Ah, ok, interesting! I don't like that name no more. My new name is Rocky.

That's a neat idea never thought of a rechargable power supply. Bought a compressor recently haven't used it much yet.

And FWIW I played a new H535 in the showroom at the factory and it was outstanding too.

That's nice! Sheptone's are great pickups too, I have a set in a HB firebird. I just checked my serial # is ABxxx which is 2013 I believe

Does that have a variable sun knob on it? It's for biasing the transistor isn't it? If so do you use it much?

Good advice from TR above I'll add I had a 90s 535 & sold it because the neck was too slim for me. I replaced it with a 2013 or 2015 H-535 & it is the bomb!! Amazing gtr, nice beefy neck but not a baseball bat. I also put Wolfetone Legend pickups in Gratuitous pic And a shoutout to Bill Paige: it never had a pickguard installed; one year at the factory I asked if I could buy one, he walked back into the shop retreived one & gave it to me. So thank you Bill!

Lol! I thought it may have been a bad acid trip, or King Crimson album liner art, or both Oh it says "play again" I thought those were just broken teeth. Freaky.

I also approve because there's so many out there, people who have real '59 Les Pauls can gig them & tell everyone it's an aged replica Honestly I don't care if other people buy relic'd guitars

Nice! What the heck is that in your avatar?

I wish I had a pick holder that magically snapped up all the picks that fly out of my fingers, while playing. I had a pet gecko lizard once, they're pretty quick maybe I could train one. And let him live in my pedalboard.

That sounds pretty great!

Ha, true! Although there's the broken headstock on that Duane Allman LP? Both of these product lines are a testament to Edwin Wilson's vision & skills RIP

Yeah that's why I only have authentic wear & tear on my guitars Those are both nice though. You're right: of course Edwin setup the CC line, I forgot all about that promo vid he did on them.

I assume he was involved with the custom core models? He said he was working on the Harmony models designing pickups when I was there.

So it looks like mission accomplished, as far as Heritage bringing Edwin Wilson onboard. I'd like to have been a fly on the wall & heard some of the discussions that went on between the experienced & knowledgable Heritage builders and Edwin. I'm sure there was a lot of mutual respect, and a lot of guitar grimoire dissected. It must have been satisfying too, for Edwin to come back & work in the Sistine chapel of electric guitar building.

I think in about 2003-2005 there was a change in headstock dimensions too, they just widened it a bit AFAIK

I always liked the look of those Boogie amps with the cane grills. Very potent little combo.

Here's a white Millenium Eagle:

Yep very much like a white falcon How about a white eagle? Haha I do like seeing the woodgrain on those though

FWIW I put an ABR1 on my 90s H150, just stuck it over the original schaller posts & it works fine. I think it's a Gotoh

I was gonna reply in your other thread: I've always thought a white H-550 would be cool! I doubt they ever made any. I think I saw a black one with a bigsby though.

Ditto. The 50s automobile tailfin shape works well on the Gibson, and is a classic look. But if you want a Gibson, buy a Gibson! I am proud of The Heritage and their unique styling appointments. I think they did a great job making new stylistic changes that are unique, identifiable & classy. Plus it's good promotion: if you see a picture of someone playing a Heritage, you know it.

That's f'n nice Mike! Congrats

Yeah I'm curious too I'd guess it's more of a spoon edge

Nice to see them side by side to compare I think I like the newer horn better Ugly pickguards though... 😅
