duaneallen Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Does anyone here own on of these? I believe that its a Wolfe guitars exclusive. Its basically of copy of an old Gibson ES-330, with the fully hollow slim body and P-90s. I checked these out on his site, and they look and sound AMAZING! I've got major gas for one of these. I'd like to see any comments on this one, I anyone has one. Also, does anyone know what the general price is on one of these? Thanks.
skydog52 Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 I can't answer your question yet but I have one on order and was informed by factory that its in paint and finish, so hopefully soon. I'm looking forward to seeing and playing it. I don't think there are many out there. I asked a similiar question when I was thinking of ordering one. I will be posting as soon as I pick it up.
Gitfiddler Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Eddie's Guitars has the very first H530, (it is a beauty!) but they do not give the 'selling' price, only 'list' price. http://eddiesguitars.com/products/heritage...roduction-model Have you seen this H535 on the bay? It looks like an H530 to me. The seller also calls it an H555 in his description. He may be a little confused. H535

The 535 has a block and the tune-a-matic and stop tailpiece. A 535 with the Lollar P-90's would be a howlin' Blues stick!!!! Those p'ups are The Note!
duaneallen Posted October 20, 2009 Author Posted October 20, 2009 I read up on these on the website, and I think that it says that its a semi-hollow. Maybe that's a mistake though, because if its like a 330, its got to be fully hollow.

Maybe that's a mistake though, because if its like a 330, its got to be fully hollow. The one at Eddie's is a hollow body. Very nice looking guitar. I was just up in that area. Didn't have time to hit Eddie's tho'. Would have been cool to see this guitar up close.
jrfreed Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 I also have one on order and should be receiving it soon...the old 330's are awesome but cant wait to see how Heritage does this one up! Pics as soon as it lands!

Pics as soon as it lands! Welcome, jrfreed! Looking forward to your posts. It'll be a righteous stick! What finish did you spec?
Scooter Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Man, those 530s sound amazing online (Wolfe's youtube clips has at least one clip). Can't imagine how good they sound in person.
duaneallen Posted October 21, 2009 Author Posted October 21, 2009 Could anyone give me an idea on price? PM me.
Jazzpunk Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Could anyone give me an idea on price? PM me. I can't recall anyone on here owning a 330. Perhaps try emailing a couple different dealers and ask for a quote. This will give you a good idea of what to expect price wise. I've found that most of the dealers come in around the same price or very close.
fxdx99 Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Very cool - 2 of the 330s on order soon to be received. Guessing that they'll fall into 525 tonal territory (also laminated top, hollow body, P90), which is an excellent place to be fer shure. And will have the extended reach for getting up the neck like the 535s - should be an awesome guit.
jrfreed Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Welcome, jrfreed! Looking forward to your posts. It'll be a righteous stick! What finish did you spec? Im really excited...they are going to do a one-off for me. Its OSB with the creme Lollar P90's, bound f-holes, bound headstock, pearl Heritage logo, and "small block" inlays on the fretboard ala 60's gibbon 330/Epi Casino. I'm mostly a jazz player now-a-days and want the warm sound of a hollow body but the playing ease of a thin-line...this should fit the bill perfectly. I owned a 535 for years that I just loved and have biding my time to buy another Heritage. I was looking at buying a vintage 330 that played great, but when I saw the 530's online I knew I had to have one. I like the orginal 530 spec but always thought the 555's were REALLY sharp so...dressing her up a bit with 555 appointments. As Tom Petty once sang..."the waiting is the hardest part"
