schundog Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 I'll play! Here's my new 535! It was a gift from my brother and his wife on my 60th B-Day! Congrats! Happy NGD. Looks very nice. Thats pretty much what I imagine I want my next ngd to look like. Yeah, Jeff, I'll go along with that; That one is definitely in the top 5 of all 535s I've ever seen, and it's my favorite model. Happy NGD and Welcome to sgt1577! Have one. Haven't had time to post. I'm retired, for cryin' out loud! Rob, this is clearly unacceptable. Article 4, Section B of the HOC By-laws are perfectly clear on this matter; New Guitars acquired and not gushingly reported to the collective for approval and dibs-ing are subject to confiscation at the discretion of the moderators..... Just sayin'...... Picked up this Millennium from Japan in the last couple weeks. It's currently in the shop getting a setup and getting the pickups wired back to normal (they were wired out of phase). That is a fantastic looking Millie, and, as you will find, they are fantastic guitars. Welcome to the Millie Club!
RhoadsScholar Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 Made a great trade with Yooper for a familiar Millie (I still have 2, my favorite heritage guitar). This is a great R7 and two happy campers here at the HOC. http://www.heritageownersclub.com/forums/topic/31345-2001-r7-gold-top-for-sale-or-trade/

Yooper Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 Another outstanding Millie, and another outstanding 535! Looks like this month's NGDs are well represented after all. I've always liked October.
JeffB Posted October 21, 2016 Author Posted October 21, 2016 Very nice!!! Whats wrong with "very nice" ? Okay then Stunning, sensational, glorious, effulgent and magnificent come to mind. Wow! I dig it!, dibs!, that top is off the hook, killer.(I dont like this as a descriptor), awesome.(There are some here on the HOC who are grammar giants and they think this one is over used), outstanding, dibs, gorgeous, fantastic, Im gobsmacked, no really I am, Im just going through other posts and stealing words now. Very nice, agreeable, well chosen. I like it. Congrats
pressure Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 hobokenheritage when I had a Prospect made I asked for a headstock with an eagle on it without the branch. I thought it would be a special order but Marv said they might have one laying around from a batch of guitars Heritage did for Japan. Your Millie confirms what Marv told me. FYI that headstock overlay with the Eagle is ebony and not plastic. Here is an image of that Heritage Prospects headstock.
Artpulis Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 If Heritage would build faster, I would post faster. Anxiously waiting for my custom build H575. Fortunately, it's getting closer.
sgt1577 Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 Very nice!!!My bad... What I meant to reply to you was Thank You!!! The "Very nice" was meant for another post...
sgt1577 Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 that is a gorgeous 535!! that pic is appearing as a small thumbnail to my browser...lets see if this scales full size? Thank you for fixing that for me!
JeffB Posted October 21, 2016 Author Posted October 21, 2016 My bad... What I meant to reply to you was Thank You!!! The "Very nice" was meant for another post... I was having fun. I really like your 535
sgt1577 Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 I was having fun. I really like your 535 My brother lives near Kalamazoo and was able to pick it out at the factory! The sticker inside is signed by all the employees!

FYI that headstock overlay with the Eagle is ebony and not plastic. Here is an image of that Heritage Prospects headstock. Thanks for the info! It's a gorgeous inlay, and I love it on the smaller headstock. When you say it's ebony rather than plastic, is the typical Heritage headstock painted black or is it a plastic of some sort (or is plastic only used when they are making a custom design for the headstock)?
Guitarbean Posted October 22, 2016 Posted October 22, 2016 I need to sell off some gear...but they're all like...family. Well...since I AM local to you, keep me posted. I know you have some Heritages [emoji16]
Guitarbean Posted October 22, 2016 Posted October 22, 2016 Picked up this Millennium from Japan in the last couple weeks. It's currently in the shop getting a setup and getting the pickups wired back to normal (they were wired out of phase). Is that an ultra? Wouldn't mind one of those.
pressure Posted October 22, 2016 Posted October 22, 2016 My Prospects headstock is ebony and I think the headstock on your Millie from Japan is also ebony. Heritage have made headstocks from flame maple also but I believe the standard headstock material is black plexiglass.
