Heritage Guitars "Ascent Collection"

[jim777]

My apologies up front if this has already been discussed to death, but I assume these are Chinese made instruments? Are they "finished/setup" in the US when they arrive? $699 is pretty low for a Heritage H-535, but I'd consider the H-137 at $499

I guess with CNC and popularity of buying guitars Heritage is following Gibson’s Epiphone import line.
Sure they are good well playing instruments. But still have a hard time finding an important mostly due to finish type used and neck shapes that appeal to me personally.

Sure wish they would offer a large neck option! I do see Epihone Select offers a Jeff Beck Oxblood re creation with a large neck,yeah! But for me at my age 8.5 lbs and above are too heavy Lol!

Now we need an affordable archtop that isnt laminated...foating pickup too!

I know it would be more expensive but a good semi budget line would be nice.

Used Eastman or Loar are your best bets!

Yes, Ive been eying a few used Eastmans.
The loars are nice but most Ive seen were non cutaways.
I have an ES125 that I really Enjoy...Id like something with a floater and a cutaway.
....Its not like Im hurting for anything but it would be a nice addition.

I'm waiting for the upgrade line. Watch out for the NonScents!

You’re looking for a Loar LH-650. 16” Non cutaway. They’re on Reverb. I have one.
