Sure, it's a limited run of 50 that comes in Fireburst or Honey Lemon Finish, quilt or Tiger Stripe top. I was able to play a prototype at the factory and it was just awesome. I can't wait until mine comes in.

Welcome to the cult Alan.
Hello all!

This is my first experience of Heritage guitars, don´t see too many of them in my neck of the woods but I wouldn´t be surprised if more were to follow

Welcome to the club.
That was a one off that Marv Lamb came up with for a NAMM show that didn't get done in time for the show.
I saw it sitting at the shop one day and said I would take it but put ThroBaks in it.
Glad you like it. Those pickups are Great!
Enjoy
Here is a pic before they finished it up.

well here are a few more pictures. its a 1 piece mahogany body, Grover tuners, Nashville bridge i think, OSB finish, rosewood fret board i think (maybe someone can confirm this) i don't know if its a long tenon construction, (maybe some one can tell me how to tell), pick guard not installed,(still undecided on that)
skydog thanks for the information and the pictures! that is awesome information to know about the guitar!! I did not know if i was the first owner or not. Did Marv Lamb build it or did he direct the spec? what was the reason for spruce? was it tone? were there any other 150s or historical references for this type of build?

He directed the specs on it. I don't know of any other 150s built like this but I will ask Marv about it.
Glad you like it. You are the first owner of the guitar officially.
Well, in the interest of science and discussion of spruce as a tone wood, i suppose a trip to PSP 11 is in order, 1st oberon is on me.
very cool indeed!! i am retiring from the military in January after 28 years, looks like i have to start working on becoming a very famous guitarist so that this guitar can become a signature production model in about 20 years, :lol:
Hello from Texas. After spending the weekend at the Guitarlington show helping my buddy, who happens to be a Heritage dealer, and next door to the Heritage booth...well, it happened. I now own a new 535 "Old Style Sunburst."
I'm 62, and have had over 120 guitars. (That includes the ones I bought just to flip, back in the day) I've got to say, this is the most excited I've been about a guitar in quite some time. I just can't stop playing it. It's a lot of fun.

Congrats!
Buying one of the display booth models is often a great opportunity to buy a guitar that's a step or two above stock quality considering it's a pretty standard practice for the reps to bring along guitars that are "trade show ready" and have received an extra level of love/attention.
You win!

Thanks for joining our club G-Bob. Sounds like you got a very special 535. I can't speak for the other members but I sure would like to see some pictures and hear about the appointments.
