All user reviews for the Heritage H-575

Heritage, as its name suggests, seems to assert the "heritage" of the production site of the historic Gibson guitars in Kalamazoo Michigan.
The idea of ​​launching the brand of guitars "Heritage" began when, in 1984, Gibson Guitar Corporation closed its plant in Kalamazoo, Michigan to transfer all production to its other plant in Nashville, Tennessee (in operation since 1975). When this occurred, some employees were asked to move to Nashville. However, several families were rooted in Kalamazoo, and have not followed this industrial moving. As a result, three men, Jim Deurloo, Marvin Lamb, and JP Moats, decided to resume the manufacture of guitars. In 1985 when the Sté Heritage was created, two other former employees of Gibson Guitar Corporation, and Bill Paige Korpak Mike, joined the three buyers. The greatest resource is the founding, and remains, the reconstituted group of artisans. The owners themselves were all over 25 years experience gained in the traditional manufacturing guitars. To date each of the owners remain directly involved in the manufacture of each instrument.

Manufacture resumed in the oldest (1917) of the five buildings operated by Gibson Guitar Corporation. Much of the machinery and equipment had been used even today were bought with Gibson Guitar Corp.. Legacy produced the first guitar was a solid body H-140 which was exhibited at NAMM in June 1985.

Since then many models have completed the range of instruments mass produced or custom in all lines (solid-guitars, half-hollow and hollow body). The guitars produced are of excellent workmanship with a clean finish. Because of their quality / price ratio, these models may therefore be, according to experts, an alternative choice in relation to contemporary models Gibson.
