strings Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 o.k , at the risk of boring you guys to tears, or putting you all into a coma.............but i gotta tell ya, after a few weeks i have totally taken my 535 to heart. man who knew? had a 335 back in the day, good ax, somehow, i just don't remember the bond with it that i have with this guitar, love to play it. i have 2 G&L's a blues boy, and a custom classic, love these, but a whole different animal, really. i feel like i have found a very special thing, and feel sorry for the folks (maybe) that don't get the amazing quality, playability, and real value of these instruments. life is good..............

Hfan Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Good news Strings. Think I need to dig mine out and bond again. They are great guitars. I have a G&L also. Great guitars but really apples and oranges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tulk1 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Huh! Imagine that. Someone bonding with a Heritage guitar. Well ........ of course!!! And I doubt you'll bore anyone here with your testament. It's the preacher/choir thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I felt that immediately ( and still do ) with my first Heritage, an H-150. And amazingly, feel that with every Heritage that I own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoNameBand Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Good for you. Welcome to the 535 club. This is to be expected with a Heritage 535, it can't be resisted, you must yield to the 535. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heritagefan7 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Can I add to the pile if I have a 555?--If not, I'll just agree with all of your guys and add a 535 to my wish list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triple-Nickels are accepted, but all of us 535ers are going to wonder if you are compensating for something if you have to have all that bling... Just kidding, they are gorgeous!

High Flying Bird Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I like the way a 535 feels in my hands. Standing up or sitting down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duaneallen Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I've had a long adventure with mine. Played countless gigs with it, and recorded a couple of CDs with it. I've also sold it a couple of times, due to stupid fits of gas. Luckily, after coming to my senses, I was able to get it back. No matter what I do, it fits me better than any other guitar; which is why I keeping it for good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidsmoke Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I was out of town for 8 days last week, and on the day I returned, had way too much to do and was unable to touch the guitars. It's funny because, I had my 535 a month before I travelled, and I wondered how it would feel picking it up after a week away, would it make me smile the way my old trusty Idol does. Yeah, man. It was all that and more. Just a fantastic instrument. I continue to feel validated by this thing, as it was a stretch for me at the time, and I've had moments of remorse when I see other dual humbuckered/f-holed/bursted guitars hanging on the wall. But that morning kiss, my hand on her neck, her lower bout resting against my thigh, her arched back against my torso......ahem , yeah, well, it confirmed things.

NoNameBand Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Nothing like a 535. I was playing mine last evening, just using my fingers and that old tweed amp, playing a little blues. I never get over that sound. I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolero Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 AMEN... the 535 kicks major wads of booty....I was jamming with mine thru a 4x12 & cranked 100w amp....wow, nailed the Cream at royal albert hall sound! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersteel Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Some of you may remember that I played my 555 (OK, a 535 w/bling) through my Swart STR at PSP III. Who knew that "Smoke On the Water" could sound so good with a semi-hollow and a 5W amp?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark555 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I can't wait til I can get a 535 to bond with. You will get there eventually Barry, but for now enjoy that beautiful 575 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark555 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Triple-Nickels are accepted, but all of us 535ers are going to wonder if you are compensating for something if you have to have all that bling... Just kidding, they are gorgeous! Well, I did de-bling my 555, it now has no gold on it, new nickel pick up covers, new bridge and stop piece all in nickel, and I polished all the gold plate off the tuners. However, I love sunburst guitars, and my 555 is natural, so I suppose, that it would be a great reason to get a 535 eventually - along with that 150 I have always wanted.
