What happened to headless kit build project ? Going to continue? Very curious to see what it ends up looking and playing like !
Darrell I think someone is impersonating you. Unless you use WhatsApp to get winners information and just added that account to UA-cam today.
@@GuitarsNAmmo it's called a bot. A common you tube hack that started maybe 6 months ago and has spread like wildfire. Sadly you tube admits to not being able to do anything about it.
I asked before and will ask again, please try out the Cort CR300
@@GuitarsNAmmo yes that's true, it almost got me about a giveaway and I was excited but I didn't do anything of what that WhatsApp account told me
As an owner of Gibson, Gibson Custom and Heritage guitars, I must say Heritage normally wins, at least in my opinion. It took me some time to try a Heritage but when I did I was blown away in every possible way. Great video, Darrell - as always. Cheers!
I own a Slash Anaconda 2 Epiphones and a Custom Core H150. The H150 is better. The Anaconda I do love, more rowdy, more metal. But the H150 finds itself in my hands more.
As an owner of 3 Gibson's and 4 Heritages, I can attest that Heritage is easily on par with Gibson. My H-555 with Seth Lovers will smoke any ES-335 I have ever played.
I own a 1998 Heritage H150 CM. When I ordered it I was able to speak directly to the guys in Kalamazoo to discuss some of the tweaks I wanted and they were happy to do. It was a hand built guitar and there was no question at the time that it was a far superior to mass produced Gibsons of that era. The fact that it was hand built still meant I had to make certain adjustments, primarily I had to replace the output jack, but overall it has been a great playing guitar that has, over time gotten better with age. It's heavy as hell as weight relief was not a thing back then, and now a days I only play it sitting down. But I will never buy a modern day Heritage Guitar. Why?
The original craftsmen, who were nearing retirement sold Heritage Guitar in April 2016 to a partnership that includes Archie Leach and Jeff Nicholson, co-owners of PlazaCorp Realty Advisors Inc and Meng Ru Kuok, CEO of BandLab Technologies. This guy made his fortune by destroying forests for palm oil. The founders guitar-builders are no longer involved in day-to-day guitar-building. The new guys promptly fired a bunch of builders and put in CNC machines. Heritage wants people to think that they perpetuate the old traditions and they know what this means to the guitar playing world but they're really just corporate hacks. Reviews like Darrell's, unknowingly, just add to this fake mythology. Don't get me wrong, Heritage makes very good guitars, cookie cutter flawless, but you're paying a premium for "mojo" that is carefully crafted horse pucky.
I've seen some of the Factory Tours. Comparing them to the Gibson factory tours...there are alot less CNC machines ar Heritage. So I tend to think you are the one saying "horse pucky"...
Thank you for the good info. I believe I would buy a Heritage used and make
sure it was 2015 or older.
Sounds like when Heritage was sold it went downhill fast.
You are partly right and partly wrong, I was to heritage in 2017 not only did I personally go to the factory but had my 575 custom custom made to my specs and talk personally with renwal and got to watch him and some of the older guys do the handwork with hand shaping of the neck, had my next done with a special nut with a 1 and 3/4 in verses 1 and 11/16, had them to a special emerald green finish and many other changes full body and neck binding change it to Larissa Grover imperial p had a finger tailpiece put on renwal show me his trick of putting spacers under the net picked up pick up to rise it, etc etc and a couple other of the older guys before they fired them all in 2018, I got the second-to-last 575 done this way. I was to the factory 5 *watching them filled my guitar. Now as of 2018 they are doing guitars the way you statedl so as of 2018 they cut out making all they're archtop except for a stripped-down version of the 575 and eagle using CNC and production methods and their quality is way down it is no longer old school as presented
I had an H-150 from the first year of the Heritage company and it was unfortunately stolen about 10 years ago at a show and never resurfaced. When I saw the custom core line I decided to finally replace it, and it is such an amazing single cut. I had 4 Gibson custom shop Les Pauls at the time, but in the past few months I sold all of them. Maybe I’m just more at home on the Heritage because I started on one, but to me it really outshone the Gibsons.
Visited the Heritage Factory last year, so cool to see that building.
This is a tough comparison. It would be more fair to compare this Heritage model to a ‘59 Reissue. Comparing a Standard Modern to a model that is trying to replicate a vintage guitar is like comparing apples and oranges. I realize you’re using the guitars you have, but in the future, it would help to compare either two vintage reissue models or two modern models.
Nonetheless, they’re great. I don’t think you could go wrong with either.
It would be interesting to add an Epiphone into the mix to see how it stacks up to these two options. Again, the models should all be comparable - all vintage reissues or all modern models with similar features and specs.
You also didn’t tell us which one YOU prefer! 😉
You can compare build quality and play quality. The sound is the part that us "apples and oranges"
Love the clear knobs and I like the Heritage head stock, both sound great, awesome playing as always.
I have many Gibson variations of the les Paul but the other day I stopped by a music store seeing and playing a heritage for the first time very nice H150 I just got my first one ordered
Great content as always.
Any chance you'd review a les paul type Vintage V100 vs a Gibson or Epiphone?
You're playing has definitely improved, sounds real nice
I like the heritage sound, with 'distortion' sound more neat, you can hear all the strings played, just to mention, The Heritage have Seymour Duncan 59, and this is the reason of different sound...
no sir. those are not Duncans. this is a custom core h150.
those are proprietary 225 Parsons st pick-ups. still a little wax but much brighter than the Duncan 59s from the older heritage standards.
though they put throbaks in an h150 i ordered before as well.
Hey Darrell, do you have a posted photo-gallery of your guitar collection? You have some of the most visually perfect guitars I've ever seen! Both Les Paul's look fantastic, but the Trans Blue Les Paul is just Stunning! Even your Epiphone Special Edition Quilt-Top looks Amazing! Thanks for sharing!
I love that Heritage Custom Core. When you mentioned that Heritage sampled a few 50s necks to get the "right" spec, I wondered if a drawknife and spokeshave never touched a neck then it isn't authentically vintage correct. Does any big guitar manufacturer use spokeshaves anymore? Not talking about boutique makers.
I have owned over a dozen gibsons in 50 year of playing and still own several....never had a Heritage but have been aware of them and always wanted one...maybe someday! 65 years old so the runway is getting short...so maybe I will grab one soon! Thanks for the comparison!!!!
I got a very rare and special model that runs about 4 grand now lol. It's amazing. Something very special and unique about that guitar... I'ma go play it right now lolz.
Darrell no weight relief on the Custom Core, they pick the best and lightest mahogany and maple so no CC will weigh over 9lbs. One very cool thing with your Custom Core , read Heritage found the original 50's PAF Gibson Pickup winder, rebuilt it and are making the pickups in house for the CC model.
Major challenge for me with this comparison, is the two guitars are not quite comparable to what they could be. Comparing a Standard 50's or 60's Les Paul (which is what would be purchased new now) to the 'Standard' model Heritage H-150 would be apples to apples , price and guitar specs would be much closer. Would be a better comparison of Guitars at a very similar price.
Always appreciate the videos. thanks!
The Custom Shop 225 Classic pickups in this Custom Core sound like I want all Gibson humbuckers to sound but very few do. Amazing pickups!
@@jimmyjames2022. They are killer, completely agree with you. They sound fantastic and Gibson than Gisbon most of they're LP's do.
Have a Gorgeous H-150 ltd edition and reached out to Heritage checking to see if they would sell any sets of the PUPs. Would love to install them. But sadly no, they don't.
@@jimmyjames2022 Agree completely that the 225's sound superb! That being said, there is so much variation in vintage humbuckers, that variation augmented by the fact they're all in different guitars. I have a pair of vintage PAF's in a superb, sub-nine-pound '06 Heritage 150 20th Anniversary. Fabulous! And I have a very special '21 Custom Core with the 225's. Do they sound the same? Of course not. Does each express itself beautifully, in a way I think humbuckers should sound? Absolutely! My gold standard for humbucker tone is Bloomfield's Burst. The 225's come closer to that than any pickups I've used, with the possible exception of Gibson Custom Buckers.
Just played a 2007 (57 pups) Gibson LP in Tea Burst and it was stunning in all regards. First LP I’ve fallen in love with.
Won’t replace my SG in playability, but certainly a special guitar.
I like both. And would be happy with either 1.
But I am really not a Les Paul guy. They are to heavy for me but still are great guitars.I am saving now for 61 reissue Gibson SG.Much more comfortable for me to play.
Been playing Heritage for years. Your friend in tone, Norman Mozley
I would choose the Heritage any day of the week. I'm a little partial considering I live in the state that still produces those sweet guitars
Great video! I own an Heritage H157 (Les Paul Custom model) and I have to say that is a great Guitar! I love it!

