koula901 Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 Guys, I just wanted to share my joy. My lefty H535 came today, in perfect condition, and it's even more beautiful in person than in the pics - it takes my breath away. And RESONANT! SO resonant, unplugged, a perfect slighly chunky neck, well set up, new 10s, no fret buzz anywhere. Although I haven't yet had a chance to take new pics for ya, I thought I'd re-post a couple of pics.
big bob Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 nice, (but wipe her down first). first impressions and all... but really
High Flying Bird Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 I can't wait to see your photos of it. The 535 in that finish is Heritage's flag ship.
bolero Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 wow, that's a beauty...I dig the gold hardware!! I had one similar to that once & stupidly sold it, argh got a red one on the way though, yippee kay yay...!!
koula901 Posted November 2, 2010 Author Posted November 2, 2010 nice, (but wipe her down first). first impressions and all... but really Hey Bob, That's good advice and I'll keep it in mind for when I snap photos. These were done buy the guy I bought it from. It'll be a challenge to take my own pics, then learn how to transfer them to the computer, I know it's shocking, but I don't have a camera, but I guess one's in order to satisfy the voracious demand for guitar porn on this site.

FredZepp Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 It's great to hear of your joy... that is a stunning Heritage. And your comments make it easy to sense your happiness with this new one....!! That is so cool when someone expresses that about their new Heritage. It looks mint .. and more important, you love the sound and feel of it. Congrats.. and we look forward to the new pics, when you can.
H Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 Very nice Glad you finally got her! I was never a fan of gold hardware but there are certain Heritage finishes which are complemented beautifully with it. My OSB 170 changed my mind when I saw it. Yours is definitely one of those supremely compatible finishes. Well done What strings are you going to put on her?
Steiner Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 There are many that have boxes with necks glued on but that, That is a guitar! Happy NGD
golferwave Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 Exceptionally nice axe there Koula!! Love that finish and the gold hardware really sets it off. Congrats!!
111518 Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 Congrats, Katy --very striking guitar. Everybody needs a nice semi, if for no other reason than that you can hear yourself practice without having to plug up.
schundog Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 That is absolutely gorgeous! Now fire up that Classic 30 and let it RIP! Definitely one of the best looking 535s I've ever seen.

Yours is definitely one of those supremely compatible finishes. Well done What strings are you going to put on her? Right now she's got 10s on there; after I plug in and play awhile, maybe I'll graduate up to 11s, then 12s, but that's down the road.
yoslate Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 Lovely box, Katy! Congrats on the acquisition. And as Fred noted, your enthusiasm is palpable! It's so much fun to live the vicarious thrill here. And I think yours looks particularly snazzy without the pick guard. Great color on that one, too! Spank that baby!
Gitfiddler Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 Congrats on landing that gorgeous 535, Koula! Well done! And you've got the magic tonal equation working for you as well: {Chunky neck + 11's = Phat Tone!!} Play it in good health.

Gitfiddler Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 Double post due to server problems...sorry.
jmc7581 Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 Fantastic, Koula! Looks a lot like my own two-week-old beauty (so I'm strongly biased in favor of that wonderful finish). Play the heck out of it!
Patrick Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 Beautiful guitar and great enthusiasm. It'll be fun to see which one you gravitate towards most when playing.
ronalr Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 That is a classy looking 535...congratulations and enjoy that beauty!!!

Mr. Yoslate: As much as I tried to not comment on your choice of vernacular here . . . . . . . certain words and phrases do kind of . . . jump out at me and give me a good chuckle
LK155 Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 Koula, Awesome! So glad you were able to find a safe way to score this one. So what's next? You've got the Strat, the H137, the semi. I know. You need a Mille. Yes, you do.
