Yooper Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 That is a contender in the "Most Perfect Guitar" competition. You just can't beat a Heritage semi-hollow. I want to go play my 535 now...
Stringman Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 I must agree. That particular guitar is about as good as it can get. Look at that top!!! At PRS that would be a "10 Top" for sure. Congratulations. Great guitar.
ElNumero Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 Outstanding! What model year is it? Looks a bit like my OSB 535.
sgt1577 Posted November 4, 2017 Author Posted November 4, 2017 it's a '15 in ASB! Here's a couple more
skydog52 Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 Beautiful wood package on that one. Congrats and play it hard!
Spectrum13 Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 All you could ask of a 535! Play it for many years.
Gitfiddler Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 That is one elegant 535 you got there! Play it in good health.
Gianluca Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 beautiful...not quite like mine...but great 535! :-p have fun with it
sgt1577 Posted November 4, 2017 Author Posted November 4, 2017 Thanks for the nice comments! I've had it for a year. It was a 60th birthday gift from my brother and his wife. They got it as a replacement for a 335 that I had back in the 70's and foolishly sold! My brother lives near Kalamazoo and on a tour of the factory he had the chance to talk with the folks there and became friends with Ren Wall. Ren helped my brother pick out this beauty. Everyone at Heritage that was there signed the tag on the inside. It's a '15 in ASB, and how it went unsold for a year is a mystery to me!!!
Leduke Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 Verry good looking ! So Nice ! Did you replaced the stock pickguard by a stock Gibson Es-335 Pickguard without any mods ?
bsck1 Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 That is one beautiful instrument. I hope it brings you joy every time you pick it up.

Pretty rare I think as I haven't seen many like it

pressure Posted November 5, 2017 Posted November 5, 2017 I think Heritage calls that a H550 style pickguard.

Thank you. It might not have the same spacing between the pickups. I put a plastic LP pickguard on my 150 and the spacing is a little bit OFF.
