The collapse of the Heritage Owners Club forum is a real shame. While the forum had some definite "social issues", there was a large number of very knowledgeable & dedicated players and, of course, a wealth of info about Heritage guitars. I joined that forum back early in the year after buying, with Kip/kidsmoke's able assistance, a used H555 semihollowbody (as seen HERE) from one of the forum regulars there. As most of you probably know, Heritage guitars are hand-made in the former Gibson factory in Kalamazoo MI and are AT LEAST as good as their more famous forebears. Heritage owners tend to be rather fanatical about the brand, and it's easy to understand why.
Anyway, as Kip has noted, their forum is being shutdown, and I expect we may be seeing some (many? a boatload?) of the HOC regulars stopping by here to check out TheFret. Let's welcome them.
Robert--any chance of maybe establishing a Heritage sub-forum in the Instruments section? I dare say these folks would start filling it up pretty quickly with some very tasty guitar photos and associated info.
