afireinside Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Had played a few 535 and 555's at my local shop but wasent a huge fan of the natural (very nice just not me) So i found a beautiful almond burst from a shop in CT from Reverb Georges. Has the same Seth Lovers Ive played before nice curly maple. A little parinoid about not playing it first but we talked quite a bit before buying. I have green oak local but I felt a pull to her, will report when I get her in 2 days! pics:
Vanschoyck Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Really nice looking maple on that one. I hope you like it!
FredZepp Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Stunning 535 ! ... You'll love playing it and all that see it will be in awe. Congrats..
PunkKitty Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Beautiful. I love my 535. I think you'll like yours.
Gitfiddler Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 This shot showing the input jack on the lower rim, (NOT in the top) is one of the reasons I love Heritage 535/555's. The curly maple and color ain't too shabby either! Whoa baby!!
DetroitBlues Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 I can relate to not liking natural finishes. For some odd reason, I like my 150's/Les Pauls to be highly flammed maple tops, but I like 157's/LP Customs to be solid black and 535/335's to be solid red....
fxdx99 Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Pretty guitar. And seths. Should be good to go right out of the box. Congrats!
brentrocks Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 seems to me that Heritage, as of lately, has been using some monster wood for the 555/535s
rockabilly69 Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 I also like that the input jack is on the side not the top, it's nice when you don't have the plug of the guitar cord getting in the way. And yes, Heritage is using some fine wood on these guitars. I also like the the pick-guard shape and color on this guitar. I think it makes them uniquely Heritage looking. One of these days I will pick up a Heritage thinline. I'm just waiting for the right one, and I'm very patient when it comes to finding what I want.
afireinside Posted March 1, 2015 Author Posted March 1, 2015 Ok been playing her a few days now. Neck is a tad wider and tad thicker then I would normally order but it is actually comfortable! Getting used to the A2 Seths lower output, normally like A5s. They sound great I want to put my standard Daddario 10s on it, may need a slight intonation (maybe or its the new strings that need stretching) and a slight relief adjustment action is a tad low and a very tiny bit of buzzing on hard notes on the frets by neck joint. But in all I love the woody airiness to it! And much better quality and features and far cheaper then the other brand lol.
golferwave Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Beautiful!! That's a mighty fine lookin' axe ... enjoy!!
TalismanRich Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 It good to hear you're enjoying it. The 535 is a great guitar. I find it very comfortable to play, and they sound great. Excellent choice!
