Official Triple-Nickel (aka H-555) Thread!

OK, it's almost Christmas and we're a little slow on 'hot topics' of late. Last night I changed the strings and polished up my Golden Amber 555...cranked up the SF Deluxe Reverb and entered tonal Nirvana for a few hours. That's what inspired this new thread.

 

So how about a purely self-indulgent thread to show off all of the cool H555's that are out there?!

 

Pull them out of the cases and closets. Take a shot and post it here...and please tell us a little about your 'Triple Nickel':D

 

 

 

I'll start with a couple of porn shots of the only Heritage I ever bought brand new...She's a blonde bomb-shell, loaded with HRW's and ultra woods, and one piece Mahogany neck. Since taking this photo I added a custom-engraved pearl truss rod cover and gold reflector knobs to finish 'pimping' her out. I gig regularly with this baby...but very carefully! ^_^ .

I almost got lost just staring into the wood of that guitar. It must be totally mesmerizing in person. Not generally a fan of natural finish guitars. But ... yowzers!!! What beauty. And HRW's to boot! Neato. :D

Nive guitars, but pretty damn hard to unload! :D

 

I hear ya, brother. In this economy, it seems higher end gits are barely moving at all...or lowball offers abound. Hang on if you can. The market will come back.

Smile - hey, I'm all for triple-nics. But tough act to follow w/that beauty natural finish!! The one below has a pretty special place in my tool box, tho...

I gotta say, that is one beautiful instrument, fxdx99. I've admired pictures of it before (ALSB, I assume?), and, meaning no disrespect to all the other gorgeous 555's out there, that's the one I'd have if I could pick one. When I eventually get a 535, I want it to look pretty much just like that!

where's my drool cup? It's a toss up, I would glady take either of those 555's.. (If I had the funds of course)

No words needed....

Double B. Nice. I think one of the best part of these 555s are the inlays.

That's a Sweet photo! It does so much in bringing out the beauty. A custom for a custom!

 

Judges say: "No foul! Play ball."
