My name is Logan. I first caught the Heritage bug a few years ago when I was in the market for an es 335. I was taking guitar lessons with Vince Lewis at the time and he told me that he had a former student selling an h535. I went to the guy's house to check it out and bought it on the spot.
My 535 is pretty much the only electric I've played for the last 2 years and it seems like I fall in love with it again every couple months. I fantasize about owning another heritage with a bigsby and p90s, but for now my 535 is still killing it.
Here's a video of me playing it at a show in Baltimore recently. I was going to post a picture but then I thought, whats better than just seeing it? Seeing it and hearing it!
Also, heres a soundcloud playlist of some recording's I've done. Anything by my band Hemingway was played on the 535.
Any friend of Vince's is a friend of ours.... Welcome, Logan. Love that your first post is a vid of the 535 in action. Nicey nice! They are remarkable instruments! You playing through just the Excelsior, or the Orange as well. Rig info? And good job on the tune, everybody!

Boy, does this speak to my current lust for an acoustic archtop! Rob, I have a P-90 Super Eagle. What a box! Love your pics, and your Super and L5 are lovely! Great color on the L5!

Welcome aboard , Kvamp.
I trust the 150 will become a favorite of yours, as it has the Kalamazoo magic in it. ..... and we always like to see pics, if possible.
And I'm sure we'll hear more of this cool stuff for guitar players that you build, it sounds intriguing
Yo, fellas! Ken is a good pal and will have a lot to say about amp guts, vintage spec, and woodwork, I hope. He's a primo cat, and knows his stuff! Some of you have already auditioned his work at PSP's II and III. Ken built the cabs for both The Note, my green 30W piggyback (PSPII), and The Felix, my 25W two-tone combo, through which Vince played at PSPIII. His new VSB 150 is a stone player with a few bumps and bruises, and exquisite tone!
(Thanks for the kudo, Fred!)

Welcome, Duffy. Nice pile of stuff you have there. And yes, it is time for a Heritage. Spend just a bit of time casting around here, and you'll find a wealth of information, tons of experience and informed opinion on Heritage guitars, and a bunch of terrific folks. The "Bay Watch" and "For Sale" sections offer any number of good instruments, regular turnover, and the HOC "staff" offering up informed opinions and practical observations. Enjoy!

I've been out of this loop too long...sorry! Lots of new cats weighing in, and lots of great looking Heritages! Welcome all! You've all posted at least once, now get on with it! So many good folks, so much valuable experience here. What a terrific site....

Welcome, 'Ox! Very nice 150! And those Music Man amps will blow out a three alarm housefire at 100 yards!

Welcome, Aris. Opa!

I've been out of touch with this thread for a while, ashamed to say. Tim's (Gitfiddler's) post says it all. Just like to extend a welcome to the big influx of newbies we've had recently, many of whom have dived right in! Welcome all!

Nice looking 150, morbid'. I like the color on that one, and welcome to the forum!

Time is not the same as in the US...
So, Bernhard, do clocks in Germany run faster or slower than the clocks in the States? And how many hours in a day for you? :wink: Seriously, welcome to the forum. Nice looking Heritages!!

When did Belgium get a government?

...just because it wants to be picked up and played all the time. Yay!
They all do, Haye!! They all do!! Welcome to the forum!

Maybe one you guys could explain to me why I shouldn't want one of these instead of a Gibson?
Explain why you shouldn't want one? No can do, man!

Let me add my welcome to Bird's, backline. This is not a bad place at all to spend time when you really should be working.... "...classy patina and finish checking," that's what I like to hear!

The guitar is cited on family web page at:

Regards,
Woody
Welcome, 'wood! My kind of top on that 140! Just the right curl and mineral streaking! Cool!

Anyone else remember when it was easy to keep track of new members joining?
Did we ever decide on and award a prize to #500...or is that still in committee? Seems some
flattering pictures of Brent were among the offerings >

You've come to the right place, loaded six! Once your post is read by the regulars, you'll get an absolute earful, most of it objective, practical, and very enthusiastic regarding Heritage guitars. There's much to know about Parsons Street, a quirky place, peopled by some genuine characters, out of which come some of the most magical instruments you'll ever lay hands on! But you have to learn to navigate the HOC, e-Bay, craigslist, and a far-flung dealer network to scare up what you're looking for. But this is the place to start! Good luck! Might want to go back to the homepage and post in the "Heritage guitars" as a new thread for better response, though.

when playing, the bass E start to vibrate even if I do not touch it, and this is a bit bothering. Is it normal or is it again a matter of setup?
ciao
Welcome, bobpell! Italy, very cool! The string vibration, if I understand your description clearly, is feedback. This is common in semi-hollow and hollow body guitars. There is a lot of sound (air, of course) moving in and around a hollow body guitar, both from the amplifier and the guitar's vibrating strings. Often a string, open or fretted, will respond to that sound by vibrating sympathetically, in unison, with a note coming from the amp and the guitar. There are different ways to correct this. You might reduce the volume a bit; you could adjust the bass and treble controls on the amplifier; you could stand in a different location or turn slightly one way or the other relative to the amp; there are devices (even a simple inflated balloon) you can put into the guitar to reduce the air movement. You'll have to experiment to see what works for you. I'm sure some of the guys on the forum will have other suggestions. There are many knowledgeable, experienced players here. Good luck, and keep us posted.

Hello, Jerry, and welcome to the forum!!! Since you brought it up, I'll testify. I'm a dyed-in-the-wool P-90 fan! I have a Super Eagle with the Lollar P-90's in it, part of my custom spec for the guitar. Just a fabulous pickup!!! Enjoy the forum; there are many fine cats here and a wealth of knowledge and experience!

Welcome, bilbal! Gorgeous color on your 535! That's the way they should look...nice! 8)

Hey...just noticed! Congrats and welcome to Bobba2k, the 600th member. Guess Bobba's in line to get the same swag as the 500th member! Johnny, tell Bobba what he's won....

Welcome Bubbah. Nice machines; my kind of stuff! They look like real players all!!! Nice Jerry Donahue lookin' Tele. Nice rug! ;D

...Danny Gatton, etc. Listening to mostly straight ahead jazz these days though. Does that mean I'm getting old?
Yes, that does indeed mean you're getting older. But the Gatton will keep you younger and certainly humble....:wink: Welcome to the HOC.

And welcome! Good spot, the HOC! I've been here since 2007 and can vouch for the kinship, useful info, and...entertainment quotient. The 535 is arguably Heritage's consistently best instrument. Not much you can't do with one!
