Great looking 535, Greg! Looking at your handle, I'm feeling like listening to some Buckwheat Zydeco. Unfortunately, I don't have any on my iPlop.
Hey Dick Seacup,
You got me listening to Psycho Zydeco again - our 2 year old was right into it. I remember listening to them in the blues tent, knee deep in a tropical downpour at Woodford Folk Festival (Queensland Australia) about 7 years ago. There's nothoing like zydeco to get a crowd jumping.
Cheers

Wow, Zydeco, love that finish. Do you know what they call it ?
Hi AnH555,
Yes it is a beautiful guitar. Because I had to buy it interstate I relied very heavily on photos and comments from both the dealer and the ever helpful Ren at Heritage. Pencilled inside the guitar are the words "Alm sbt" so I'm guessing it's Almond sunburst. The guitar was made in 2001 I think.

Hi all,
My name is Greg and my handle here is Zydecosoultrain. I read postings on this site fairly regularly to learn about this rather unusual guitar manufacturer.
I've been taking a jazz lesson each week for some years now, making glaically slow progress but enjoying it immensely. About 2 years ago I replaced my Ibanez AS80 with a heritage H-535. The Heritage had come into Australia in a shipment by a guy who imports second hand Stratocasters. I had to order the heritage without ever seeing one because heritages are as rare as hen's teeth in this part of the world. I got some good advice from Ren at Heritage and took the risk. After some work on the nut and some oil on the fretboard the guitar is perfect, I can't fault it. Great, warm tone from the combuination of Seymour Duncan jazz (neck) and JB (bridge). Wonderfully comfortable neck and great resonance.
Anyway, I look forward to hearing from you guys over the next few months.
Greg

Thanks Nuke. That is really interesting. Like your friend, I have a H535 with an Sh-2 in the neck and a JB in the bridge. I also have a H575 with HRWs which I think of as fairly hot compared to the H535. Certainly the H535 makes a lot more background hiss through the amp but that may be due to other electrical issues I guess. I'll try to clean up the input jack on the H575 and carefully compare the neck pickup sound on each guitar.
