    HI all,

    I recently became the proud owner of a Sweet 16. What an amazing instrument; the best electric I have ever played.

    Last fall, I was playing a few concerts in Grand Rapids, and took a free afternoon to drive down to Kalamazoo, and toured the factory. Met Ron Duerloo, Pete, and others.

    Everyone was super hospitable. That place is a World Heritage site!

     

    Excellent choice. Welcome to the cult.

    Hello to all of you!

     

    My Name is Ralph and I am from Europe/Germany.

     

    I own a 1991 H150 - bought in 1994 - and most recently I aquired a H535 a 2009 model, 25. Anniversary series.

    My H150 has a badge at the rearside of the headstock stating "selected edition".

     

    Origionally I was looking for an other Kalamazoo-sister :laughing7: when I found the H535 a few weeks ago. Today I am very happy that "my" H535 saved me from spending a lot more money....

     

    Okay, as I am from Germany, I am not a native Speaker. So please forgive me when my english is "rubbish" or when I shuffled my english through my german brain and the words are not as accurate as they should be ...

     

    Looking forward discussing with you or sharing infos.

    Have a nice day wherever you are on the planet!

    Ralph

    In my OP I promised the back story for Blue Beauty. I am a salesman and I have a customer who I call on regularly, but she doesn't buy much - if anything. Earlier this year a colleague and I were discussing her business and he mentioned that she had a "room full" of guitars and amps, and that she was trying to sell it all. I had a friend and his brother that were both in the market for some good quality instruments to add to their collection so I told them, not thinking that I could afford anything at the moment.

     

    When they reported back they had bought a Suhr and a Satriani Ibanez - both solid bodies, and a boutique amp. The next time I saw my customer she was very appreciative of the referral, and she wondered if I was interested in looking at some of the stuff. She explained that her son-in-law had passed away the year before after a courageous battle with leukemia, and that she was selling his collection to settle his financial affairs since most of his estate went to stratospheric medical bills, leaving his family with not much. With a lump in my throat I took a look at the H555 and pretty much knew I would have to find a way to get this guitar. She wanted buyers who would care for the instruments the way her son-in-law had.

     

    Tax return time came along and the rest is history. It's a '99 and in pretty good shape, only one very minor nick in the binding on the back. The price was right, but the story was better. I am a lucky man.

    :thumbsup:
