as it did in 1959, with the original builders of the 1955-1960 les paul,still alive and working with simple machines.These men then sold the company,in 2016 and the new owners then fired alot of the original craftsmen,and then updated the workshop.you can read about it.They turned it into Gibson!!!!! Yay!!!! State of the art!! Rich dummys as eddie murphy once said

@@historiclp4577 Interesting read. I would still buy a Herritage though.. great guitars. Do you have a source of some sort? Thanks

TJ Nugent fat necks > all, period

I've heard some horror stories from a former worker at Heritage, who says the quality changed drastically after 2014. I've known a handful of folks that worked for Gibson, and then Heritage. I don't believe any of the original Gibson workers are still there anymore. I've heard some great first-hand stories from folks who met Carlos Santana, Roy Clark, Peter Frampton, BB King, at the factory.

@Better TV Reception WITH Foil Fedoras! I'd read where there were significant xhanges after 2018 when the original workers retired. I don't have any idea where the 2014 number cones from. Since Heritage and Harmony are now owned by a Singaporean conglomerate. Another point is that the average worker has been at Heritage for 24 years. Gibson can't make that claim, certainly most of those workers were trained by the original 3 who started the company. The original 3 had been at gibson since the 50s. Training by guys who built the original LPs is also something Gibson employees cannot claim.

STEEL ROCKS after Gibson paid a HUGE fine. Shoddy guitars and unethical farming...yet another reason to avoid Gibson

It’s so loud in there and all I had with me was a GoPro

@@JLFulks for a Gopro microphone is still pretty good! Without a dedicated mic it's impossible to get better results. Thank you for your video, very interesting

Matthew Bulloch they couldn’t be easier to buy. Get money > buy guitar. How tf do you get your guitars? Lmao😭

@@70mjc I save 5 grand and ask for a guy to carve it. ? No. I drool.

@@70mjc if ypu have 3000£ to buy a solid piece carved es style well done. I wish it was easy to get them for fair £. Or what is affordable. CNC i wouldnt mind if was from one piece!

@@70mjc you need your ass to talk. Careful laughing tgst off.
