Here's a story about our local Kalamazoo Fretboard festival that contains some cool pictures of the old Gibson/Heritage factory.

The story as many of you probably know is Gibson moved out of kalamazoo about 31 years ago. Some of the old Gibson employees stayed and got together and formed Heritage, which is housed in the old Gibson factory. They still use alot of the original machines that made Gibsons back in the day.

 

You might notice the Gipson smoke stack in one of the pictures that was built in the 20s. They're tried to come up with the funds to save it, but I'm not optimistic.

 

I'm not in the market for new gear, but I'd buy a Heritage over a current Gibson any day.
