Hello all,
I'm a real new member, I just took delivery of a chestnut burst H-535. I fooled around with it for a couple of hours, and I can tell it's going to be fun. Very different from the Strat I've been learning on for the last couple of years. I like the tone, and I'm sure it's plenty versatile for what I want to play. It's got the Seth Lover pups, the Strat has the SCN's. Way different sound. I don't know how much of a difference the shorter scale length will make in playing, but we'll see. I bought it from Wolfe, they didn't have to knock themselves out for the sale. I wanted one, they had one, and that was that. Before Wolfe, I took a flyer on a used one, in fact it was mentioned in the Bay Watch. I felt good when someone remarked after the auction closed "some one got a good deal". Unfortunately, the boys and girls at UPS had their way with it, and I sadly had to return a damaged guitar to the seller. He was a truly stand up guy about it, I've got to say. After thinking about it, and reading this site, I decided to support a small American business, and buy a new one. It's a lovely instrument, I'm looking forward to becoming a better player. I actually think a nice 'tool' makes the work easier, and it is definitely something one can take pride in. So that's that. If I can figure out how, I'll post some photos, but truth be told it's pretty much like any other one, in that color / knob scheme.
