I played a couple of their guitars recently while shopping for an archtop, and was impressed.

Nothing stays the same, and Heritage might well make better guitars with the help of CNC and other machines.

Martin went to using machines many years ago, and I think Larrivee uses a CNC in their factory.

Corporate decision, of course, as the bottom line is key for survival and growth.
