2006 Heritage H-516. For those not familiar, Heritage is more like a large custom shop where guitars are made to order rather than a high production guitar factory. Not only that but the Heritage factory is filled with a history of quality. The legendary workshop in Kalamazoo, Michigan was the original location of Gibson Guitars from 1917 until 1984. This is the same workshop where the iconic guitars like the Gibson L5, Super 400, ES-335, ES-175 and Les Paul were developed and crafted for decades. When Gibson corporate heads decided to move to Nashville, many of the Gibson luthiers didn't want to uproot. The ones who stayed decided to pool their resources to start the Heritage Guitar Company. Staying true to the previous handcrafted workmanship of Gibson, Heritage's quality and attention to detail makes them the one of the finest guitars most of us will ever play.
