Hi Everyone, I bought an H-535 in the early 2000s from the legendary Stan Jay at Mandolin Brothers in Staten Island. My serial number is in the pic. The Certificate they gave me was for a very different serial number. Really long shot, but if by any slim chance someone has mine and I have yours, let's trade certificates! I'd also love more information on what pickups, color, and other specs are in mine. Thanks

Baby got Back!!!!

I've owned a few over the years. They are big guitars. It's obvious looking at the specs. It'd more obvious playing one. They are striking with beauty because of the great woods used, their finishes, and their size. Most people can get comfortable with them if they put the hours in. I'll state this anecdote once again. I was at Heritage talking to Marv Lamb with Ren Wall and Bill Paige. I asked what it cost to order a SKB in a certain finish. Marv asked me why I would want to pay all that extra for a SKB when I could order a Super Eagle with a Florentine cutaway and get the same thing for hundreds less. The point he was making is that the artist models cost more because money goes to the artist for each guitar built. In the end I got a SKB used for less than either model new. I have found that used ones came up occasionally and were generally minty. It seemed back then that those who bought them either kept them in excellent shape while playing them or just didn't play them. Now they are collectible. I have a few big ass guitars, Super Eagle size. I found that you will eventually get comfortable with the size. Beware the feedback. You'll learn to sort that out too.

The web says a limited run of 50. No telling with the record keeping back then. I recently saw a sapphire blue one that was made in 2015. What year is your beauty?

Gigged with it last night with the 12at7 in v1 and 7581As in the power section. AWESOME tone and stayed clean and sweet deep into high volume (for this room) territory. Amp never sounded better. Success is good. So many tone experiments gone wrong and ending up in the shop or worse than the baseline….nice to get one right now and then. It helped that our band had a best show ever last night. A lot of fun was had all around.

Great Pedal!!! I had one for a while. Loved it.

i have number 011. How many are out there in the wild?

ha, agree

I'm a sucker for stingers. If I ever had a custom guitar built it would have a stinger. And that flame on that multipiece neck, it's fine! The guitars that I have that stay in tune the best and are some of the best sounding, are the ones with multipiece necks! My dragon Zemaitis guitar is multipiece and that neck rings like a tuning fork!

Here's a shot of the back

cool guitar!

Nice I have a Class of 00 Millie H150. Q serial #!

No one will ever complain about having twin blondes!

I want to see the pictures too!!!

I don't think so. I can check. One of them has a serial number with an H.

Thanks. Sorry I forgot your handle 🙄

@RJLII I'll send you a pic

Only person from Canada I remember being there was Bolero, but his guitars were borrowed from Pete Farmer.... Of course, there are other members too that I don't always remember where they are from....

I’m seeking a photo of a member’s guitar. The member, whose name escapes me, is from Canada. I said hi to him at PSP this year at the tour. He has a Millennium with a natural back and a solid cream top. A real looker. I commented on it when we spoke last month. A contact on another forum is considering this finish combo and I wanted to share a photo if possible. I checked the gallery section but most of the photo links are broken. Help a brother out? TIA

We did a deal in which he got one of the Heritage built Gretsch Synchromatics, which are Super Eagle bodies with Gretsch appointments. The two 555s should land at my home shortly. He is a jazz player and has already setup the Gretsch. He has had Super Eagles before but in a way forgot that they are big ass guitars. He's happy with the playability, the sound, and the wow factor!

I had one glitch. For some reason, it dropped sync one time in the 3 hours that it was on. I just had to press the button and it reconnected within a few seconds. No telling what happened. It's a 5.8gHz so it might be the result of a wifi conflict. It has multiple channels, so next time I'll try a different one. Sound wise, it was great. I had the Strymon dialed in for the neck pickup, and kicked in the NotaKlon a few times, and used the chorus on a couple of songs. I also used the wah for one song.

Been using a different brand wireless system for years now at gigs and while practicing. I have never had any issues. Your smart to bring backup cables in case you do. let us know how it works out for you.

First you need a proper computer.... I recommend this one.