Trick question! The answer is Epiphone. People can actually afford those.
@Arjun Ravichandran Vanity. Check out the ALL In One (AIO) brand Les Paul and save a ton of money.
@Arjun Ravichandran the short answer is it’s mostly vanity. Yes, they are better in a few aspects, like they are “Pleked” (which is a laser-measured neck and fret machine job, so there is less chance of a warped neck, or faulty fret heights), they usually have more exotic finishes (like flaming marks), and have a bit more care to the construction. The objective aspects, meaning these things are more of “player’s preference,” are different pickups, nitro cellulose finishes (usually), and the illustrious name on the headstock.
If that is worth an extra $2,000-$6,000 to you, then feel free to buy from the Big Boys. If it’s not worth that to you, most cheaper alternatives are perfectly fine.
Let’s put it like this: an Epiphone Les Paul will get you 95% of what the expensive ones offer you for $400-$700. That extra 5% is what tends to cost those extra few thousands of dollars.
@Arjun Ravichandran most of it is just paying for the name.
@Arjun Ravichandran Vanity.. If you want a great single cut Les Paul style, I recommend Eastman it's a great company yes they're Chinese but they've made classical instruments for decades and have superb sound... There's A.I.O. Wolf guitars in Cali they're made South Korea their Wolf Wlp 750 guitars are $460 is the best you'll find I've got 2 and I love them.. Welcome to the brotherhood
@@LuvhandleR Absolutely great guitars, I recommended the same
Clear pickup rings to match the knobs on that blue guitar would be killer
I had both and i preferred the fretboard of the Les Paul Custom. It had low string action, low and wide frets and playability was outstanding. However the guitar was heavy with no weight relieve and the type of mahogany used back in 1977 was probably not the best one ever. In that regard the Heritage is much more resonant with plenty of resonance in the mid range. At some point i had to sell a guitar and it was the Gibson. I kept the Heritage and still own it.
If I’m going to have to choose between two $4K Les Paul’s, I’m choosing the Gibson. That blue example is particularly beautiful!
My favourite bit is when Darrell says something that has not one ounce of humour in it (e.g. 4:35 "Took a laser scan of it") and then laughs at it as if someone has told a joke. It has that unnerving essence of Arkham inmate that is so compelling.
I would take either over a fender any day. Those are beautiful instruments and you really make those tones pop. Great video.
I find fenders necks far more comfortable and the 3x3 headstocks hard on the eyes
@@TripsView I like both but yeah, fender for the win : )
You can always tell which one Darrell is leaning towards.
Yes Darrell you do have a tell. LOL
Im leaning towards the the same one you picked. Keep up the good work bro your killing it.
The link to the heritage goes to the standard, in the video Darrell is playing the Custom Core which is 4100 retail. That is 1300 more than the Current Gibson les paul standard 50s/60s. Seems like two different instruments. One is the custom shop which gets more hands on attention and the other is the standard production line. I played the heritage standard last week and the neck is slimmer than the les paul standard 50s. Both make great guitars.
Hi Darrell, your channel is great, I really enjoy You blind test !! I need to ask you a question, I need to buy a les paul guitar, but I can not afford a Gibson, so I am searching other options. I m from Buenos Aires Argentina, and I only can Buy Epiphone, Cort or ESP LTD guitars, so, according to your experience, what do You recommend me? For example, an Epiphone? A Cort CR 250 ? An LTD 256? Which do You think is the Best option? Thanks!!!!
Alright DB! The jig is up! I've been looking for a LP Standard like you have in the video and can't find one. What year is the one you've made so famous? Beautiful Top and back. Of course Sweetwater does not carry this color. Help a guy out!!
Was waiting for you to pull out the 3rd, and winning, surprise guitar, an ESP Eclipse ;)

