Kuz Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Kuz, so is it safe to say that your pics are an accurate representation of the VSB finish? Yes, the four I just posted, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comancheplayer Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 Yes, the four I just posted, yes. Thats is the guitar in my head I must say. Kuz, I see your in Ohio, how close are you to the PA border? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Flying Bird Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Kuz, so is it safe to say that your pics are an accurate representation of the VSB finish? I hate to be mean, but no. Some of Kuz's early photos were taken before Nikon got their white balance settings corrected. A few years ago he got a new Nikon and his color issues were gone. This camera will do it right. By the way, this is a big camera. If I were holding it it would look like a suit case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuz Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 This is the pic that does it for me. Yea, that pic has too much orange and red, and probably the contrast is up. The other pics are true of the colors, and honesly to me I like the "correct" colors BETTER!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitBlues Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Your my kind of guy Kuz, You now know I'm coveting you precious Greeny so you go and post 4 more pics of it just for me. Your a swell guy. I want to see a big photo of that SRV Number 1 Strat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comancheplayer Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 I want to see a big photo of that SRV Number 1 Strat! Before I do, I must issue the disclaimer that it is not a genuine signature guitar. I was in need of a beater guitar for going places (friends homes, and others after work). Since I wasn't going to leave a good guitar in the car, I decided I needed a beater strat, then I found a website based on building SRV strats and so I decided to build my own out of used parts found at a friends shop.

That is quite wise!!!! A couple of guys on this site wanted to get grimy pizza hands over a "former salmon, now creamsicle" Kirn Tele that I had at our reunion!!! Can you imagine the nerve of some these guys around here!!!! LOL FWIW, I saw your thread about Heritage guitars' headstocks over on TGP. I am glad you weren't just giving us the lip service over here. If/when you get a Heritage you be a fine embassider, but even without a Heritage you are a HOC forum member!!!!

Hey Kuz thanks, once you get to know me or if you speak to any of my good friends they'll tell ya I don't do lip service. I call it like I see it. It has gotten me in trouble on occasion, but I always remind people especially if they are a friend, I don't do you any service by telling ya what ya want to hear.

Comancheplayer Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 By the way I'm hoping by the end of February I'll be able to pull the trigger on one of these awesome guitars. I can officially say, PRS and others while beautiful and good instruments are officially out of the running. The only thing that could change that was if I played a heritage and it was just aweful. I'm pretty sure that won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidsmoke Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Welcome, Comanche. Seems like you've found a home here. Looking forward to your NGD post in the upcoming weeks. I don't have the calendar worthy photos that many of our brethren here do, but this photo does show the color properly. This of course is NOT a 150, but I don't blame you for GAS'sing for one. 2002 H-535 ASB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comancheplayer Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 Hey Kidsmoke, Nice piece, my next guitar will be a 150. However, with that said, a 335 has always been on my list. So now that I've discovered Heritage it may come to fruition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comancheplayer Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 Well, I am near Dayton, OH., but I grew up & my parents still live in Steubenville, OH. Where are you? Kuz, If you find your going to be visiting your parents at all in the coming weeks let me know. If your willing to bring a guitar along, I'd do the 4 hour drive to check one out. I don't have a dealer around that carries h150's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as it is very difficult and very inaccurate to get numbers of Gibsons made at the old Parsons St. factory, Heritage don't keep a record of how many guitars they make. Sorry but this is the reality of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anybody knows how many H 535 25 th were built so far??? Mike from Germany It would be nice, if somebody can help me... As of 2008.... Heritage had 18 employees and produced between 1,200 and 1,800 guitars a year. That hasn't changed much since then, I'm sure. As far as how many 535 25th anni... I don't know, but would guess less than 100 made... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
