zookroo1 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Since I haven't seen any Heritage guitars in person yet, I was wondering how the different burst finishes compare. The pictures on the Heritage website don't tell much of a story. Are there any places that have really good pictures that are a good representation of the finishes? I think I like the Antique Sunburst, but the Old Style, Vintage, Chestnut, etc. all look cool. I hope to get a 535 one day. If I ever came across a deal on the web and couldn't see it first I'm sure I'd like any of the finishes, but was just curious what everyone thinks. There should be a thread with a good picture of every finish. Maybe this will be it! Thanks! Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrymclark Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Flip through the photos here: http://s288.photobucket.com/albums/ll185/Heritageguitarpics/ Someone gave the link to me earlier and there are all kinds of finishes in there. Yeah, Heritage's site doesn't give much... but they make guitars... not websites. haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zookroo1 Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 Thanks guys, great pics! It's hard to pick a favorite with so many great finishes. I may be leaning towards the dark almond burst as the favorite at the moment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzpunk Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Thanks guys, great pics! It's hard to pick a favorite with so many great finishes. I may be leaning towards the dark almond burst as the favorite at the moment... I've got a Dark Almond Burst 535 that I love. My next guitar will be either Old Style or Antique like the beauties in Tulks post above. http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii307/thechallengeresponse/Heritage%20H-535/535_Front2.jpg[/img] (finish looks a little lighter in the pic than it does in person) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tulk1 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Hey Punk!!! ;D That's a nice Dark Almond Burst you got there. It's probably my second fav color. Especially on the big body guitars. Lots of space on the front of them 535s, so it pays to have a decent finish, for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