Hey Darrel,
I’ve been a Gibson lover since I was a kid way back in the 70’s. I think Gibson has been doing a nice job as of lately under their new management too thank God ( Before we lost another American icon company sadly ). The Heritage is absolutely beautiful too and very well made, I’ve watched quite a few videos on them although currently I only own Gibsons. Another difference in their build is the Heritage still uses the long neck tenon just like they did in the golden age. Some folks will argue that it makes no difference in tonality, while that maybe true, I do think it’s still a stronger connection between the two pieces. I do know Gibson does them this way on many of their custom builds. I really wish they would’ve done them this way on their Standards as well, especially since they are going for the ‘true recreation’ with no weight relief anymore, hand wiring w/ orange drop caps etc….
I like everything about the Heritage except for that headstock, I definitely prefer the look of the open book look on the Gibbie headstock. Aside from that I think the Heritage is a tad bit better of a build in general though, they are a bit more expensive too though when comparing apples to apples although when you get to custom categories they level out pretty much.
In short….. both fantastic guitars and a pleasure to play or listen to either imo 🤙
I love the feel of the C shaped (59ish) neck. I have owned 5 H-150’s in my life. 3 had the 60’s neck one was a wide neck with a 59 profile, my current on is a more traditional width but does have the 59 profile as well….I will never sell this one.
Both sound great but have to go with the Heritage, very close to the root beer one in my basement circa 2001.
I own a 2019 Heritage H-150. I have also played a Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul (not sure which one as it was years ago) at a friend's home, and they are comparable in build quality, woods, playability, and finish. An R9 will cost you $6000+. A Heritage H-150 will cost you $2600. And even if you opt for the Heritage Custom Core Artisan Aged, it's still only $4500.
I think Gibson's better values are actually in their affordable range. I have a 2014 LPJ 120th Anniversary that is killer for the $700 used I paid for it. Sounds better than any Gibson LP I've played at the store for a fraction of the price. The new version of this guitar would be the LP Tribute, which I've heard similar things about.
And yes, the wood and frets on the Gibson and Heritage are much better than any Epiphone. And I own three Epiphones. The fretwork on the vintage 1977 Epiphone from Japan was impeccable. The frets on the Chinese and Korean models needed levelling, crowning, and dressing (although the Korean model was markedly better).
The Gibson had more sparkle on the neck pickup in the clean segment.
Nothing wrong with either of those lovely guitars. I was glad to hear they’re both under 9 lbs. I love the Les Paul concept and history but I have definitely reached a point where if my LP isn’t under 9, it’s not gonna be for me. I have an Epiphone LP Modern and it’s 8.4. The thinner next is superb, the frets are amazing, I love the locking tuners and the sculpted neck pocket is nice. It came to me with upgraded pickups and I changed those out for a Duncan Jazz in the neck and a Duncan Custom in the bridge. I think in a blind test it would hold its own against anything out there. Really great guitar.

