Heritage Guitar is an American musical instrument manufacturer company based in Kalamazoo, Michigan, United States.
[5] Some of the Gibson employees who did not move to Tennessee started production of guitars under a new name, "Heritage," which was likely meant to stake a claim to their guitar-making tradition.
[3] Heritage makes guitars that are said to have been similar to Gibson's products,[3][10] which the company's advocates and fans would say are constructed in a much more "handmade" fashion and with more attention to detail.
The design of the Heritage H-150 solid-body guitar is modelled on the Les Paul Standard, while the H-575 resembles the ES-175 and the H-535 reinterprets the ES-335.
The advertisements wrote that Heritage was making guitars on Parsons Street in Kalamazoo, without mentioning Gibson by name.
Jazz guitarist, composer, and two-time Grammy nominee David Becker has been endorsing Heritage Guitar for more than 30 years.
The "David Becker H-575 Signature Model" features a solid spruce top, maple sides and back, and a humbucker and piezo pickup.
