lwilliams Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 Hi! I have not had a Heritage guitar since 1989. I had a hardtail, flametop, STAT back then tha twas great. Wish I still had it. A few weeks ago, I got 2005 H-535 Classic. Near mint condition, trans red. Duncan '59s, 100% stock. I own over two dozen guitars and this my be my new, permanent, favorite. My question is this. What is the difference between the H535 Classic and the H535?
DetroitBlues Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 Congratulations! Have a pic? my guess is wood packages, binding, and/or inlays.
Yooper Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 A 150 Classic has Duncan '59s. So having the '59s rather than the old Schallers. would be my guess.
lwilliams Posted June 21, 2018 Author Posted June 21, 2018 I do want to replace this tailpiece with a regular stopbar. I just don't like the look of this Schaller tailpiece. http://
Stringman Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 Congratulations on a fine guitar. Fine looking, too. I think you'll find lots of uses for that 535.
DetroitBlues Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 Hardware is easy to replace. Shouldn’t be a problem. From the looks of it, there isn’t really anything significant over a standard 535.
Millennium Maestro Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 The "classic" is a designation to any model that HAS Duncan pickups. Usually 59's... In the Golden Era up to 2006ish shaller was standard equipment, Congrats on your purchase! Ultra means, Ultra wood package and at the HRW pickup era Rendall Wall pickups. Enjoy her in great health.
Gitfiddler Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 Welcome to the HOC. Beautiful 535 you've got there!! Just for reference, my 2008 H535 Classic Goldtop came from the factory with Duncan Phat Cats. Likely a dealer request since 59's were more common.
lwilliams Posted June 21, 2018 Author Posted June 21, 2018 Thanks! The STAT that I had years ago was a 87/88 model with Schaller pups. I really did not like the sound of those. But the guitar was so good otherwise. Man, I miss that one. I have orderd a Schaller stop-bar to go on this one. I assume that the studs will go in with issue.
DetroitBlues Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 I'm glad we finally sorted out the issue with resolving new members. Welcome to the Collective!
