The headstock looks like a great improvement to me. The string pull through the nut is much straighter so the tuning stability will be better. Good on Heritage for being brave enough to deviate from "authenticity".
I have this one in Emerald Green! You can't find that color anymore; did you forget to mention they are made by hand, no cns machines are used. I was going to get the Gibson until I found the Heritage.
Flipping gorgeous!! I have been on the hunt for a Gibson when I recently came across Heritage Guitars and my next purchase will be the H-535! I actually like the headstock! Great video 👍 enjoy your new beauty!
Kalamazoo is definitely not a made up name. I lived and worked there for 20 years. I lived about 2 miles from the old Gibson factory. I've been inside and actually applied for a job with Heritage. Also buried utility lines to the building. I didn't get a job there obviously. I have friends that own Heritage guitars and they are way better than Gibson. Some of the Gibson guys didn't wanna move to Tennessee so they started Heritage. They also build the new Harmony line of guitars there , which are absolutely phenomenal! I love living where I do. 30 miles from the source. Midway between Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids. 🎸🎼🎵🎶🇺🇸🇨🇦❤
Personally I take off pick guards. My strumming style doesn't scratch the guitar so I don't need the pick guard. Also I like the way they look without it. But what I really like about the pick guard on this guitar is the metal bracket is like the Gibson style, not the Epiphone style. That's pretty cool that they gave you this guitar in exchange for doing this video. That's a pretty good deal.
I have same Cherry with Seth Lovers which are unpotted. Sound as good as the ‘59’s but sound more “ vintage and airy”….which is a nice way of saying that they are microphonic!
Heritage is great, even as a Gibson snob myself, their used prices are very good if you want a made in usa gibson style guitar. Sadly, like Gibson their weights are very inconsistent. If you dont want a gibson, i highly suggest a collings. those are incredible
Looks like a winner. My last Gibson '61 SG experience was not good so a 335 is out of the question. They still have QC issues at least mine did. I may look at the Heritage 535.
I’ll pass up a guitar because I don’t like the headstock…because there are so many more guitars I want than that I can afford that there’s always another one to waste my money on. 😆 That said, I like the Heritage headstock better than the Gibson. I’ve just never been a fan of the 335 double-cut design. The Epiphone Uptown Kat ES is the semi-hallow on my wish list.
Beautiful guitar and excellent tone. Headstock? I couldn't see it because my ears were so happy. What I always wonder about is the neck/body balance especially given the low overall weight of this guitar...neck dive is so common in semi hollow bodies. Had a very nice Eastman with 59s in it that sounded great but the neck dive was so bad playing standing or sitting it wasn't worth keeping. So how goes the balance on this beauty?
😂 great video and a beautiful guitar❤ Happy national electric guitar day, at least according to the band "Garbage!" Something about taking the plastic protection off the pickups it's so addictive even my dog couldn't turn away😅😂😅😂
Hey, how can I know if I prefer pick guard on or off if you don't show it to me both ways? If you like, you could send it to me and I can take pictures both ways and then answer your question. Thank you! I will wait for your answer before I watch the rest of the video so I don't ruin the experience. Merry Christmas!
It is the most valuable and the best playing and staying in tune guitar I own. Also the only nitro. I love it and it would be the first guitar I would grab in a house fire. @@landonbailey
Gibson left Michigan for union avoidance. The smoke stack still says Gibson on it in Kalamazoo, cool building that has a ton of history, Heitage are nice and all but. Kalamazoo is a ghetto town and the building is not in the beat parts. Wich Heritage would offer a V
I have a Heritage H-150. The Heritage plays and sounds better than my Gibson custom shop Les Paul. Those who claim that the headstock is the reason that they don't like Heritage. Ii believe they are brand fanbois. Just my opinion
Pickguard off. The headstock is fine, but not spectacular. The guitar (like all Heritage guitars) IS spectacular, however. Heritage guitars are what Gibson guitars COULD be if they decided to pay attention and give a shi* about making consistent quality a rule and not an exception. Congrats on the beautiful new guitar. Like the people I can’t stand say, “I’m jelly!”

Aesthetically its kinda not that cool or whatever but from a functional design perspective it seems better
Indeed
They have been lambasted for that headstock for decades. I’ve always liked it.
I adore my 535, which I giggle with frequently. Better QC than a Gibson at a much lower price point, and a full pound lighter weight than most 335’s
The “Sega does what Nintendon’t” reference 😂
I have this one in Emerald Green! You can't find that color anymore; did you forget to mention they are made by hand, no cns machines are used. I was going to get the Gibson until I found the Heritage.
Pickguard on, beautiful 🎸

Rock on!
I bought a limited edition heritage H-150 about 6 months ago and it beats my Gibson LP's hands down.
sweet!
I ve always wanted a 335, that one is pretty awesome👍
That is the ULTIMATE!

cool thanks for sharing!
Nice score mate!!
Im unsuccessfully trying not to be jealous!!

