Heritage hands down, Such a great full sounding guitar, sounds way more balanced than the Gibson. plus your getting a guitar built in the hallowed halls of Parsons street, built the exact same way the Holy Grail guitars were built, same tables, same tools, Its a no brainer, I've played many many Heritages including the newer ones since the new owners took over and they just keep getting better. Sorry but for me Gibson is just a name anymore with alot of hype.

Fun fact . Edwin Wilson designed the pickups in both of these guitars.

So, let me make sure I've got this straight: we have two guitars that are virtually identical. Yes, some slight slight differences but quality-wise, performance-wise, and spec-wise, the same. Both made in the US. Both with deep Gibson DNA. The only real difference is the headstock. One is about $4000. One is about $6800. Why is this even a debate?

@jarredbrink969 7 ай бұрын

Im gonna make a slip on Gibson headstock cover for Heritage to make all Gibby fans feel warm and fuzzy.......problem solved!

@spacerangerlol 4 ай бұрын

At this price point it's not about sound or playability. You can get an awesome instrument for 500-1000$ or even less if you're lucky. And nobody ever is gonna hear any difference on a record in a mix. However if you're spending this much money, it's not about quality or anything like that. It's about collectors value. You're just more likely to resell Gibson for the same price or even more. And I'm not gonna lie: Heritage's headstock is ridiculously ugly. If I were in search of such instrument without Gibson logo on its headstock I would much rather go for high end Tokai Love Rock models.

@synonyx Жыл бұрын

Prolly the best comparison of the two out there. While they sound similar they each have little differences. Would come down to playability for me.

It would be interesting to add the custom buckers to the Heritage and compare now that Gibson sells them.

@erneumann3136 11 ай бұрын

Both are works of art. It might come down to how do they make the player feel.

Does not have to be an either or proposition. There is room in your heart and your ears to love both. I have several gibsons and if heritage guitars where available where I live on would buy a custom core in a heartbeat.

Heritage makes wonderful instruments…BUT…resale is a thing. They drop about 40% and stay there. An R9 just doesn’t. My LP Classic is worth twice what I paid for it. And the sad thing, Heritage gets nothing from a used sale. If you buy new, it’s strictly to support a boutique builder.

@ListenHereOldMan 6 ай бұрын

you can find deals on Custom Core's here and there... i know it's just reverb, i'm sure there are better deals if i really searched, but i just ordered a new one for virtually the same price as the cheapest used custom core, period, on there. Now, i'll have 30d to decide if i wanna keep it or look for an R8 VOS from the last few years, w the unpotted custombuckers... if i keep the heritage i'll have to grab a set of unpotteds, which will run anywhere from 350-550, tho i kinda doubt i splurge to the top end of that, and the best of those tend to sound a bit more articulate than the custombuckers imo... either way, beautiful guitars... i prefer the plain top to the flame, else i'd love to find a 59 VOS, just for the neck.. i just can't do the flame every day... unless it's subtle enough that it costs like $10k, when i think i'll prefer just picking up the R8 for hopefully ~$3500-4000 used. we'll see!

I have owned a bunch of different model Gibson Les Pauls and one Heritage H-157 Ltd. ( 40 of 40 )with P-90's......My Gibson Slash Anaconda and my Custom Shop Historic Special were my favorites....The Heritage was absolutely beautiful , but I think it boiled down to pups and feel of the neck....The Slash SD pups are my favorite and the Custom Shop Special neck is my favorite ( I know everyone likes a different tone and feel of the neck , so it's subjective of course ). As far as build, The Heritage and Gibson Custom Shop take the top honors. They both just felt solid and well crafted ..... I have had some Gibson duds too. One standard would be great and another did nothing at all for me.

The Heritage is very much on par in the middle and neck positions, but the bridge pup is quackier in the mids to me. I prefer the balance of the Custombucker.

The R8 is the winner for me because I even chose that over the R9. The Heritage here sounds different then the R9 and that's good on it's own. I prefer the sound here overall on the R9, but the Heritage sounded more laid back and that will some day be another tool for me. When we say this will be our last guitar? we are lying lol.

The difference is as subtle as playing two of the same guitar from either company. I’ve owned Gibson Historics that sound just like that Heritage. No complaints here. We all consider resale, and GAS is a cruel master…LOL…but if you’re buying one of these with no desire or intent to sell it / flip it down the road, the Heritage is a clear winner here. I swap pickups in my Historics, why wouldn’t I do the same in a Heritage? Put Throbaks in either guitar, and it’s a better instrument…which is saying something because they’re both fine as-is.

Why be upset? You can like both . Is there some rule against liking both. I don't get why to would be Considered an argument. There is no definitive answer as to which one is better. It's all personal preference. Stating that you prefer one over the other is not controversial and saying you prefer one to the other is not the same as saying one us better then the other.

Being from Michigan, I love Gibson (own 3) and Heritage. However, the Gibson just looks better, plain and simple. I do not like the way the Heritage cutaway looks and that pick guard is terrible. I know WHY they did it that way, but it still looks like a knockoff Gibson LP. Both sound incredible though.

@JHKNVY02 6 ай бұрын

Heritage are made in Kalamazoo in the old Gibson factory by many of the previous employees when Gibson left…on the old equipment. Gibson is gone from Michigan. So if you want a guitar made in your home state, in the Gibson factory by Gibson employees, that's Heritage. You can also replace the pick guard with an aftermarket that looks the same as Gibson. If you've tried the Heritage you may actually like the ergonomics (visual aside) as I think it rests on your leg a little better and easier to play.
