Foggy Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 My new 535 arrived safe and sound from its cross country journey. I am very impressed and happy! It's a 2007 that was advertised as a "mint new demo" by 8th Street Music in Philly. Their description was spot on as I cant find a flaw on it. Excellent workmanship and a beautiful instrument. Finish is vintage sunburst. Pups are Duncan 59's. I am enjoying these pickups through my Fargen Blackbird. They provide a nice range of tones from a mellower jazz sound (like Fly Me to the Moon) to a more jangly alt country (like Son Volt's Jukebox of Steel) to rock (like Neil Young's Rockin' in the Free World). Neck is a nice medium to larger carve with a nut width just a bit over 1 & 11/16" and neck depth of .864" at the first fret (fretboard to back of neck) and .994" at the 12th. I would desribe the shape as "D-ish" which works well for the size of my hands. Thanks again to everyone here at the HOC. The information and advice I read on this site were key to my decision to purchase a Heritage. And now, for some pics!

FredZepp Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 Vvvveryyy Nice. Great Looking 535 there. I find the '59's to be a versatile pickup also. A good choice . The thicker necks give me a nice vintage vibe also.. Congrats on the great find. And thanks for the pics...

Foggy Posted December 6, 2009 Author Posted December 6, 2009 Thanks guys! Just had a nice session playing with my son. Only problem, he's having a serious case of guitar envy and wants to trade me for his Squire Tele. I told him what any good father would tell his son; NO WAY MAN!

The only solution is to buy that boy a Heritage!!!
Thundersteel Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 Very, very nice! So, what are you getting next?
SouthpawGuy Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 The only solution is to buy that boy a Heritage!!! This is the solution !
Foggy Posted December 6, 2009 Author Posted December 6, 2009 Just what I need, "but dad, the guys at the Heritage owners club say I should have one!" Hmmm, but I guess if I picked up a nice used 575 I could let him play the 535 ... Wow, for a club with no dues this place sure is expensive!
