Hfan Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Hello All, last night I picked up this 2004 535 "35 Special" made for Wolfe Guitars. It has SD Antiquites PUPS, tone pro hardware, Inlaid Logo. The finish I believe is Antique Natural, the label inside the F hole says "Heritage Custom Shop", I didn't know they had one. Found it on e bay and the guy lived about 120 miles away so I went to check it out. He has about 12 guitars and he never was able to get used to the shape of this body, he pretty much is a Fender fan. I think I got a decent deal, less than the opening bid. It looks like it was hardly played I can't find a scratch on it. The strings are ancient and the case looks like new. All the hardware, even the frets have a vintage look. The pick up covers are made to look old but maybe the other hardware just oxidized or maybe it was also made to appear vintage, not sure. It sounds amazing even unplugged. Will attempt to post some photos below. [/img]g][/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tulk1 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 The dulled hardware looks SO cool on that guitar. Really makes it vintage looking. BTW, the Heritage Custom Shop is just that - custom ordered guitars. Something off the normal production line. Neat thing about it, the Custom Shop guitars generally don't cost that much more than production models. Anyway ... that is one very nice 535 you've got there.

Gitfiddler Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Great new axe!!!!! Have you ever noticed how when a new member announces their new Heritage, it's like they've just brought a newborn into the world and can't wait to show it off? That is so cool. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Why do you think it was designated "Custom Shop"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zookroo1 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Great score! We'll need a full review after a couple of weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brentrocks Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Why do you think it was designated "Custom Shop"? they may use the custom shop decals on everything now? just because of the nature of their operation, all hand made, small, intimate shop with a small amount of employees. everything that comes out of there is a custom piece.
