Sweet-lookin' guitar! Congrats!

beautiful. congratulations!

Hey brother what didn't you like about the full hollow custom prospect?

Who’s impressed with these? I am. Actually considered shelling out for one in bourbon burst but right now financially it’s not the right time.

Larry is certainly on a guitar buying tear lately!!! A 535, 575 and 530!!! 👍

Just be careful after that fifth Bourbon that you don’t knock it over accidentally

All this talk of H530s started me thinking that one would be quite nice, then I got a message from Cliff Brown of 633 amps. One of his customers had an H530 to sell and, knowing I was a fan of Heritage guitars, would I be interested? Er, yes... Cliff gave me his contact details, I got in touch and arranged to have a look at the guitar, which was located about 1.5 hours drive away. Suffice to say it's a 2018 model in Antique Natural, and playing it through a 633 Firefly (like the one I recently bought) was enough to convince me to buy it. It's light, 2.69kg or 5lb 15oz, and those Lollar P90s sound great! Some pics...

RIP Eric. Blessings to your family. 🙏

Oh fuck!!! That sucks. He was a great guy.

Awesome

Sorry to hear this. RIP LedZef.

Another member that used to traverse to PSP from Vegas, very passionate old school heritage fan. Great guy, We created some really fond memories here in Vegas, especially as cruising Vegas in the Cobra! RIP Eric, condolences to your family and young kids... You will be sadly missed.

I'm glad your pickups don't hum. Mine do. They are reverse wound, so when both are on and the volumes are similar, there's no hum. I use a pedal to eliminate the hum otherwise.

To put this politely, reasonable people have different opinions. I have no quarrel with someone whose preferences differ from mine. I would appreciate a certain humility that precludes stating an opinion as a universal fact though. I do understand that love of guitars is a certain manifestation of mental illness that I suffered with most of my life. I am confident of this much on the topic: weight relieved H-150s weigh less.

I had the same experience but in reverse. Everyone is different…My first Heritage 25 years ago was an amazing 535. Gorgeous!!!! But just too big for me and didn’t sit right on my lap or against my body due to where the contours were. Got a 575MH and was in love. Now a 575 custom, 550 custom and an Skb. All feel ‘just right’.

Hurrumph.

Says the guy who owns the most Fab of Millies.

Thanks for the kind words, Rich. The 530 has risen rapidly in the hierarchy of go-to guitars. I was apprehensive about the P-90s because they're single coil (I think) and I detest single-coil buzz. There's no buzz and I love some of the righteous tones I can dial in. The light weight of the 530 is a nice bonus! My first H was a 530 built to order for me in 2009 or 2010 and I knew not squat about pickup voicings back then.

Millie's are Fab.

Classic!