So weird how during a certain era, a "Standard" LP meant the weight-relieved modern version, but now my 60s "Standard" built in 2020 is 10 pounds 3 oz.
I really like both guitar's. Choosing one or the other is difficult. If i could afford to, I would buy both!
The Heritage H150 models all have one-piece bodies. That’s another difference.
very very nice guitars. I am not certain which one I would buy, and I hope to
Have you tryed an eastman yet?

There's nothing that gets me quite as happy as a new video from Darrell shoving guitars in my face.

I've a question. What model year of each are you playing given that Gibson has experienced a quality rebirth as of late?
Great video! The wood relief is very interesting to me. Wood snobs should hate right off the bat because taking that much wood out should change tone. Sacrilege!! Lol. I love Heritage guitars. Only problem...too hard to find.
Add up ☝ I have something for you🎁
S'up Darrell. Can you get your hands on a Collings?
I think the quality of Heritage guitars tends to be a bit more consistent.
Thanks for the video.
I'll see what i can do!
@@DarrellBraunGuitar Honestly you should try a higher end Tokai, FGN or Navigator, which any of them would go toe to toe quality wise with high end Gibsons.
I’d like your take on Vintage brand guitars!
Add up ☝ I have something for you
Awesome guitars!!!
Still watching, but my money's on Heritage
Both works of art.
Darrell, was wondering have you ever done a review on the leo jaymz full size single cut les paul style with grover machine heads. i was thinking of buying one but i thought id see if you have dome the review first.
Add up ☝ I have something for you
You didn't mention it but the cutaway seems to go a bit deeper than fret 21 in the heritage which makes it slightly more accessible. That, the better thought out headstock, and the pricing makes IMO the Heritage the better guitar. 👌
There are many small companies making great quality Les Paul style guitar. For instance, Japanese made, Edward, Tokai, Orville, Greco.
Orville is Gibson’s Japanese licensed brand. (Unlike Fender they didn’t want to use the Gibson name on non-USA made guitars.)
I own too many guitars - my Les Paul styles are a Tokai from the 80s and. Greco/ Gneco wear;y 70s - both are terrific and I paid under a grand. Anyway a local guitar shop was advertising a used gold top Les Paul and I convinced myself I would only buy it if it sounded and played spectacular. It didn’t. So I thought that I had saved myself my money, but then the store guy gave me a Heritage custom with p90s. Hands down the best Les Paul style guitar I have ever played. So I could not resist buying my absolutely last guitar! I hope.
The Heritage is in the same price range as the Gibson so Ide go for the Gibson as it's the original. There are other brands like Eastman and PRS among others in the same price range as Gibson. Lots to choose from. Thanks for sharing!

