SouthpawGuy Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Hi and welcome to the HOC. Congrats on your 535, love those natural finishes. And please do post how you came about your guitar, it sounds like it was an experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beagle216 Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 Here is my story on how I came to be the proud owner of a Heritage 535. I am absolutely into collecting high quality instruments, to PLAY them, and found out about Heritage Guitars at my local Music Go Round on Aug. 3rd 2013. As soon as I plugged it in, I got goosebumps and just started laughing uncontrollably. I went home without it that day, but I literally couldn't sleep that night, and dreamt about the guitar. I hadn't had feelings like this about a guitar in a long time. I knew that I had do do whatever I could to own it. Then I read about the company's legacy and where they were making guitars out of and I was even more convinced that this had to be mine. I had to sell 4 out of my collection of 7 to fund the purchase, and I couldn't be happier. I am absolutely obsessed with the tone, playability, and quality craftsmanship of my 1990 Heritage 535 that I got. Funny enough this was the 4th guitar built, just 3 days after my birthday which I didn't find out until after I got it home. I am only older than my guitar by 3 years and 3 days... I am not sure why I find that cool, but I do. Consequently, I already named it: Aquarius. I know I was supposed to have this guitar, and it is NEVER going anywhere. I am excited to join the Heritage Owners Club, and I am proud to be a member and support this amazing company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidsmoke Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Welcome to the HOC, and congrats on a great find! I'll echo SPG and say go ahead and throw the story in this thread, it's relevant, and somewhat typical of many people's experience, mine included.

mark555 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Hi and Welcome, congrats on getting a guitar you like so much. I have an all natural 555. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobrafast1 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Nice story. Much the same as myself. I couldn't sleep well until I got my H150 here. It arrived last Saturday and now I can sleep nights again. I play it daily for 1-3 hours every day. My other guitars are lonesome now and I must start rotating again. I don't like guitars just sitting there looking at me when I play. I feel guilty for some reason. Owwwww.. self confessions of a dedicated guitarist. Welcome to the forum.. I just recently joined and really like this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beagle216 Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 Very nice, congrats! Glad to see some young bucks joining the forum... I have an old soul! Most of my friends don't understand me! My favorite era of music was late 60's. I am into, in no particular order: Woodstock, The Grateful Dead, The Allman Brothers, Neil Young, CSNY, Jimi Hendrix (of course), Joe Cocker, Pink Floyd (Animals, Wish You Were Here, & The Wall in particular), just to name a few. PLUS a lot of modern musicians who still play "real" music like Jason Mraz (Not his mainstream pop stuff), John Mayer (same caveat as Jason Mraz), Johnny Lang, & Derek Trucks (The sole reason I purchased my SG).

You need to throw Ten Years After onto that list. Alvin Lee played a 535, unfortunately he just passed away. I've had my 535 for about 9 months, long enough for the honeymoon and infatuation period to subside. But it is still the only guitar I play. I look at the other six guitars I own and wonder why they are still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beagle216 Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 Had some time over the weekend to put her in the sun and snap a few! I love the tone of this guitar. I am going to put up a video soon so that the tone of this thing with the Antiquities can truly be heard! This guitar is going to be buried with me (not really) but I will be passing it down. I LOVE IT MORE EVERY TIME I PLAY IT!!! Even a hack like me has awesome tone with this thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
