Factory 2nd also. Looks like a U or a V to me.

Installed a set of vintage Gibson pickups in my 2017 Heritage H535 Custom this morning. In the bridge…a 1981 Gibson Shaw PAF 7.30. In the neck…an early 70s Gibson T-top PAF 7.15. I gotta say, I like the tone of these pickups in this guitar A LOT better than the last guitar I had them in. (IYV hollow body). I have tried a few different styles of pickups in this H535. It originally came with Duncan Seth’s, which sounded great. Then I had a set of 70s DiMarzios in it and those were great too…but definitely a different flavor. And now the ol’ Gibsons. So far, I’d have to say, the gibsons are more balanced and versatile of the 3 sets!

I missed the 2 above the serial #. Good catch.

If Marv doesn't know anything about it, then did he NOT get one of the 4 guitars? You would think he would know if 4 were made and he got one. I guess it's down to Pete, Ren, Bill or Jim to unravel the mystery.

Pull the control cover and check there. It should be written there. The numbers are 00402. It's hard to tell if the letter is a Q or not. There was a point where their stamp was getting pretty well worn. It made some of the serial number unreadable. For a bit, they wrote them out by hand, then they got a new stamp. They had to do that when they got to AA serials anyway.
