Thanks man!

Thanks Tim!! I opted to leave the back and rim alone. I was trying to keep the cost of the project down.

Wheeewwww!!! Holy crap!! Wiring a holow body guitar SUCKS!!! Lol. I tell ya what though, it was well worth it! What was a half-ass refinish, is now a classy, respectable tone machine. The guitar still has great tone and superb playability, but now it looks beautiful!!! Dave did a wonderful job on refinishing the top…factory quality. Granted, the rest of the body is still the matte black finish, but it actually goes well with the Silverburst. Aside from re installing the electronics, everything went back together super easy. I had to re condition the fretboard (because of taping off the fretboard). Then installed a new set of GHS 9s and she was ready to rock!!!

I got the guitar back from Dave today!! OMG It’s absolutely gorgeous!!! Ok….time to go fishing. Lol

Wow. Thats amazing

All the time??? I see like maybe 1 a year come up for sale

Hopefully will be picking it up Saturday !!!!

Dave Teski (lead paint artist for Heritage) is doing a refinish on just the top of my H525!!! He sent me this pics yesterday. He’s going to be buffing it out Saturday!!

Great video

LOLLAR p90s are the best. Hands down

Just picked this up It’s not a RAT circuit. It’s a dual stage distortion/fuzz. I’ll post a clip soon!!! https://www.daredevilpedals.com/shop-1/p/the-chicago-rat?utm_medium=email&utm_source=customer_notification

That’s an old picture, I didn’t actually find it, but I found the old picture. Lol.

WOW!!!!!

What’s the going rate for a set of HRWs these days? What’s your thoughts?

When I think of the H525, that’s my first thought. Lonesome George

That thought did cross my mind But my budget is very tight. I’m going to ask Dave to try to buff the matte to black on the back and rim if possible. And then just do a gloss SILVERBURST on the top.

Wow, that is pretty cool! The only thing I don’t like about that bridge configuration is that it is kind of a pain in the butt with String changes.

I thought about having the whole body stripped and go back to an original tobacco burst finish, but that would probably cost me $1000, and I don’t wanna put that kind of money into the Guitar right now. Plus, I would love to have another Heritage that matches the Silverburst finish on my custom core 157.

Yes he does. He’s done lots of work for me over the years

So…. After getting this baby setup for 9s, and getting it all dialed in, I have come to the conclusion that…. This H525 is friggin awesome!!! Holds tune like a champ!! The 2 Lollar p90s sound absolutely amazing!!! I’ve never had a Faber bridge on a guitar before. I really like it. It’s a locking bridge. The neck is a very comfortable medium C carve. Sets up with a medium/low action. Frets show minor wear. The guitar is nice and light. It has a slight bit of neck dive, but it’s hardly noticeable. Overall, a very nice playing Heritage guitar with great tone!!!!

Thanks Scott!! My go to guy is Dave Teski. One of the finish guys at Heritage

I’m thinking about having a Silverburst finish shot on just the top and then leaving the back and the rim satin black. To match my 157 custom core.