Both dreamy guitars, but that blue 🥰
I have a particularly good visually flawless Gibson Recently at a high end guitar shop I could not find one without noticeable to scary noticeable flaws. They had two LP Standards and both were very bad. In short if I can see such disregard for quality what is wrong that I can't see.
The gaping flaws in your grammar?
I'm fortunate to own a 2016 Heritage H-150 with Pearly Gates and a 2017 Gibson Les Paul Traditional with Seymour Duncan Antiquities. While neither guitar is flawless, they both are very good guitars and I have enjoyed playing both. Visually, the Gibson headstock and single cutaway looks better to me but my Heritage maple top is much, much nicer. If I had to pick one, I'd lean towards the Heritage. Full disclosure, I did upgrade the tuners, tailpiece & stop tail with Faber parts.
With no disrespect to either company, my 2021 PRS Core McCarty 594 SC is on another level, as it should be considering the cost. So much so that my Heritage & Gibson will be going on the chopping block soon, or so I keep telling myself.
You have some of the finest electrics out there! I was gifted a Gibson LP studio last year from my now UA-cam subscriber! It is the best I have, only LP, only Gibson, only US Made. We do not have legit gears here so no pleasure to try any. Greetings from Tanzania, East Africa.
I'd love to have a Heritage 150 to go with my R9. Cheers 😀
Add up ☝☝ I have something for you🎁
i have a h140 it is superb
I think sound/playability is different for everyone. I’ve always thought with Heritage the build quality, while not necessarily “better” than Gibson, is more consistent. Better quality control. That said the Gibson will hold its value more so it’s a better investment. I love the Heritage headstock but I do wish it was bigger!
I like the Japanese made Les Pauls best, I've got a Greco white custom. It plays better than my old 335 Gibson...I think the heritage headstock looks funny on a Les Paul body BUT on the heritage 335 their headstock looks "proper" and has better string angle from the nut for better tuning stability.
I have a Heritage H 535, and it's much better than the Gibson ES 335's I've seen.
A friend of mine has a Tokai Love Rock. That's also a really great guitar.
Both the Heritage and Tokai (MIJ) are fine alternatives to the Gibson.
The only drawback of a Heritage or Tokai are the lower resale value.
If a person doesn't plan to sell then that is a non-issue. I've a MIJ Tokai R4 that is every bit the equal of my Gibson USA Les Paul, just less costly.
And there are the Neo Classics from FGN/Fujigen, also made in Japan...
@@schmoemi3386 Very true schmoe mi
A close friend also has a mid 1980s Epiphone Master Built Casino, it is every bit as nice as a Kalamazoo built Casino.
I believe the Epiphone Master Builds we out of the FGN building in Japan.
@@hkguitar1984 Nice! Were they a predecessor to the Epiphone MiJ Elite/Elitist Series?
@@schmoemi3386 My friend who inherited the '80s Casino Master Built from his Uncle, he let me borrow it for a couple months while I also performed a setup and fret polish for him. I loved the guitar and the P90s had an authentic feel and tone.
The only part of the Casino that I could find fault with (and even then, not a fault) was the narrow Fingerboard Nut width. Just a little too cramped for my hands. Overall, a beautiful guitar inside and out.
One thing I noticed during the video is it appears that the neck heel sits deeper in the body that the Gibson. Not sure if that was an optical illusion, but the tailpiece and bridge looked to be set much higher on the Gibson.

