Well, even the best of us can succumb to temptation, and indeed so have I. :neutral:

But I got a really cool new guitar! :grin:

It's a custom ordered Heritage H535 in antique natural over flame maple and P-90 pickups. :wink:

The sound will make you grin. If I was any happier with it, I'd have to put down some newspaper.

The pics don't do it justice. I'm no phtotgrapher.

Excellent! Superbly crafted in my home town. I have an Eagle, 555, 150 Special and I just bought a '95 HFT-335, which is an acoustic flat top! Enjoy!:smile:

Telenator,

I knew you had one. I've been wanting one for a while. Glad I was able to make the deal on it.

Congrates on a sweet guitar!

Gorgeous. How about some details... Is that flame maple all around and a mahogany neck? How's the neck? Fret size?

Congrats!!!

Yes, it's flame maple all around and a mahogany neck. The pictures don't really show it, but it has a golden brown tint to the finish. The neck is about like the one on my LP Studio; I'd call it medium. It's definitely a little bigger than a slim taper. As far as fret size, I think they are medium jumbo, I got .104 wide, and .45 to .5 high...it's harder to get an accurate height measurement.

Telenator,

Does the model you have have a smaller body, or a slightly different shape?

Very cool!! Beautiful grain, classic shape, unique twist. I'd say she's a keeper!

Oh, yeah! It's a keeper for sure. :grin:

I haven't had a chance to swap out the strings yet, but I'll probably do that tomorrow, and put my tweaks on the setup. Right now, the action is just a tad high over what I prefer.

That's the thing about GAS. Now I have it for yet another guitar that I never knew you could get. I'm at a loss here.
Congrats,

Telenator,

Yes, mine is smaller. It's a Blues Deluxe which is the same size as their Prospect model.

Yes, you're right. I'm really glad I was able to get it. If I was any happier about it, I'd have to put down some newspapers. :wink:

Breathtaking Kalamazoo Girl Joe!!!!!!!!!
She's a masterpiece - 50 years from now jaws will still be dropping and drool buckets filling.
I've got a little experience with Double-Cut Thinlines and will tell You without any reservation without even having to Play Her that She's a Thoroughbred.

With Guild gone riding into The Sunset it's obvious to me that Heritage is taking full advantage of the situation, I mean to say where else in The Lower 48 can a Player get something like what Joe-Bob got without having to plunk down fortyfive hundred?!!!

I've always liked Heritage but they really got it happening as in - I'd rather take that Home than any other doublecut thinline out there...
Blown away.

Dang, you've got more restraint than I do. Just looking at the pics makes me wish I'd put newspaper down first.

Thanks, and P-90s really are the real deal, aren't they? The more I play P-90 guitars, the more I think I might not need a Telecaster anymore...uh, did I say just that out loud? :oops:

Good for you Joe-Bob. I had a Heritage Prospect from 2001 until I sold it recently. Needed the money. It was a fine guitar, it had humbuckers. Funny thing about that one was it was stolen and I found it in a GC a few months later. It looked like a 335, only with a slightly smaller body.
