DetroitBlues Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 After saving up for several months, my custom 535 order has been placed. Final specs... Heritage H-535 Wine Red Translucent finish - Rosewood Finger board Dot inlays - Marv Carve .900 to 1.000 profile - Gold Tonepros hardware - Gold Kluson Style 135G Tuners - Seth Lover pickups - Black Pickup rings, Toggle tip and Top hat Knobs - Bound Headstock - Cream Binding - Mother of pearl Inlay "The Heritage" - Heritage Case included - Pick Guard UNMOUNTED I plan on mounting a G-Style PG as I want this to resemble a late 50's ES-335 Wine Red was chosen for its ability to show the figuring of the wood. Gold Hardware IMHO accents the color nicely. I will ask the factory for pics as it progresses. I don't think I have ever been so excited about a guitar order. I'll pick her up from the factory in the Spring!
Gitfiddler Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 DB~ Well done, young man!! (By the way, the factory can make you the pick guard as described. I had Marv do mine and couldn't be happier)
golferwave Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Wow ... Looks to be a serious tone machine! - Now comes the hardest part, the waiting.
Polo Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Very nice. I know they surely appreciate the business!
Conneazoo Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Awesome DB. That sounds like a truly great guitar.
Horace Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Way to go! Sounds great. Looking forward to pix.
HANGAR18 Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 That's great! Every bluesman needs to have a 535 or 555.
Blunote Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 That's going to be a fantastic guitar for you. I really hope it turns out to be a guitar you want to keep forever. Any chance Marv will let you be present when he rolls the neck? Congratulations.
pegleg32 Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 That is swinging for the fence DB, lets hope it is a home run in the upper deck!!
tsp17 Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Very Fine! DB- way to go strong! That is going to be a very special instrument. Well done brother!
High Flying Bird Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 I can't believe I get to be the first to say this, Dibs! ;^) The 535 is Heritage Guitar's flagship. May it serve you well.
kidsmoke Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Right on Josh!! Happy for you. Looking forward to seeing it in your hands.
TalismanRich Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Nice call on the gold hardware and the Kluson style tuners, and the bound headstock is definitely the way to go. The wine red should look great. As for the PG, have them make you a nice bound one. Dibs on playing it next summer!!!!
pressure Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 You can get a Johnny Smith or a H550 shaped pickguard, in your choice of materials, wood (ebony, maple, flamed maple) with a transparent black stain, or plastic, bound or unbound. Its a Heritage. You don't need no stinkin Gibsons parts. Fab H535 Josh.
tulk1 Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Isn't Wine the color Marv created and debuted at one of the PSPs? In honor of his winemaking expertise? Nice color choice.
CJTopes Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Anyone got a pic of a trans wine colored axe?
Blunote Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Isn't Wine the color Marv created and debuted at one of the PSPs? In honor of his winemaking expertise? Nice color choice. I might be thinking of Vintage Wineburst. One of my favorite Heritage colors. And yeah, a matching wood, bound pick guard would be a great add.
Gitfiddler Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Here are two versions of Vintage Wine Burst...
HANGAR18 Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Anyone got a pic of a trans wine colored axe? Commin right up. Trans Wine Red. Not a burst (clearly) but Trans Wine for sure.
Polo Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Commin right up. Trans Wine Red. Not a burst (clearly) but Trans Wine for sure. This one is simply perfect Danny!
davesultra Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Nice to hear you got the ball rolling! Now, to play the waiting game.
Spectrum13 Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Make it for Josh he's worth it With the bound head stock it will out hang the hanger..
Steiner Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 You? A Heritage??? Welcome to the world of cold, dead hands guitar! You know the boys in Kazoo are going to be careful with your one-off. It appears you have a well though out design. Congrats!!!
schundog Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Congratulations! I have a guitar very, very similar to those specs.....Umm, wait. No I don't... I sold it to you!!! Haha. Alas, it was an Epi Dot, not a Heritage. I can't wait to see your finished product, Josh!