That Les Paul is absolutely beautiful that top is stunning
Just had a brand new Donner DST-152 show up (the middle priced of their 3 strats) and I did a string tree removal, and full set up, and I’m glad I bought one. I don’t have any other strat and can’t afford a high end one, so thanks for the recommendation on those.
The clean tone on that heritage is amazing.
I would go for the Heritage. Looks nicer to me but then that is a preference only.

Was this Heritage's best model or mid grade? It sounded similar but I did notice some variation but that could have been your playing style. How's the price comparison? Does it come with a decent case?
More scamming I see

Oh ok makes sence d shape neck I never find comfortable but many do
Add up ☝ I have something for you🎁
I kinda prefer the sound of the heritage guitar. Never owned one but sounds a bit warmer and cleaner in my opinion.
The clean neck tones are SO MUCH more 3 dimensional, nuanced and rich on the Heritage. As for crunch - hell, almost all differences disappear - strats can even sound like pauls. I wish you'd done more clean tests - both pups, bridge only. But that one clean comparison - man, the Heritage was just RICHER sounding! I bet their 335 kicks butt too.
I thought both guitars sounded quite similar. The Gibson was a bit brighter and had more top end, while the Heritage was a bit warmer and more mid-rangey to my ear. Worth noting is that the Gibson pickups don't have covers, which might account for some of the sonic difference. I was surprised to find that I preferred the sound of the Heritage when you played the metal riff. I would have thought the more modern Gibson would sound better for heavy playing.
Thanks for the comparison! It was interesting and fun to watch!

What year model is your Gibson?
Your thumbnail says "Gison" :)
True
Spell authentic
Indeed it does
And I loved it.
They were going to charge me extra for the B :(
sonically, the bigest tonal difference can be boiled down to covered vs. un-covreed pickups/
You did this same comparison a few weeks ago!
Next year he'll be doing it again. And the year after that. Unoriginality of content isn't going to stop him.
I thought they were very similar, but the Heritage was particularly nice playing the quiet music. But, heck. Your playing made them both sound fantastic.
How do they hold a tuning?
what is the Gibson les paul color called?
I have a Heritage Big kahuna that was made as a signature from an amazing local guitarist named Chris Bouvard. Only a handful of them ever made and I gotta tell ya, I hate it and I love it at the same time lol. It’s a beautiful instrument. Someday I’ll get myself a Gibson so I can do a comparison but I gotta say…your Les Paul Standard is sexier than Paul Rudd.
Heritage for me if I were to choose. Wolfgang standard if I were to be keeping it ~ :)

i'm quite fond of my hondo 748 mkII...
Can you do a Heritage Vs Eastman?
Love the javanese scale
The idea hat heritage is a company full of guys who stayed in Michigan and didn’t go to Nashville is true BUT a lot of the Kalamazoo guys did go to Nashville. Furthermore that happened ~40 years ago so most of those guys who stayed are long gone. Also: the machines h that are used because they were left behind is on,y true for some of the machines, Gibson did take a lot of stuff with them during the move.
People need to look up the real story behind Heritage and then extrapolate it 40 years into the future.
But now you're applying common sense!
You should try a new Les Paul, from the Original collection
H-150 hands down is the better guitar for the price. I am a left handed guitar player and Gibson just has very little to offer in left handed guitars. My left handed H-150 was the same price as Gibson's right handed. Gibson like most manufacturers charge more for left handed guitars.
The Heritage has a more mid range vibe which I like. But I still can't get past the headstock. I actually bought a 2017 standard a few months ago and I was also trying out a Heritage at the same time. If money is your issue then the couple of hundred bucks less is worth it. I wish I could buy one just to have.
Headstock is just a inside out gibson head stock. OLD school gibsons used to have a very similar head stock to modern gibsons as well. It's a call back.
I think it's looks kool. Like a pitch fork lolz. Had to get one because well... Real gibsons are often crappier quality and more expensive lolz.
Obviously those having trouble with Gibson, haven’t tried the R9 any year or the Les Paul Axcess with Floyd Rose which will remain in tune for months till the strings degraded.
The 2015 and 2016 Les Pauls have a metal zero fret nut which also stays in tune very nicely.
Both very nice Gibson a little cleaner sounding
Those really are beauties.
Add up ☝ I have something for you
I say Heritage! I haven't watched the vid yet! so let's go!
Heritage hand's down sounds pretty dang good to me.
Did Heritage address the string pitch?
Hadn't heritage switched to modern manufacturing methods a couple of years ago?
