CJTopes Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 It actually showed up a a few days ago. Mahogany center block, trap inlays and Seth Lovers with push pull coil taps. It actually looks a little more red then what it shows. Nickle hardware, almost looks like gold in that pic.
FredZepp Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 Prospects are awesome... I dig the traps on that one. And it has a great looking top and finish, a sweet build no doubt. Congrats.
schundog Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 I know you have been waiting a long time for that one; it looks like it was definitely worth it! Absolutely gorgeous. Congratulations!
Spectrum13 Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 Lovely traps and color. Was the a full or floating block and why Mahogany rather than maple?
rwinking Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 Beautiful guitar! How long did you have to wait?
tulk1 Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 Best guitar they make. Congrats on such a beauty.
CJTopes Posted January 19, 2017 Author Posted January 19, 2017 Lovely traps and color. Was the a full or floating block and why Mahogany rather than maple? Well here's the thing, I ordered it with a solid block. Thats why I went with Mahogany. I like the Mahogany/Maple combination like I have on my 336. But about a month before it arrived I questioned that decision since I already have that combination in the 336. I also started thinking about weight as my back is getting older but my gigs aren't getting any shorter. Well when I got it, low and behold it had the floating block. I called Wolfe and he contacted Heritage.They admitted the mistake and offered to reimburse me for the cost of the upgrade. Wolfe also gave some cash back for the mistake. In the long run I think things maybe worked out in my favor. The thing has a killer tone! I need to make a few tweaks to the action. I didnt adjust anything yet. I want it to acclimate to our crappy weather. The guitar went from ice cold MI to hot humid Florida and then back up to crappy WI weather. Cant wait to gig with this.
CJTopes Posted January 19, 2017 Author Posted January 19, 2017 Well done sir! Looks fantastic! I went with the wine red trans finish after seeing your 535....My pic doesn't do it justice.
Vanschoyck Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 That really came out nicely, congratulations and happy NGD!

I do, I never should have sold it!!
CJTopes Posted January 19, 2017 Author Posted January 19, 2017 Nice, do you ever miss the cherry 535 that I sold you a few years back? I do, I never should have sold it!! Yeah I miss the tone for sure! Don't miss the neck on that one though. Thats the only reason I sold it...
CJTopes Posted January 19, 2017 Author Posted January 19, 2017 Beautiful guitar! How long did you have to wait? I'd say 10 weeks, I ordered in mid to late october and it showed up just after the first of the year. That includes shiping time to Fla and back up to me.

DetroitBlues Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 I went with the wine red trans finish after seeing your 535....My pic doesn't do it justice. When you get a chance, take a pic near sunset. Best lighting IMHO.