I rest my fingers on the pickguard on my 335 Dot.. if picking.
I've only had a strum on a Heritage, nicely made... but we don't get many in Australia.
I have same Cherry with Seth Lovers which are unpotted. Sound as good as the ‘59’s but sound more “ vintage and airy”….which is a nice way of saying that they are microphonic!
I love that style of headstock. Reminds me of the early guitars. Beautiful 😍. Just looked for coins in my couch, damn only $2998.50 short.
That's a beautiful guitar! Some say the two most versatile guitars are teles and 335s. What do you think now you got both?
Heritage is great, even as a Gibson snob myself, their used prices are very good if you want a made in usa gibson style guitar. Sadly, like Gibson their weights are very inconsistent. If you dont want a gibson, i highly suggest a collings. those are incredible
Collings are excellent... everything about em is good... cept the price!!
I'd luv one of their Jrs or Specials.
Heritage headstock shape is kinda cool. Fixes break angle tuning issues that a lot of people think is a thing with Gibson's design.
Looks great. I'm a fan of Emily Remler who used 330 with PAF pus. I wanna try heritage's guitar once.
Stunning guitar. Nice review. Wish I could afford one. Thanks, Landon!
I saw a couple fo your shorts and watched a few videos, and I got to say, I fucking love your humour. Keep it up!
Looks like a winner. My last Gibson '61 SG experience was not good so a 335 is out of the question. They still have QC issues at least mine did. I may look at the Heritage 535.
I'm gonna have to get me one of those one of these days.
Man, Landon, that is a super sweet looking axe. It sounds good too. Cool beans man.

Great guitar! It even starts to feedback controllable!!!

Balance is great!
😂 great video and a beautiful guitar❤
Happy national electric guitar day, at least according to the band "Garbage!"
Something about taking the plastic protection off the pickups it's so addictive even my dog couldn't turn away😅😂😅😂
Winning man!!!
Absolutely.

This is your best video title.
Leave the pickguard on. Take the headstock off. Problems solved.
Seriously, it looks and sounds nice. Still pretty pricey though.
I own this guitar, same color. I changed the pickups to antiquity humbuckers. What a guitar!
nice! then you know how great it plays
It is the most valuable and the best playing and staying in tune guitar I own. Also the only nitro. I love it and it would be the first guitar I would grab in a house fire. @@landonbailey
You Lucky Canuck❗️
She’s gorgeous ❕
What’s the neck profile like/ specs ?
Pickguard ON❗️
In 1969 I bought a brand new Ford Mustang 302 Boss for $2750.00. I'll stick with my Washburn ES335. :)
Gibson left Michigan for union avoidance.
The smoke stack still says Gibson on it in Kalamazoo, cool building that has a ton of history, Heitage are nice and all but.
Kalamazoo is a ghetto town and the building is not in the beat parts. Wich Heritage would offer a V
Nice demo and impressive guitar.
Thank you kindly!
What about the neck? Is that thick or thin etc?! Reviewing guitar that should be the first thing to mention.
it's a slimmer neck
@@landonbailey Thank you
Landon, what's happening with the guitar lessons that you started taking a few months ago?
Still happening once a week!
Should know this, but what's with the random numbers flashing in the background? I've seen it on "That Pedal Show," too.

Funny enough the headstock looks fine to me. But the D’Angelico headstock is one I can’t get past
I have a Heritage H-150. The Heritage plays and sounds better than my Gibson custom shop Les Paul. Those who claim that the headstock is the reason that they don't like Heritage. Ii believe they are brand fanbois. Just my opinion
Nice review. Who are you?? Never heard of you. Well I’ve heard of you but not this Gibson person. Enjoy that lovely guitar. Sweet.
Is that red the same as the Gubson es 335 red
similar, but I can't say same
Fantastic ❤😊
On
Pickguard off. The headstock is fine, but not spectacular. The guitar (like all Heritage guitars) IS spectacular, however. Heritage guitars are what Gibson guitars COULD be if they decided to pay attention and give a shi* about making consistent quality a rule and not an exception. Congrats on the beautiful new guitar. Like the people I can’t stand say, “I’m jelly!”
Pick guard off for rock. Pick guard on for jazz.
Great video. I’d like heritage to send me one for free. Also pick guard on. Just got mine yesterday.
Also, nice shirt!
Nice guitar but it’s pricey. Can you compare it to the Eastman
I’ve never seen an Eastman!
T484 with Same frets and pickups
Not Kalamazoo China?
It needs a Bigsby.
i've heard of chibson, but not this gibson you keep mentioning.
Dude.. so jelly
Wish I could afford one.
..pick guard on.
Call me old fashioned but I wouldn't want to play a guitar that took it's pickguard before it let me, at least, take it to gig first.
GimPson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Off
