Heritage Guitar Inc. to be sold

Interesting news for you guitar buffs... Those that follow Gibson guitar history know the story where a few Gibson employees went out on their own and took over the old Kalamazoo Gibson factory when Gibson decided to move to TN in 1984. Some folks claim the Heritage plant has been turning out finer guitars than Gibson themselves ever since.

Well, Heritage apparently is finalizing the sale of the company, but no details are yet available as to who the buyer is. Makes you wonder if Heritage guitars from this date and earlier will now become collectible ones that everyone cites as the "good old days" of Heritage, before xyz company took them over and ruined them. Sure hope that doesn't happen to the quality! They are still one of the finer totally US-made guitars.
