MartyGrass Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 I may put a pair of P-Rails in this, although the SD Jazz and 59 combo in it is hard to beat. I'll see how it sounds (you know what I mean!). You cannot find another guitar manufacturer who will bend over backwards to produce such offbeat stuff for customers.
pegleg32 Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Very nice, love the bound headstock!! I'm luke warm on the pickguard, but it isn't terrible by any means.
MartyGrass Posted April 19, 2011 Author Posted April 19, 2011 Very nice, love the bound headstock!! I'm luke warm on the pickguard, but it isn't terrible by any means. It's all personal taste. This one hooked me. I was planning on a H530 with HBs. This showed up so I snared it.

How cool is it that this kind of stuff is possible?
eljay Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 I was planning on a H530 with HBs. so am i ! please share a tone report when you can. thank you, eljay
barrymclark Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 That is very cool in its own weird way. I dig it.
strings Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 beautiful guitar, may i ask if the trapeze bridge allows any sympathetic string sounds while playing? please, understand i mean no disrespect in any way. just curious.

conorb Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 That looks great, what's so offbeat about it? Just the pick guard, or are there other not so obvious items? conorb
Horace Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 I saw this on the Bay and loved it too. Nice snag ! Curious abut how much it weighs in comparison to a 535/555. Horace
skydog52 Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Nice one Mark. You are going to love the 530. Anxious to hear a tone report on those pickups.
Genericmusic Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 I dig it including the pick guard. Very cool!
Kmenne Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 What a beauty! I love the trapeze tailpiece. Fantastic looking guitar, I bet it sounds out of this world.
Hfan Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 I love it. Don't see too many Golden Amber finishes.
tulk1 Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Mark, don't see how PRails could be an improvement over what's in it. Very stunning guitar. And I swear I can see a face in the pickguard.
MartyGrass Posted April 19, 2011 Author Posted April 19, 2011 beautiful guitar, may i ask if the trapeze bridge allows any sympathetic string sounds while playing? please, understand i mean no disrespect in any way. just curious. I know what you're saying and I have never noticed this. I have with pianos.
MartyGrass Posted April 19, 2011 Author Posted April 19, 2011 That looks great, what's so offbeat about it? Just the pick guard, or are there other not so obvious items? conorb It's basically a 535 without a centerblock, not even a partial one.
MartyGrass Posted April 19, 2011 Author Posted April 19, 2011 I saw this on the Bay and loved it too. Nice snag ! Curious abut how much it weighs in comparison to a 535/555. Horace A little less than 6.5 lbs, so it's lighter.
DetroitBlues Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Now where did that pickguard and truss rod cover come from! I absolutely love those!
MartyGrass Posted April 19, 2011 Author Posted April 19, 2011 Now where did that pickguard and truss rod cover come from! I absolutely love those! I think this is the long awaited Heritage Justin Bieber model that will turn 225 Parsons into the next Trump palace.
heritagefan7 Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 I think this is the long awaited Heritage Justin Bieber model that will turn 225 Parsons into the next Trump palace. Oh, please no. The world needs at least a few Bieber free zones.
FredZepp Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 I love that 530... what a blast it will be !!! It has a great look to it and yes that full hollow tone. Personally, I'd probably like the pickups in it a lot and not mess with changing them... but that P-90 tone is quite nice also.
