Any other dreamer out there?

Why dream when you are broke? That's my theory.

For obvious reasons, the guitar you described should have dot inlays.

 

The pickups should be SD 59s or Seth Lovers. Possibly one of each.

Hey what is that guitar (the second from the left)?

I meant, me being broke Gio, not you. Had to clarify!

 

Frankly, if somebody gave me $3000 today and said you MUST order a new Heritage or you must give the money back. I really don't have anything in my mind right now that I would dream about ordering. I would probably order the Heritage then list it for sale on this forum. To sum it up, when it comes to Heritage guitars, I have "an embarrassment of riches" already, which makes me GAS FREE! Who originally quoted that now, was it Yoslate or Smurph?

Poppycock. What's wrong with dots on ebony? Ever seen a domino?

The first "guitar lust" I had as a kid was for a red semi. I've got that one covered. The second was for a natural semi, at the time it was a Guild Starfire. That's where I would go.

I'll take the road less traveled, here. The dream turned out not to be about a wish list, for me. I wasn't even looking for a 535. And for the scores of guitars I've owned, I'd never owned a 335-type instrument. One Saturday afternoon, happened into a shop, owned by some pals. By coincidence, a local player of note, who flips more guitars than...Brent, was in there with a 535. They all know I'm a Heritage advocate, and wanted the skinny. I began the pitch, as Michael handed me the 535. I stopped talking. Played it for well less than a minute. Put the hard eye on the neck and board, joints and seams, and finish for another minute: "Sold!" Didn't even ask the price. Stock 535, Antique Sunburst, pair of Seths. Simply the best musical instrument I've ever owned, and one of the five best I've ever played. Dream come true....

What vintage is that 535, Rob? Great story....all the hemmin' and hawin' we do "in search of" ....this is how the great loves in our lives usually appear, I do believe.
