Heritage Guitars

For decades, Heritage Guitars has been crafting the finest American-made guitars built on the foundations of tradition, craftsmanship and authenticity. It is this very ethos and dedication to keeping the spirit of guitar-building alive that has been consistent since the very first day we opened our doors.

During the spring of 1985, several Kalamazoo guitar luthiers, passionate about the tradition of handcrafting beautiful high quality electric guitars, purchased space at the iconic 225 Parsons Street factory along with its original guitar-making equipment.

Our founders shared a wealth of guitar-building experience and an unwavering belief that every guitar should be as unique as the musician who plays it. It wasn't long before people took notice and started bringing their stories to us — we introduced our first guitar at the 1985 NAMM show and haven't looked back since.

Today, we are defined by our unwavering approach to cutting-edge craftsmanship. The bespoke experience starts at our Custom Shop, where the most remarkable guitars ever seen and heard are built by our artisans at 225 Parsons Street to exact specifications. Our Standard Collection is a favorite among players seeking an American-made guitar that amplifies their passion for music.

As the world evolves and welcomes a new generation of musicians, so does Heritage. We continue to forge strong relationships with our discerning customers and make the world's finest musical instruments, blending the expertise from 225 Parsons with modern innovation.
