H-535 Custom Core?

Its been around 2 years since CC line released. 
Is there a chance that the 535 model will also join the CC line?

 
I have a feeling that that will probably be coming next year, no, I do not have an inside track, it’s just a guess

What on earth would they change on the 535?

I get the enthusiast demand for a 1959 LP,  but a 535 too? It's already a better guitar

The 535/555 bodies are slightly narrower than the 335/345/355 (I believe a good 1/4 inch narrower) and the F holes are larger on the 535/555.  So Heritage could make a 535 CC model that would be more vintage accurate.  Just saying, that would be one reason why. 

 
I had a nice Gibby ES-347. Now I have something that sounds better. A 535 with flamed bat-wing and ThroBak ER Custom pickups. If I wanted a 335 I'd have one.

Yeah, the LP obsessives go nuts if the binding isn't the right color, or marker dots aren't perfect.   Is the neck fat enough?   Is the wiring vintage?  Is the tenon deep enough?  

535/335 players just pick 'em up, plug 'em in and PLAY! 

When I would walk into Dee Wells Music School at the tender age of 11,  I didn't even look at the Les Paul, or the hollow bodies or acoustics.   My eyes went straight to the 335.   That's what I wanted!   It took me a long time to get my red semi, but I've got it now and I play it.  It's great!

They would need to do something super special for a CC to be a lot better than the standard 535.   I would rather they just bring back the 555, for those of us who like some bling.

 
IT’s plausible they might, but I suspect the production of the custom cores are probably taking up all the capacity of the custom shop.  Might explain why the bespoke program isn’t really available.

Maybe the way the bridge is attached to the body?

That would please me. When I bought the H535 with P90s that Kuz sold me, he already took care of the bridge mount with the Faber screw in ABR inserts! He and I are both so OCD, I just knew when the guitar got here, that it would set up as good as it could be, and I was right, it was :)  I waited a long time till I got a semi-hollow Heritage, and I'm glad I did. I seriously doubt a custom core would be any better than this one...

Of all the non-solid body Heritages I've lusted after, I have lusted after none so much as that one Randy won at PSP I (or was it later than that? early days anyway). 530, I think...P90s, trapeze. Of course, I can't play anywhere near as good as he (or anyone else here) does, so it'd be wasted on me, but....

@rockabilly69 that is a beautiful instrument. Love the burst!
