Hello I have just joined the forum and have always wanted to own a Heritage guitar and fortunately managed to buy one last week a 1999 535 and it has a unusual tailpiece for this model guitar I think does anyone have more information on this please? Thanks Dave

That's a beauty! Welcome, Dave.

I have a 535 from 2002 in Antique Natural. I think the knobs, bridge/tailpiece and pickups are more typical on mine of what their "standard" models were - mine does have the VIP pickup switching option (2 additional toggle switches).

Ah, a 1999 H535 with a one-of-a-kind "H" custom tailpiece.  Very cool git. 

Back in those days Heritage would do almost anything a customer wanted as an add-on custom option...and for not a lot of dough.

Here is the tail piece of a buddy's 550.  Who knows if you 535 was a custom order, an employee build or the H tail piece was added later.  I suspect it was added later.  It doesn't really matter I am sure your 535 will howl.  I love my 535.

Here are more photos of it no doubt idea about the history of this but I have seen them on a 575 that’s why I thought it was odd. Anyway I have owned a few ES335s but this feels more old school Gibbons And plays beautifully
