GuitArtMan Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 You guys may know me as Trebor Renkluaf over at TGP - that's because GuitArtMan got banned, doh!!! Anyway, I'm a confirmed Heritageaholic. Here's pics of my current three beauties, all purchased from Wolfe Guitars: H-535 Special in Antique Natural - purchased Christmas 2005: http://home.san.rr.com/renkluaf/335_front.jpg[/img] What makes it special? Super flamed maple, duh, Duncan Antiquities, TonePros bridge and tail piece, Sperzel tuners, bound peg head. It's bassically a 20th anniversay without the 20th anniversary emblem. H-137 Second Edition in Walnut - purchased Christmas 2005: http://home.san.rr.com/renkluaf/Tweed.jpg[/img] The second one made. I wanted the burst Jay had at the time (the third one made) untill he told me this one was about a half pound lighter (he knows I like light guitars). I won't bore you with the details as you buys already know, only to say this has probably the best clean sustain of any guitar I have owned. Sorry for the horrible photo. H-535 in Dark Almond Burst - Purcahsed spring 2007: http://home.san.rr.com/renkluaf/535_front.jpg[/img] What can I say? I'm a sucker for flamey 535s...
Dick Seacup Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Is the top on that natural 535 all one piece? If it's book matched, I can't see a seam! Forget the drool smiley, I need a 'falling off my chair' smiley.
Gitfiddler Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Guitartman; I like them all, but that natural H535 is truly off the hook! Please NEVER sell her...to anyone but me.
modRod Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 What can I say? I'm a sucker for flamey 535s... that dark almond burst is beautiful. the guy at heritage guitars, that is responsible for the bursts got taste in spades. i like a little grain under my flames 3.jpg 3.jpg_thumb
Dick Seacup Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 I've always like the looks of the plaintops with just a bit of flame or curl in them. The 10-tops or 5A or whatever the other builders call them are interesting, but even my wife says they get 'distracting' and look too busy.

Forget the drool smiley, I need a 'falling off my chair' smiley. Yes it's a 1 piece top. I thought one piece tops on 535s was the rule, not the exception. Am I wrong?
Dick Seacup Posted July 21, 2007 Posted July 21, 2007 Yes it's a 1 piece top. I thought one piece tops on 535s was the rule, not the exception. Am I wrong? I had no idea that the 535s were one piece tops. I think my evil plan to buy a 150 has just changed to an evil plan to buy a 535. Now I'm going to have to try and find one with a mildly figured top over nice cross-grain that won't require me to sell one of my sons into slavery.
