ElNumero Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 If you were doing a 24 city 6 state tour and you could only bring ONE Heritage guitar, that's it (other brands for backup OK), which one would it be? My guess is most folks would say their 535 or Prospect. Which one would be yours?
Stringman Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 Mine would be the trusy H-576 I'm pictured with in my profile. It is loaded with Seymour Duncan '59 pickups and all thre switch positions are usable. Swiss Army knife H-576. For sure.
Yooper Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 I'd like to say the 535 or Millie. But my trusty 150 with SLE 101s does it every time.
cobo Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 I’m more aligned with Yooper. I find myself reaching for my 140 with ThroBaks more than my 535 or my Prospect. In all candor, if it didn’t have to be a Heritage, my Strat would be the best pick for my style and music tastes. Colm
Gitfiddler Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 For me it would be a toss up between these two ladies...They do so much...so well! (H555 w/HRW's & H535 w/Seths)
notbillgelder Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 Only one? That is not fair. I would have to choose my H-150 with coil tapping ThroBak EdA-Custom P.A.F.
PunkKitty Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 My H-158. It's the only Heritage I own currently. And it really does everything I need.
Kuz Posted December 22, 2017 Posted December 22, 2017 Five-Fifty-Five Custom with Throbak PG-102s.....
fxdx99 Posted December 22, 2017 Posted December 22, 2017 Yeh it’d be a semi, either 535 or 555. In my trusty gigbag...

Millennium Maestro Posted December 22, 2017 Posted December 22, 2017 This would be my first instinct... But then I would think... My 140 for the pop! Knowing myself, my trusty 147 walk out the door with me... This however would be 7lbs of fun...

The SLE-101s are Jon's take on the classic PAF Humbucker (I have these in all my solidbody humbucker guitars). The PG-102s are Jon's take on Peter Green's famous magnet flip humbuckers. Well, when they measured Peter Green's guitar pickups the resistance was a little hotter than a regular PAF. Jon recommends the PG 102s for Semis because they have just a little more mids & low end and not quite as bright (also I don't do the magnet flip). So they are very clear, more output, and slightly less highs. I have the the PG 102s in 3 Semis and they are amazing. Generally, I find Semi guitars are a little brighter than solidbody LP/150s so the PG 102s are perfect for semis. Think, PG-102s = HRWs but with more character, less hi-fi, and you hear the wood & character of the guitar.
Kuz Posted December 22, 2017 Posted December 22, 2017 Guy, What about your "Prince Purple Rain" Heritage?
Polo Posted December 22, 2017 Posted December 22, 2017 I view the H-535 to be the F-150 of the guitar world. My #1 since 2009.

ElNumero Posted December 22, 2017 Author Posted December 22, 2017 My 25th Anniversary 535 with Seth Lovers. That would do it!

That one would kill me to have lost or stolen. You're nickname seems appropriate, maybe "Purple Reign" but she got named "The 1"
JeffB Posted December 22, 2017 Posted December 22, 2017 I dont have a 535 but based on the two 535 type guitars I have thats what I would go with. I use trem so a 535 with a bigsby type trem would be the one.
Gtwibs Posted December 22, 2017 Posted December 22, 2017 I'd grab my 150 before the prospect i'd say.

The Melancon will be the backup for when I can't stand anymore! That swamp ash is LIGHT! Second choice is the 535.
