Guest HRB853370 Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Very nice. Congrats! My only humble opinion is I think the black rings take away the beauty. To me, cream rings may look better... Well then why not a cream PG too?
HANGAR18 Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Stunning! As for what was said previously about the bound head stocks, I like them and I think I'm going to insist upon having bound head stocks on all of my future Heritage guitars.
Redsand Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Congrats on a great tandem! The H35 is especially appealing to me, the flame, the appointments, it's truly gorgeous.
DavesNotHere Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Wow! The natural light really brings out the beauty of the finish.. And I agree, all Heritage headstocks should be bound with MOP logo. Congrats on a couple of beauties.
yoslate Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Two of the nicest guitars I've seen here, in a while! The 535 is just obscene! And I'm with most; not a fan of black surrounds, but they look good on that 150. The lighter rings look too "busy." Congrats!
gpuma Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 NGW! Wow that's something... and nothing less than phenomenal... Congrats!!!
tulk1 Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Right - I think I'll just enjoy them as they are for a while. - Good idea. I think they are perfectly stunning as is. Wowzers!!
augfive Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Holy crap! Thats Beautiful! Thats not considered an "Ultra Top"? Here are some shots of my absolutely beautiful new H-150. - - - - And earlier last week, I received this stunning used (2009) H-535 I bought here from member iimv7im7 - who is a great guy to deal with BTW. - So, I am holder up in my living room blasting the neighborhood! Here is the spec for the (new custom built) H-150: Heritage H-150 CM (Curly Maple) LW (Chambered) OSB (Original Style Sunburst) Body: Curly Maple top, Honduran Mahogany back and sides with cream binding Finish: Nitrocellulose laquer Neck: One piece honduran mahogany Long neck tenon option CTS control Pots w/ Spraque caps Fingerboard: Rosewood (dark colored, well grained) Fretboard Inlays: mother of pearl “Trapezoidal, or crown” inlays. Bound Headstock Inlayed M. O. Pearl “The Heritage” logo on Headstock Bigsby Graphtech Nut Schaller Roller Bridge Grover Rotomatic Tuners H157 style pickguard – Trans Black with cream binding Seth Lover Pick-Ups Black Pick-Up Rings PLEK’d The Heritage Hard Case – size does fit the Bigsby btw. - Here is the spec for the 2009 H-535: It has ALL the upgrades that you rarely see on an H-535 (Usually found in H-555). Its fully bound (neck, headstock, body and f-holes), ebony pickguard, Lollar Imperials, Tonepros Hardware, RS Guitarworks. It has custom bone nut made by Phil Jacoby (Philtone.com) and was Pleked by him. The guitar is in excellent condition. Body Veneer: highly figured curly maple (flame) Body Color: oldstyle burst Body Binding: single white including F-hole binding F-Hole binding Neck: mahogany Neck Shape: 59 style Neck Binding: Single white Fingerboard: rosewood with trapezoid mother of pearl inlays Frets: 6150 (Pleked by Phil Jacoby, Philtone) Fingerboard Radius: 12" Nut: bone, 1-11/16 spacing (Made by Phil Jacoby, Philtone) Strings: .010s Headstock: ebony veneer with mother of pearl "The Heritage" inlay and "split block custom" inlay with single white binding.

Not sure if I will keep it on there though, the nut is black and may look strange, we shall see. The binding on the H-535 is very bright white and the binding on the H-150 is cream, I prefer the cream color and will spec that option going forward, however, I really need to stop buying guitars for a while now (yeah, right). Cheers -

bolero Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 WOW!!!!! talk about jumping in with both feet! fantastic pair of guitars!! I would leave the black rings on there too, the cream are too distracting IMO & clash with the pickguard & rest of the gtr nice snatches!!
NoSnowBlower Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Black plastic on that one for me too. Poker chip, and knobs. Nickle knob indicators. Buy the way; Greatest avatar EVER!!!
