Special Invitation To New Members

Welcome aboard, Scott, Dale and Shmokiebaby!! (Great name, by the way!)

Scott, my '93 GE also has a floating p'up set up. I was too scared to work on the electronics since it was my first full size archtop. The mounting underneath your pickguard might need adjustment. If so, and you are careful, you might be able to adjust it. However, I always recommend folks take these fine instruments to a pro to have work done.

Yes, probably the best advice. Will do that and report back...

Welcome all you guys... glad to see you enter the fray, Dale.

Scott, if you click the more reply options button you should be able to select JPG files from your desktop to upload photos.

Got it. I see there is a 1.5 MB global limit per user, so I'll go back and reduce the size, and probably the format (to square). Thanks to all for the hints!

Scott

 
Well, I was able to include this pic in the reply, but it still doesn't like it for my profile shot... Still some work to do!

SK, try resizing the photo to 150x150 pixels for your profile. Welcome aboard this crazy ship. You have one of us in your home town. Check out Eljay's post.

 
Hello Skbaily,

I just got a ''93 GE that I am going to have a tone control installed on. I'm also going to look into adjusting the pickup. I'll post what I find out. There are also some very well educated archtop members that could also offer advice. My experience has been that they are very willing to offer advice if you PM them.

Welcome aboard.

Keith

 
Right on, Keith. Good luck with the tone control - from what I've heard, it makes a substantial difference. Cheers,

Scott

Hi gang. I'm a new member and just signed up today. I'm actually a former Heritage guitar owner. I had a Johnny Smith, a Golden Eagle and an H575. I sold the guitars years ago and have regretted that decision ever since. At some point in the future, I'll be attempting to get myself a Golden Eagle and rectify the huge mistake I made.

Welcome Hotfordcoupe! Check the Heritage Classifieds. There's a gorgeous Super Eagle for sale that might get your attention.

 
New member Balladeer here. I live in Houston, Texas. I've been playing for 40 years. I just bought my first Heritage, a 1999 H535 in almond sunburst -- it's a handsome guitar. The guitar appears to be completely stock and barely played. I'm looking forward to bonding with this guitar.

Welcome to the HOC, Balladeer :) You've chosen probably the most versatile guitar that Heritage make - nice work! :) This won't be your last, be sure of that ;) Pics please, we LOVE pics!

 
Geriatric semi retired bass player who still dabbles a bit on guitar.

Currently in three bands so I guess I am not as retired as I thought I was....

I persuaded my brother in Florida to buy a new natural H535 years ago instead of the used but not old ES335TD he was considering.

He paid $1300 dollars for it and still loves that guitar.

Wish I had followed my own advice, but I had left Tennesseee and was living on a tiny island in the Mediterranean sea and had no $$$ at the time!

So here I am, years later, back in the UK and hankering after a decent semi.

Unfortunately the trip across the Atlantic pretty much hammers the price of Heritages in the UK, so I am hoping to find a H530 or H535 on here that I can get shipped to my bro for onward transmission when he comes over to the UK later this year.

Sooo... whaddaya got, guys?

Hi and welcome to the HOC. Have you checked out the bay watch area of the site ? There's a 535 for sale on Ebay UK at the moment, looks like it might go for a reasonable price

http://www.heritageo...chestnut-burst/

 
Yep - got that one in my sights already, also an oddball 535 VIP variphase!

I have to say this is one of the friendliest "one make " guitar forums I have come across

.

I also have a G&L ASAT from just after Leo died (1991) and a very early Tokai Springy Sound strat

There really isn't anything like the HOC for either of those brands..

 
Nothing really odd ball about VIP, it was a factory option until fairly recently. My '86 170 and VIP2 both had the original VIP with three mini switches. The 170 now has P-Rails and the minis control them, the VIP2 was upgraded to HRWs with D-VIP, two miniswitches. Can't say I use the options much, usually just use the full humbucker sounds.

As for G&L you could say I'm partial to one or two, have you checked out the G&LDP ? http://www.guitarsby...gldp/index.php3

And for older Japanese guitars there is the Japanaxe forum ... http://forum.japanax...hpBB3/index.php
