Yooper Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 That is a contender in the "Most Perfect Guitar" competition. You just can't beat a Heritage semi-hollow. I want to go play my 535 now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stringman Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I must agree. That particular guitar is about as good as it can get. Look at that top!!! At PRS that would be a "10 Top" for sure. Congratulations. Great guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgt1577 Posted November 4, 2017 Author Share Posted November 4, 2017 Thanks for the nice comments! I've had it for a year. It was a 60th birthday gift from my brother and his wife. They got it as a replacement for a 335 that I had back in the 70's and foolishly sold! My brother lives near Kalamazoo and on a tour of the factory he had the chance to talk with the folks there and became friends with Ren Wall. Ren helped my brother pick out this beauty. Everyone at Heritage that was there signed the tag on the inside. It's a '15 in ASB, and how it went unsold for a year is a mystery to me!!!

Leduke Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Verry good looking ! So Nice ! Did you replaced the stock pickguard by a stock Gibson Es-335 Pickguard without any mods ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty rare I think as I haven't seen many like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. It might not have the same spacing between the pickups. I put a plastic LP pickguard on my 150 and the spacing is a little bit OFF.
