@tsp17...Congratulations on your latest archtop score. GE's are wonderful, world class instruments. Play it in good health.

Hey Brent, George Thorogood played the original Gibson (ES-125) version of your cool H525 (see below). But if you ever decide to put a set of flatwounds on it, that 525 can become a sweet little jazz box. What a versatile gitfiddle!

Awesome score, Brent! H525's are my all time favorite Heritage model.

Both the Stones and the Faces in their prime played through Ampeg SVTs on their arena tours. And in the studio Ampeg VT22 and VT40 amps. Ron Wood used to slave a little Fender Princeton in to an Ampeg SVT. What a tone!!!
This is the first I've read of any band using Ampeg VT22 guitar amps. Great (LOUD & HEAVY) rig! I bought it new around 1970-ish to replace my old Fender Pro (1x15). That VT22 was so heavy, I had to beef up the rear suspension on my Dodge Dart. 🙂🤪

@brentrocks...Brother, you are the original 'fix-it dude' when it comes to battered Heritage guitars.
Like your former broke-neck 535 of a few years back, this restored CC 535 came out great!

60's slim taper neck profile on the new 'Standard II Collection" models??
Maybe they're targeting youngsters looking for their first guitar. I begged for a guitar when I was 12, so I get it.
As long as Heritage continues to offer thicker necks as an option across the product line, I see this as no big deal.

IIRC, the last truly great Heritage announcement was the introduction of the beautiful H-717 archtop. I have no idea what's coming, but the speculation gave me another excuse to post this amazing (expensive) archtop. 🙂

Thanks, everyone! My guitar repair guy told me that a P90 guitar should stay a P90 guitar, way too much hassle to change to HBs.
Good decision. It's much easier to convert a humbucker equipped guitar to P90 than the other way around.
There are many quality humbucker-sized P90 on the market.
Sometimes the best solution is to buy another guitar. At least, that's what I've been telling my wife over the years. 🙂

My buddy just received his first Heritage guitar. It is one of the last of the current H535s. Unfortunately, there are issues. One of the issues is that it arrived in a very cheap Chinese-made case. It is one of those crappy, almost rubber-feeling Chinese cases with the cheap, very gold-looking latches that sheds black fur. It’s a case that might come with a cheap import guitar. Is this a mistake? Or, has Heritage really cheapened out? I heard that Heritage started having cheap Asian-manufactured guitars built. Maybe this case was supposed to go out with one of those? My H535 came in a much better case. I think it may be a TKL. I would be concerned that this Chinese case would quickly designate if gigged.
The case actually looks better in the photos than in person.
Have you reached out to the seller or Heritage about your concerns?

@CVS...Welcome to the HOC. You certainly have all of the sonic basses covered with that amazing trio.
In my view the versatile H530 fits perfectly between the 137 and 575. 👍

@TalismanRich...Now THAT is a sweet H530. Congratulations. 🤩

It’s okay Brent, I’m sure you’ll break even in a month or two when you sell it.
