Tim,

I honestly don't know if I want to sell it.  I'm not trying to bait you, that's not how I am.  It's just that it was the very first 535 P90s ever made and they made very few 535 P90s over all.  I told Ren to email me when they started making 535s with P90s and I wanted the first one.   So I custom ordered the guitar.

Specs;

-The guitar is in excellent condition, most would call it mint condition.  No rash, no chips, no breaks, no repairs.

-I paid for the upgraded ultra-wood package ($250 upgrade) and it is in Marv's Vintage Merlot Wineburst finish.  The wood flame is incredible.

-I had it professional PLEK'd here in Ohio to make the action really comfortable and fast ($200 upgrade).  This was right after Heritage stop Pleking the frets because the machine was down for years, but in the last couple years they have started Pleking the frets again.  It has a nice large '59 neck carve. 

-I had a new vintage upgrade RS guitarworks wiring harness installed ($150 upgrade) so perfect tapper CTS pots and PIO caps. 

-I installed Faber locking ABRN bridge and Faber locking aluminum stoptail piece ($250 upgrade) which really increased the sustain and opened up the guitar.  I really don't like the look of Nashville bridges (big and clunk) and the strings hit the back of the bridge so the stoptail needs to be raised off the body.   The Faber ABRN is locking but also looks like a ABR-1 bridge and the strings don't hit the back of the bridge.  The Faber locking Aluminium stoptail is light and REALLY opened up the tone of the guitar. 

-It has Kluson deluxe tuners that I prefer the look and lighter weight over the Grover tuners.  

-It has Lollar Dogear P90s, which I am told are the same as Lollar's soap bar P90s but I have owned several guitars with both (soapbar and dogear Lollars) and the Lollar's dogear P90s all sounded better to me.  I don't know why, but they are fuller with more grit, grunt, and growl... like a good vintage P90 should sound.  The Lollar soapbar P90s always sounded a little anemic to me.

-I would have to weigh the guitar again, but It is the perfect weight, I would be surprised if it is over 8lbs.  

So again, honestly, I don't know if I want to sell it.  The only reason I would sell it, is because I am basically playing, writing, and recording only on my acoustics now that I have quit the Praise band where I played exclusive lead electric for nearly 6 years straight.   

The price would be $2700 with free insurance and free shipping to the continental US.  Let me know if you are interested at this price and I can send more photos and even facetime to talk more and see it.  I have sold many guitars here on HOC and have been a member since 2007, so anyone here will tell you I am honest, fair, and trustworthy. 

Sincerely,

John Kuziak
