That 2015 appears to have a wood pick guard. How'd that happen?

They have always used wood PG's (maple). Now they changed to Ebony and the more rounded shape.

Another looker.

 

That makes three of us this past month! I'd say we're lucky to get these fine 2015 535s.

I called "Dibs" on your 535, remember? :)

 

This little trio from the class of '15 looks great, whatever the pick guard.

Maybe I misunderstood. Your 2015 came with a plastic pick guard and this one (2015, right?) has a wooden one.

Thats interesting, I thought that Ebony was expensive and becoming hard to find. My new Prospect came with a pick-guard (not installed) Must be an Ebony one.

For some reason Bluenote, mine did come with the plastic guard. I don't know how that happened. I spoke to Jay Wolfe about it (not the dealer I purchased it from) and he said it could possibly be an aftermarket PG. At any rate, I can live with it.

Will Jay make a wood pickguard for you? Seems he has some really nice ones on many of his Heritage stock.

No, Jay said call Heritage and they may do it.

Mine came from Heritage directly. My brother lives near Kalamazoo and was able to get it there. Everyone working there signed the sticker on the inside!

I also just got a NOS '15 and can't believe that it was never sold!

That is the perfect looking 535 in my opinion. I also LOVE the pickguard, it looks perfect on that guitar.

 

I may eventually order that same pickguard for my Custom 555 (custom in that it has the wood combinations of a 535 with rosewood fretboard, mahogany neck, but with the 555 inlays).

I love it too John, it is definitely perfect. How would one go about ordering one? Does Heritage make them on request?

I've said it before I'll say it again. A curly maple topped 535 is, in my opinion, the epitome of Heritage Guitars. Congrats on a fine guitar Will.

Thanks Kip, she is definitely a keeper.

A keeper? I thought it was for sale, El Numero?

That's exactly what I was thinking! A keeper for somebody, apparently.

"Momentary lapse of reason", as David Gilmour would say. She's too pretty to let go, and I am in the process of unloading some of my percussion gear. Thanks for taking note!

That's how the new pickguards can do the guitar justice... be a bound or triple ply....the single ply looks cheap.

 

 

That is a beautiful guitar! Congrats!
