barrymclark Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 BEAUTIFUL, BRENT! I gotta say, someone did this right with the Bigsby!
FredZepp Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 I love the way the walnut finish looks over the 5 piece neck.. And of course the top...
Hfan Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 Nice grab Brent, that thing has some true mojo. Love the finish combination.
nachogrande Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 I am J-E-A-L-O-U-S Wonderful beauty. I am happy for you Brent.
Guest mgoetting Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 I am J-E-A-L-O-U-S Wonderful beauty. I am happy for you Brent. I believe this may be about what you were thinking of. Beefy neck, P-90s, somewhere between 2.25 and 3 inches deep. Stunning guitar. You'd have to learn to use the Bigsby (unless you already know- and it is not easy to do it well!).

Guest mgoetting Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 A Bigsby is like a wah-wah pedal- easy to use, hard to use well. I've been listening to David Paul lately. It wasn't really my style at first, but man is he good. He's got the delicate touch working his Bigsby. My comments about the beefy neck, etc. were directed toward NachoGrande. He is pining for a 525 and a 550 but wants a substantial neck. My 550 neck is on the thin side. so it's not a good fit for him On the other hand, your 525 fits the bill!

Johnny A.
jazzrat Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 check out Johnny A. +1 This guitar would kill for his style of playing
brentrocks Posted August 14, 2010 Author Posted August 14, 2010 I played it some more tonight....love the tone.

crocane Posted August 14, 2010 Posted August 14, 2010 Wow, that is a stunningly beautiful guitar! Cant imagine why someone would let that go if it was custom made for them.

DC Ron Posted August 14, 2010 Posted August 14, 2010 Wow, that is a stunningly beautiful guitar! Cant imagine why someone would let that go if it was custom made for them. Probably because they misspelled his name. Stunning guitar anyway...
brentrocks Posted August 15, 2010 Author Posted August 15, 2010 love the 525 thank man! i wasnt expecting the thicker body when i got it, since it said nothing about "custom" add-ons in the listing. i do like the thinner body on a standard 525, but im really diggin this 525 for now. i was thinking, its kinda like a 575 w/ p-90s????
jazzrat Posted August 15, 2010 Posted August 15, 2010 Brent, I know you have a couple other guys with dibs if you decide to sell it. Please put me in line. That configuration would be a perfect compliment to my other guitars

That configuration would be a perfect compliment to my other guitars if business stays good, id really like to order a sunsetburst 525....we'll see....i got you on the list
Gitfiddler Posted August 16, 2010 Posted August 16, 2010 if business stays good, id really like to order a sunsetburst 525....we'll see....i got you on the list HEY! Watch it, Mr. Brent!!
NoNameBand Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 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????? Dude, how do you do it? Awesome guitar!!! I am so jealous. You certainly have amassed a fine collection of art. Congratulations Brent, Mark

jazzrat Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 Dude, how do you do it? I tell ya...it's HOC karma. He puts himself out there for us and good stuff come his way as it should. That guitar is haunting me and got me trying to see what else I can sell to get one that's similar. My wife even said wow and she is pretty jaded from 30 years of guitar lunacy. For some reason she has always like guitars with whammy bars. She hates strats and guitars with that 'big plastic thingy with three other little white thingys on it." This one she likes and has me scheming....

koula901 Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 The H 525 arrived today via FedEx. I was chomping at the bit to unvail this bad boy! Holy Sh*t Brent, that's beautiful! I've never ever seen a guitar like that - what's the back - is that mahogany? Gorgeous! forgive my ignorance, but what's the significance/or advantage of a 5-piece neck?
