kidsmoke Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I don't know who your dealer is, but isn't this one of the reason Heritage wants orders through dealers exclusively? So that they have one point of contact once things are in the works. Maybe ask them to inquire....stands to reason that they are in frequent contact with the shop. I'm familiar with three different dealers, and get the impression that each of them has great communication with Parsons St Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DetroitBlues Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 It's the the communication at all. The folks at Heritage don't allow progress photos. I'm sure I can call any time. But wouldn't that just delay their building identifying my build and reporting it progress. I know it's started and when it's finished, I'll be ready to pick it up directly from the factory... Possibly have the owners sign it for me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalismanRich Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Hey DB, I hope you worked it out where your dealer is going to personally hand deliver it to you, after doing the full detail job! Set up, shine and wax, make sure the intonation is spot on, and throw in a new strap, and maybe even one of those fancy GT cables! .. and a free pick. Gotta have a pick! Or maybe you got one of those low bid jobs where you have to go to the factory and pick it up yourself???!!! Can't wait to see this baby, both in photo and in person.

buzzy Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Soooooo jealous! I started to hear an annoying buzz when I bought my most recent Heritage. I put the guitar down but the buzz continued. It was only then I realized that the noise was my wife telling me that I have enough guitars. Pick it up and play it often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can find no greater satisfaction that visiting the factory myself, shaking hands with all those involved in the build, and driving back home (Only 4 hours round trip). I am extremely excited about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pressure Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Are you having them put a H550 or Johnny Smith pickguard on it? When you posted last you were unsure about the pickguard. Good luck on the build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunote Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Better save your pennies. And now would be a good time to break the news to your wife! That, or someone should call dibs on the soon-to-be ex-wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitBlues Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 This has been a very long installment plan.... Paying $125 a month to fund it until there was enough to get it started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DetroitBlues Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 The heartache continues. My 535 is ready for me to take home. But there is a problem... I can't get the time off to get it. I've been working 10 hours, M-F and 8 Hours Sat-Sun since mid-February and its not expected to stop until sometime in April. While I could just have it shipped to me, visiting the factory and shaking hands with all those involved in its creation is all part of the intangable experience I don't want to miss. Waiting never ends it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalismanRich Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 That really stinks. Do you get to do flex time? You could go in at something like 2am and get out in enough time to get to K'zoo. It might make for a long day, but it would be worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pressure Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Just wait it out. Years from now you'll remember picking that Fab H535 from the people who made it and the wait will be worth it. Also... money is good, make as much of it as you can while you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitBlues Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 Did you get sucked into a launch vortex? Try 6 of them... I am the supervisor for all the Quality Audits in Pre-Production. All sorts of prototypes for 2018 and 2019. As I sit here at my desk during a brief pause to catch my breath. Good news is I'm walking around the shop on average of 4.5 miles every day. But these 5:30am starts are wearing me out, especially the sunday of spring Daylights Saving day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavesNotHere Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I feel your pain brother! My 357 was finished in March and I couldn't schedule a trip to Kalamazoo until June But it was definitely worth the wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schundog Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Congratulations on the completion of the 535, Josh, but Geez-O-Pete, those hours are nuts! If there is an upside to your crazy schedule, I hope that it has cured you of the affliction of "I'm Not Worthy" that you seem to get after you get something nice for yourself. I'd say you definitely deserve this! I hope you can go pick her up soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
