brentrocks Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 The H 525 arrived today via FedEx. I was chomping at the bit to unvail this bad boy! When i opened up the case i found a broken high E string, but that wasnt the surprise....in the storage unit, there was the build tag from Heritage! And the first thing i saw was 5 piece neck! So that got me excited. Flipped the guitar over to find a stinger and locking Spirzels AND...then saw that is was a custom rim thickness...2 3/4 VS the stock 1 5/8 525 rim. So i take her downstairs, new strings, fret polish, cleanup, etc....and the pics..... I'm headed down to give it a good spank....break in those new Pyramids Maybe some sound clips later?????

pcovers Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 Wow! Wow! and Wow!!! What a great find. Beautiful. And I already know how those 525's play.
brentrocks Posted August 12, 2010 Author Posted August 12, 2010 Thanks for all the kind words guys! This guitar just friggin rips man!!! Clips.... http://www.reverbnation.com/artist/song_de...4?play_now=true http://www.reverbnation.com/artist/song_de...9?play_now=true The saga of this custom build get more interesting...i was looking at the label and it seems that this guitar was built for a Steve Kroczski????? I wonder why he traded it in to a guitar shop??? I know one thing that was probably really annoying, whenever you did a bend with the high E, the roller had bad threads and would vibrate and you would lose the note, so i replaced it (have plenty of spare schaller parts) AND although it has a graphite nut, the strings did hang up and it needed lube bad!!! After those lil "touchups" she is a ROCK N ROLL MACHINE!!!!
High Flying Bird Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 That one is very nice. I'm glad you got it.
schundog Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 Super cool; hard to not want one after hearing Randy/YourOldOne this last weekend. I think I'm gonna have to settle for a 137, sometime soon, hopefullly.....
FredZepp Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 Wow, That is Really Nice. It's got some nice wood there and a cool look. I missed the story on this one, I'll assume it was a bargain find and needed to be grabbed quick... I LOVE the golden amber top... sweet.
Guido Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 What a beautiful guitar! The top looks astonishing. Very nice. Pure rock'n'roll!!!
TalismanRich Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 That's one outstanding guitar. When you see something custom like that sometimes it's interesting to get the story behind it. Was it just some guy ordering something? Who was it and what's he playing today. That's too nice a guitar just to trade off for the heck of it.
big bob Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 Again Sir Brentster you find a custom one off.. How do you do it.. I hope she gets along with the other children, and takes care of you when old age comes. Keep on Rocking..
Thundersteel Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 The walnut looks very classy! I like the 5-piece neck, too. Is there anything they can't do?
jrfreed Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 GREEN with envy man...I was GAS'ing for that ride when it came up on the board.
H Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 When you see something custom like that sometimes it's interesting to get the story behind it. Was it just some guy ordering something? Who was it and what's he playing today. That's too nice a guitar just to trade off for the heck of it. There's a guy called Steve Kroczynski (not Kroczyski as per the guitar label) in a band called the New Horizons. Maybe him? Nice guitar - can't listen to the clips in work but looking forward to that later
