Hi I just signed up for the club and I would like to get the year my 535 was built. I appreciate any feedback. I am including three photos. Thank you!

Welcome to the Club...

 

The label inside tells us that it is Antique SunBurst (ASB) and that it had Heritage customized pickups in it originally ( HRW pu's ) The Heritage Ren Wall pickup was a Schaller made pickup customized by Ren Wall at the plant.

 

But usually we would expect the HRW pickup to have two adjustment screws per side ( yours has one per side ) and also a black dot on the end of the pickup switch tip ( yours doesn't ) But then again it's possible that someone changed the tip and maybe changed the pickup rings and converted to one adjustment screw per side. Of course you may already know what pickups it has.. and all this info is moot.

I'm also going to speculate that the guitar was originally sourced from Wolfe in Florida. Typically, the 535 has a stylized pickguard, but Wolfe will often get a more "Gibson" styled rounded guard.
