SouthpawGuy Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Hi all, I'm new to the Club and would like to say hi to everyone. I live in Ireland and I've been playing since 1980 and have only recently acquired two Heritage guitars. I'm left handed and as the brand is not well distributed in the UK or Ireland I took the plunge and bought them online. The first is an H-535 in glorious Golden Amber from the Heritage Guitars Custom Shop. I bought it from a well known guitar dealer in Florida ... http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh98/SouthpawGuy/535lh01.jpg[/img] The second is an H-575 Custom in Tobacco Sunburst, also purchased from Jay. http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh98/SouthpawGuy/575lh01.jpg[/img] Both guitars have "vintage" hardware and matched sets of Seymour Duncan 59's. As you can see they are sure are fine ! ... if the images are too big please let me know.
cod65 Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 sweet rides. Welcome, lefty. nice. I've been looking for a 575 or similar in lefty. How do you like it ? I bought a 158 from jay.
yoslate Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Welcome to the HOC! Lovely sticks! And that 575 case is nicer than most of the places I've ever lived! Ireland, is it? May muther's family's frum County Waterford!
SouthpawGuy Posted January 16, 2008 Author Posted January 16, 2008 Thanks guys .... cod65 ... the 575 sounds very full, especially the neck pickup with the tone rolled off. I got a real deal on it, it was actually used but in mint condition. The tune-o-matic bridge was added at my request, as I (try) to play a lot of jazz but I'm really a blues/rock player at heart and i'm inclined to bend quite a bit. The 535 and 575 have the same pickups but there is a big difference in tone, the bridge pickup on the 575 doesn't have the same bite as the 535 and I now understand why jazz boxes often only have a neck pickup. yoslate .... the 575 case is nice alright, it fits the style of guitar very well. It's a "Guardian" case.
Jim W Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 Very Pretty!! Always nice to see cool lefty gear. That 535 is beautiful
Gitfiddler Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 Hello and Welome, SouthpawGuy! Great shots of your two Heritages. As another southpaw (who plays righty) it's nice to see the mirror image of some of our favorite guitars. So many makers do not have much to offer lefties, or do so with an upcharge.
les paulverizer Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 Hi SouthpawGuy, welcome to "the Club". 8) Awesome pic's, by the way...! (Hey, who cares about the pic's, it the guitars!)
tulk1 Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 Welcome!! Two beautiful guitars! Gotta turn the head weird to look at the pics, , but they sure are pretty.
Thundersteel Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Welcome, SouthpawGuy! Nice guitars! The case for the H575 looks great, too! We're glad you found us!

SouthpawGuy Posted January 19, 2008 Author Posted January 19, 2008 Nice guitar . I can feel the TWANG from here !
Kuz Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 Welcome and great guitars. Drink a pint of Guinness for me.
GuitArtMan Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Welcome and bee-yewt-ee-full geetars! You did know they were upside down and backwards, didn't you? ;D
SouthpawGuy Posted January 21, 2008 Author Posted January 21, 2008 Welcome and bee-yewt-ee-full geetars!You did know they were upside down and backwards, didn't you? ;D Yeah I know, I usually stand on my head and look in the mirror when I play. It's kinda awkward though, I keep falling over .... I gotta get those guitars insured. ;D

SouthpawGuy Posted January 23, 2008 Author Posted January 23, 2008 Thanks ... I got another shot lately that didn't come out too bad, a "group" shot http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh98/SouthpawGuy/535575_01.jpg[/img] I get a real buzz playing these two. I think I might need to get a wide angle lense though, I feel another one coming on.
