    Good tuesday,

    today I started to be a member of the Heritage Owners Club.

    I am living near Berlin/Germany and some years ago I bought 2nd hand a H-535 lefthand (built 2006) from France.

    Due to the fact that never saw something like a certificate of origin, my first question is if you know if there are fakes of H-535 existing and how it ist the best way to find out if your item is original or faked.

    Inside of my H-535 I find only a description of the type: H-535 as well the model: CSNB. Outside at the end is marked with silver colour the registration-number, beginn7ng with W, probalbly standing for built in 2006? 

    My 2nd question is if there is existing a paper with all values of distance how to adjust this instrument factory-like. I not find.

     

    If there is somebody who could give me satisfying answers I would be happy.

     

    Thank you in advance

    Guten Abend Herr OlePinelle,

    The guitar setups that I learned how to perform were on Gibson Les Paul guitars. The Heritage H-535 should use the same procedures to perform all of the setup adjustments because they both have basically the same parts.

    Because I own ten amps, I told myself that I was never going to buy another one.  I made a big mistake today stopping by Sam Ash to wish one of the managers a Merry Christmas.  While we were talking, I noticed a like new used Swart Atomic Space Tone amp with a night light attenuator. Well, that amp now resides in my music room.  I doubt I will ever use the attenuator, but it came with the amp.  Is there a cure for GAS? I think I need therapy.  

    I had never heard of them. They look interesting.

    I ordered that one from GC shortly after you traded it in.  Mostly still the same although I did swap the Schallers for Motor City Pickups Angeldusts.  It was great before but even better now.  Also had my luthier do a proper setup and replace the nut with an unbleached bone nut.  The stock one got too deep on the D string and needed to go. 
     

    Neck carve never bothered me. It wasn’t as thin as some guitars I’ve owned.  Could stand to be a little thicker but definitely playable. 

    Nice!!

    Hey there,

     

    I'm Chris, happy to have found this forum. I've had this 150 Deluxe (I think?) since Probably 1990, maybe even 1989 (memory is a bit foggy) but sadly it has sat unused for most of the the last 20 years or so. I remember when I was maybe 15 or 16 I swapped the pickups out for whatever combo of Seymour Duncans Slash had when he recorded Appetite, and I assumed the originals were lost, but visiting my parents for Thanksgiving (and being forced to go through some old boxes) I found the original Schallers. Seems like from this forum that may not be the good thing I thought it would be lol.

    Anyway, I wish I knew a bit more about the guitar, and more than that I wish I hadn't stopped playing so long ago, but here it is for anyone who's interested in a relatively old one...

    Cool!!

  5. Correction... It seems that the little combo amp is a 20 Watt because I just noticed the thing on the back that said 20 watt RMS. So that would mean that it goes from 20 watts down to 5 watts. Then I reasoned that if that one had a marking like that on the back, then the big one might also say something like that too. Indeed it did. 100 watts RMS. Which is cool because for a long time I thought it was a 50 watt amp.

    Don't know about the reissues, but the originals from the 80's were really good sounding. A close friend of mine gigged with one (2554), and I played that little combo many times. I'm more of a Fender Tweed guy then a Marshall guy, and I could say without a doubt, that I could get tones that were more to my liking than I expected.

    Yeah I can't imagine trying to buy an original as I'm guessing that they are extremely difficult to find and that if you actually found one, it would be WAY too expensive! So I don't really mind the reissue part. They seem to be one of the factory hot rodded models that sound good out of the box an don't require any modifications the way many have done with stock JCM 8000's. And this was also during a made pre-sellout year (where Marshall was sold to some non-English company) and I deem that to be a good thing.

  7. A small Ma&Pa guitar store in my area that I don't go to as often because I moved two counties away had a nifty little amp similar to one of my big amps and the price was too good to pass up, so I bought it.

    I like that Silver Jubilee thing that Marshall has been doing. This little combo amp is a model JCM 2525c and I think it is switchable between 50 watts and 25 watts. The big head that I bought a while back is a JCM 2555 and I think it goes from 100 watts down to 50 watts. Anyway, I also thought that you really can't go wrong with a little combo amp like that so upon seeing it I bought it on the spot.

    I bought this bass. Truss rod was not broken. The headstock had been broken off and very poorly repaired. Sadly unplayable. Fortunately I live in the same state as the legendary Gene Liberty. I felt I owed it to this machine to have it repaired. I will post pics of the finished bass when it once again is playable.

     

    Wow.... Looking forward to seeing it.

    Hello and Hope all is well.

    Picked up a 2018 H-535 artisan aged today.  It’s an amazing guitar.  Light (7.6), resonant, cool checking and play’s wonderful.  I had a Gibson 59 Custom Shop VOS for a few years and never bonded with it.  It was heavier and the MHS picks ups never worked for me.  I have 3 wonderful vintage Gibson’s (46,57,61) made in the Kalamazoo factory that are stellar.  I feel like this has the same vibe and soul.  I had a chance to compare the H-535 today to many Custom Shop 335s,  Standards and Vintage.  This one took the cake.   Best 535/335 I’ve played and I’m not young :).   Thanks Heritage for making this guitar.  I’ve been looking for one like this for many years.

    Outstanding!

    Welcome!

    I just moved into my new studio which is a smaller room, so I bought some shelves to save floor space, get the amps off of the floor, and make them easy to access. I found these cheap shelves at Wayfair. I was a little worried they would be too flimsy, but after putting them together, installing the center struts to stiffen the frames, and doubling up on the wood shelves, they are just fine. After putting together the three individual racks, I bolted them all together, which also stiffened them up. A bonus was that I had some extra room for mic boxes that were piling up on the floor by my recording racks:)

    When I record, I will take the amp(s) that I'm using off of the shelf, as I like the way they record on the floor...

    Amps are...

    Frenzel Super Deluxe Head, Clark Beaufort Deluxe (5E3), Mesa DC-2, Vox AC-15 Handwired, Fender Handwired Reverb Unit Clone (6K6 version), Dirty Girl Reverb (Supro Style 6973 tubes), Tophat Club Deluxe, Victoria Regal II, 1969 Vibro Champ, Fender Princeton Reverb Clone Handwired with vintage Fender transformers (Winnie Thomas), 1964 Fender Deluxe Reverb.

     

    That works!
