    Pre-2016 you could get almost anything you wanted. And you likely could have had it at a reasonable cost. These days I’m not sure how that would go.

    The old days were glorious!

    IMO the Seths sound "airier" than 59's. SD 59's sound a bit muted & dull to me, in comparison to unpotted pickups.

    I have Seth's in a Millenium hollow ( semi-hollow? ) & like them in there

    I don't like the tone of '59s at all.

    ...which is crazy because people take out the HRWs and then sell them for big money.    It's true that one man's trash is another man's treasure.

    I sold my HRWs to a "Guy" in Vegas for a fair price.  I didn't take advantage.

    And nice calipers too.    :occasion14:

    Welcome aboard Mike!  I have a 535 as well.  Great tone machines. 

    Guit, I have an old cheap pair of plastic calipers.  Last week I checked them against a set like in the photo.  The old cheap ones still were dead nuts on but the digital reading and controls were very nice.  Under $50.00 at Lowe's.

    Wow such rich history, thanks for engaging and the pictures.  Did you request the slim style D shape neck or it just came out that way?  This guitar is a tone monster - so beefy and narly, like nothing else I own.

    I asked for the neck to be as thin as structurally possible.

  6. Hi, I'm NoSnowBlower aka Pete. I'm an old employee of Heritage. 1996 to 2003. I've been reading a lot of your posts,and you seem to be great people.

    Hey Pete. I have been to Kzoo for the last 6 years. I will say in any forum that the myth of southern hospitality has nothing on the fantastic people of Kalamazoo, MI.

     

    You may have well worked on several on the Heritage Guitars I have owned. Welcome aboard.

  7.  

    I would not negate that possibility H. Nice name. You obviously have an electron that I lack. I also lack a Heritage axe. So blue ...

    Proton, I might be well placed to design a logo for you free of charge. I have friends who work in the field so I can get ideas. I might have something in my kit ready to go.

     

    A blue Heritage 535 would be light and the tone inside that body would vibrate and ring out like the lights of Chernobyl.

     

    We have a personal messenger here. Don't dismiss it. Send me a PM.

  8. Hello and thanks for the invite.

     

    I am now the proud owner of a H555 in the natural finish. Love this guitar. I didn't know anything about Heritage guitars until several weeks ago and had to have one. I use to own a 74 Gibson ES335 in the walnut finish and am partial to the double cutaway.

    Hope to meet a few friends and learn more about Heritage guitars. My login ID is jdd55 and I'm from Sheffield, AL. Thanks again!

     

    There goes the forum. The last thing we need is more rednecks from north Alabama here. I am from Huntsville.

  9. This is my first post on the Heritage forum. After a lifetime of playing guitar , I bought my first Heritage a few days ago, a used but pristine 2011 H-550 , an absolute work of art. The guitar plays like a dream and I see more heritage purchases in the future. I made a long drive from Tallahassee, Fl to Jupiter to buy this blonde curvy beauty (guitar) from Wolf Guitars which was a great place to spend the morning. Everybody there was helpful in every way making a great impression for Heritage Guitars. I look forward in participating in the forum and have enjoyed reading and learning my way around

    My buddy drove from Jupiter to Huntsville, Al. today. He owns a 550. It has long been one of my favorites. Welcome aboard.

  10. Hey Scott. Good to see you here. A lot of old farts in these hallowed halls. Myself among them. A lot of good information and a lot of laughs here. Stay tuned.

     

    I see you hail from Texas. As a Tennessean I am, by law, obligated to remind you of our state's sacrifice in helping make Texas a Republic. My people were the one's wearing skunk skin hats.

  11. Oh yea.. I forgot. I like beer too. I'm into IPAs right now.

    Dave

    Oh, the stories I could tell......

     

    I have known Dave for many years. He is the original Dave who "kept a dead ho' in a cave." Poor guy has access to 2-150s, 2-535s a 550 a 357 & the 475. I suspect he will be a Heritage owner before the PSP.
