H-535 Custom Order


DetroitBlues

Recommended Posts

Well, my bet is now forfeit (according to Daniel anyway, but I still argue the point).

 

I sent off my deposit to begin construction of a very modest, humble H-535.

 

It's to celebrate my birthday next year (turning 40).

 

Spec's are as follows:

 

Cherry Red Flame Maple Top H-535

Cream Binding

Kluson Tuners

Chrome Hardware

Seth Lover Pickups

No Pickguard (will install a G-Style later)

Black Pickup Rings/Switch Tip

Bound Rosewood Fretboard

Dot Inlays

Bound MOP Inlaid Headstock

Long Tenon

Short/Small Heal

"Marv Carve" Neck Profile (to be a .900' at nut and 1.0" at 12th)

 

Delivery is requested for June of 2016.

Ah, what a superb idea for the decade mark! I would have asked for it a month sooner just to insure it's finished on my BDay! Congrats.

I'm more or less hoping for next PSP (hopefully there will be one)

 

What do you mean hopefully? It's our obligation to celebrate your new guitar day with you and, perhaps, smoke a cigar with a dram while others quaff their bells.

Just a little teaser............although not quite per your spec's, this one might be close.

The bound headstock is a very nice upgrade.

But, jeez, 14 months is a long ways off.

Nice 40th, Josh. Surprised. But still ... way to go. A guitar for the next generation of Josh-lings.

I've said the only replacement for my Dot will be a Heritage that is similar to it. That was my go-to guitar and its one I really miss. For me, it's no surprise. The woody tones with some bite were awesome.

Lyle's pic is much better, but, of, course, MY 535 is much better than his.... More teasing.

And Your/My/Yooper's Chinese Dot Deluxe that is the best looking one I've ever seen with the fattest neck ever... What was I/You thinking, letting it go?!

And IMNSHO, it has the nicest pickguard and it's the only one of the lot with a proper ABR. And it's so nice that it almost makes me ignore the glass of wine on the Miller Lite coaster:) You guys know I have a lot of cool guitars, but I still play my Epiphone Dot all the time!!!

Your/My/Yooper's Chinese Dot Deluxe

 

Since the monetary value will never rise to the tonal value of this beauty, she may well be with me to the end. The Seths and other upgrades really allow it to sing with the best of 'em, while sporting the looks to match. It has drawn lustful attention, to be sure.

 

Thank you, Brian and Josh for guiding this sweet Epi to my den.

Yoop I may put a set of nice pickups in my Epi, because I have a nice harness sitting around here doing nothing, so why not! All ES335s and H535s are plywood, so what really separates these from the big boys other than good electronics and hardware??? Mine sounds great even with the stock pickups in it!

That's really how I felt about that Dot. Since there won't be another Dot in my future, might as well get a Heritage that brings that tone back to me.

That was the best photo I had from when Schundog owned it... Besides, real men don't use coasters.... j/k!
