  1. beautiful piece, those three miniHBs are great looking
    it'd be cool to hear how it sounds

    great Heritage pieces there, sorry but I'm fond of the pre-acquisition Era....that "mojo" is gone forever

    (yes, I get it...I get it)

    Hello,

    My name is Jim (Justblues here).  I only have one Heritage (a 1989 Heritage 575) with a floating pickup.  I am currently thinking about swapping out the pickup to a Kent Armstrong or a Krivo.  The original pickup was dead when I bought it second hand almost 30 years ago and it has a Barcus Berry Single coil that works, but I think  it's time to upgrade.  I haven't played it much in a LONG while, but getting ready to change that. I also have a bunch of other guitars and have  been playing guitar for 50+ years.

    Thanks,

     

    Jim

     

    Ps. Sorry for the double post

    welcome, and if you can show your 575 ?

    Grazie Gianluca!

    ?

    And now it's time to look for a nice old h-150, a special color would be really perfect to me...

    A question: if I buy a used guitar on the market of this forum I have to pay taxes to have guitar in Rome or just shopping costs? 

     

    Ciao Nico,

    I shared the computation replying to some other post in the HOC forum somewhere,
    anyways, the amount onto wich the taxes and customs are computed is given by: declared cost of the goods + cost of shipping + cost of insurance(if any)
    you will have to pay: customs + taxes + some other legal one-time importing docs

    last time I could extimate around 36% added to original price

    you might want to have a look at: https://www.adm.gov.it/portale/dogane/cittadino/acquisti-su-internet you'll find your way around it
    you might want to consider buying from ConEU too, that'd mean only: cost of goods + shipping (in Italy there are good Heritage guitars on the used market)

    I think you get the picture ?

  5. Hello,

     

    my first post after I just received my Custom H535ALSB.

    Ebony fingerboard, the largest I could ask for(1.75 inch nut width), Gold hardware- TonePro bridge & stop bar, Grover keys,

    tone control push-pulls for coil splitting.

     

    It's very comfortable to play and gives a wide range of tone, the single coil mode is the new thing for me because on my other non-Heritage guitars I only have humbuckers.

    I plugged it into a Fender Montreux mosfet amp, using a CryBaby followed by a BKButler(3knobs) tube driver.

     

    I know you guys understand how such a joy can be, I was almost speachless.

     

    My current setup is:

    - TheHeritage 2014 Custom H535(new from J.Wolfe)

    - Martin 2004 D-35

    - Gibson 1990 Les Paul Classic 1960(bought new in Salem MA)

    - Gibson 1995 ES135(bought used in Boston)

    - Ibanez 1979 mod. 2622(Steve Miller)(bought used in Italy)

    - Ibanez 1975 ST-300(bought used in Italy)

     

    I only took that picture which is not so great, I'll take better pictures later on.

     

    Now I'm a fully compliant HOC memeber :icon_rendeer:

     

    Ciao,

    Gianluca
