Hi, I have a H535 with SD jazz in the neck and an SD JB at the bridge. Sounds fine to me. Different character to the HRWs in my H575 which seem hotter somehow. Cheers, Greg

Hey Dick Seacup, You got me listening to Psycho Zydeco again - our 2 year old was right into it. I remember listening to them in the blues tent, knee deep in a tropical downpour at Woodford Folk Festival (Queensland Australia) about 7 years ago. There's nothoing like zydeco to get a crowd jumping. Cheers Z

Hi AnH555, Yes it is a beautiful guitar. Because I had to buy it interstate I relied very heavily on photos and comments from both the dealer and the ever helpful Ren at Heritage. Pencilled inside the guitar are the words "Alm sbt" so I'm guessing it's Almond sunburst. The guitar was made in 2001 I think. Z

Hi, Good to see a few other happy Heritage owners in these parts. here's a picture of my H535. Greg heritage.jpg heritage.jpg_thumb

Hi all, My name is Greg and my handle here is Zydecosoultrain. I read postings on this site fairly regularly to learn about this rather unusual guitar manufacturer. I've been taking a jazz lesson each week for some years now, making glaically slow progress but enjoying it immensely. About 2 years ago I replaced my Ibanez AS80 with a heritage H-535. The Heritage had come into Australia in a shipment by a guy who imports second hand Stratocasters. I had to order the heritage without ever seeing one because heritages are as rare as hen's teeth in this part of the world. I got some good advice from Ren at Heritage and took the risk. After some work on the nut and some oil on the fretboard the guitar is perfect, I can't fault it. Great, warm tone from the combuination of Seymour Duncan jazz (neck) and JB (bridge). Wonderfully comfortable neck and great resonance. Anyway, I look forward to hearing from you guys over the next few months. Greg
