Me & the 3 amigos.

Yes, they are making their version of a staple pickup. Square Alnico magnets, P90 size. The head winder was showing a couple of us how he is making them. That guy is like a chef in the kitchen when it comes to pickups!

My first Heritage was a blonde 576. It was a great guitar that lent itself to just about any style of music. Gigged it a bunch. Ultimately put a set of Duncan Phat Cats in it, a terrific marriage. I'll always have a soft spot for that guitar! And yikes, haven't seen this picture in ages. Must be from close to twenty years ago....

Yeah, you were so much older then, you're younger than that now!!!! 😁

Even without jumping the channels the 5E3 volumes interact.

This is my Roy Clark. It's the size of a 535 with a deep single cutaway and a bit more bling.

Some of the inside baseball from PSP is they will soon be selling their pickups. Didn't get a specific time frame other than soon.

Chris, did you say Staple? No way!

I'm excited: Heritage is making their own staple P90's in house now

It's the flying monkeys!

I ran across this video some time back, and somehow I found it again this morning. Not only is there a sweet 535, but check out the cool dude playing it!!! I think I've seen him before.

I think Fender is behind this.

Maybe we should switch to Asian porn instead of Swedish porn.

I bet that will catch a few "occasional" users. I had to check to see which of 5 emails was used.

--sorry for screwed up formatting on this post. Can't seem to fix it, and don't have time to start over... Gibson did move the neck joint to the 19th fret (like a 335) in 1968, and these are called "long-neck es330s or 330L's." There are a couple, both original and reissue, on sale on Reverb: We had a thread. about this years ago. There's a post that I think TalismanRich made that shows the interior of a 530, which has a pretty substantial block.https://www.heritageownersclub.com/forums/topic/37263-question-about-the-h-530/

FWIW, with the Gibson ES330, the neck joins at a different point than an ES335. On the H-530, it joins at the same point as the H-535. You can see that the bridge is mounted at a different point of the f hole. It was something I noticed when I was trying out a Blues Driver and used an ES330. It felt different than my 530, and I couldn't at first, figure out why. Here are the Gibsons vs the Heritages.

Thanks Mark

Thanks John.

And just in time. I amost bought a Gibson......
