Sound

This guitar will blow away any Les Paul of any year made. I run it thru my Hughes and Kettner Attack 100. Always full and rich but if you want a strat sound this isn't for you. I think this is hands down the best guitar I have ever owned.
Action, Fit, & Finish
:

It came from the factory perfectly set-up, so well that it didn't need another setup for 3 years and that was after heavy use every day. The finish is perfect and it looks like it's 2" thick. The only problem was the gold on the tuners faded and tarnished after 2 years, but this is a problem with Grovers plating and nothing else.
Reliability/Durability
:

This guitar has held up under every condition you can think of and it still looks and plays like brand new. I just spent $50 dollars on this guitar for a full set-up and that is the most money I have ever dropped in to this guitar after 8 years of owning it. This guitar is my main axe and I never needed a backup when I use it.
Customer Support

This is the only problem with Heritage. They are a very small company and the owner is the guy who answers the phone when you call customer support. They are so busy that you have to call several times to get there attention. But once they hear what you have to say they jump right on it. I have never need to use the warranty except to by a new truss rod plate which I broke and they sent me 2 for free!
Overall Rating

Out of all the guitars I have had in the past 12 years of playing this is the only one that never let me down or gave me problems. Not only is the guitar beautiful but it's built like a tank. I would recommened a Heritage to anyone considering a Gibson.
