Never Met A H535 That I Didn't Like

I just realized today that there has never been a 535 that I didn't like. On the other hand, I've seen and owned a number of other guitars that I either didn't buy because of something I didn't like about it or sold at some point because there was something about it that I just didn't like. However, I've seen a lot of 535's for sale and I do not recall ever seeing a single 535 that I thought "ewww, I don't like ____________ about that guitar." I've owned two 535's. One I still own, and the other, selling it left me wounded, regretting that I ever sold it in the first place. 535's are fantastic! Everyone needs to own at least one.

 

If you love 535's, I invite you to post your pictures in this thread. 555's are okay too. :)

 

This is the one I got from Cajun Dave.

This H535 reminds me of "the one that got away". It sat on display for 2years. It was a wonderful guitar but the headstock was wrong for your average player.

I finally reduced the price to cover costs and still it sat there. Only myself and a guy that worked in another store "got it".

I just wasnt in a semi hollow state of mind at the time and seemed to be loving and buying a lot of strats and amps.

We stopped stocking any Heritages and it was the last one left. I was just about to give up and just take it home when I got an email or phone call regarding it and me being enthused by the guitar and Heritage in general and him also being a previous Heritage owner it went.

And then I realised that was it. It was gone. Done. Over.

 

Now Im all about 535's 335's. Au$ shot to ribbons and Im not in the industry anymore so no staff deals. Missed opportunity right there.

I've been more than fortunate to have owned a pile of really good wood over the past fifty years. Of all those pieces, this 535 is the best instrument of the lot. I have other guitars which do one thing better, but no package like this one!

Hey guys btw, anybody know what kind of pickups I got on this? Not that sharp on my guitar tech :)26ead8e07f1c36e84e6a5450f6548b53.jpg

You'll have to pull the pickups to see the back side of them to know for sure.

 

Look like Seymour Duncan Alnico Pros or a Slash set.... Just a guess.

If it was something factory installed that was unusual , it would likely be noted on the label inside. If aftermarket, could be one of many zebra humbuckers...

Not the greatest photo, but here's mine, a custom order from Wolfe (basically his 35 Special with an ebony board). It took a little while for this guitar to settle in, but it has become an all-time favorite.

I'll toss my two 535's into the ring - one purchased new and one used, love 'em both. These are definitely my favorite body style (also have a 530 for that P90 fever). The wooden pick guards on these guitars is one of the most stunning additions that I don't think I've ever seen another manufacturer do, especially as a typical (if not default) option.
