new lefty heritage h535 custom, transred, block inlays, seth lovers Issues

If anyone else has a neck angle/height at the base Id be interested in hearing about it - H535 - and how much room you have on the bridge to lower the action. Can anyone for example lower strings to the frets, what is the lowest the bridge will allow the strings to be lowered?

 

Cheers

You can measure that yourself if you have a decent scale availble. My best advice would be to call Heritage and ask them what the angle should be and what they think may be preventing you from getting the action where you want it. At that point, your luthier can measure the neck angle and confirm if there's something struturally wrong.

 

Otherwise, you can cut the nut deeper, notch the saddles if they're standing too high, or adjust the truss rod if there's excessive relief in the neck which would tend to raise the nut, relative to the bridge.

 

Call Heritage at +01 269-385-5721 (don't bother with email, they're not good at answering email) It's best to reach them in the morning Monday-Thursday.

Hi All,

 

Received a new Heritage h535 as described above. How would 535 owners describe the paint around the sides of the guitar and at the back(where the strap nut is) in terms of quality/uniformity. I know they are hand sprayed but I wouldnt call the paint, tidy work with no flaws. Comments. Also the belt screw in the tail of the guitar is not quite flush and there is a small crack with a poor paint job over it where the screw was put in at a slight angle - no flush to the back of the guitar. Also the nut is barely cut - so not really holding strings in palce or setup at all, is this the Norm. Anyone else encountered these issues.

 

Thanks,

 

Ely
