Re: Brand NEW Custom Heritage LP arrives after Long wait!! *PICS*
The headstock is the thorn in the side for me.
If it wasn't for that, the guitar would be simply amazing!
Great instrument though, and CONGRATS!

Re: Brand NEW Custom Heritage LP arrives after Long wait!! *PICS*
Thanks a lot guys!
This thing has been on rivalry with my Telecaster. I play them about 50/50 of the time. I'm gonna put my strat through a makeover with a new nut, a fretdress and a pro setup.
My neck is not exactly slim. It's in between the 50s and the 60s. About the same as my modern c-shape strat, just much lower action, 24 3/4, etc... I got it because I play a LOT of thumb chords, and I would still like to be able to play fast on it.
Do you have pictures of your 56RI Lester? I've never seen a lester before.
It's kinda weird. Because the flame is not prominent at all, you see it differently from different angles and light. It's actually pretty even. I'm gonna get a crazy zebra top next - just for the wack of it, or an ocean top like scott's McCarty.

I think you can custom order pretty much anything you want from Jay. You can even get something like P-90 - Hum - P-90. They also offer all kinds of custom switching options.Scott_F said:
It's kinda weird comparing a 535 to a PRS with a solid rosewood neck though. As far as I remember yours was a goldtop with a bigsby on it. I'm not a fan of the bigsby to tell you the truth. Did you go with a standard Heritage neck?Scott_F said:

That's friggin' beautiful.
I hope it makes you happy like my 535 does for me! Someday, I've got to put a treble bypass on the volume pots and check the pot values... I just lose too much high end when the volume is rolled down. At least you won't have to f- with f-holes if you ever want to mod the electronics
Can't understand the long wait though.

Re: Brand NEW Custom Heritage LP arrives after Long wait!! *PICS*
Thanks guys
Lol thanks fellas.
Yes, proxy, the pickguard is gone.
Once I took it off, it ain't coming back on - I don't know why. It's like it's meant to be this way...
Fresh,
LoL !! That's why they are called the "F" holes hahaha !!!
Seriously good luck on tweaking the pots through the f holes.
And yes I absolutely love the LP. Its my main band practice axe.
Check out what I did to the back already! (So much for the resale value)
She's certainly a playa though!! The neck pickup rules for jazz!!
Thanks guys

Re: Brand NEW Custom Heritage LP arrives after Long wait!! *PICS*
Thanks Rain bro.
Wanna see the full size?
Wait. Hold on to something.
You know the reason I did this.
I had a bad Polio disease in 1992. My hands shake so much since then, that I can't even take pictures. (They all come out super fuzzy - I can't hold my hand still) So I decided to put my camera on the floor and try a few shots. And it turned out kinda really kewl with the way the light was hitting the guitars
:dance:

Frantic. do you happen to know what kind and value of pots Heritage uses in those guitars? Also, do they put a treble bleed mod on the volume pots? How does yours sound when you roll the volume down? I'm seriously thinking about getting one pretty similar to yours in the near future. Thanx!

Re: Brand NEW Custom Heritage LP arrives after Long wait!! *PICS*
I didn't see any treble bleed mods on the volume controls. I believe the pots are 500k pots. The treble stays REALLY well as you roll the volume down. To my ears it sounds perfect - no treble loss. The amount of treble is directly proportional to the current amount of volume on both pickups.
Here's a picture:

Thanks kherman and Puckboy.
A friend of mine suggested to get the headstock bound because it looks better. I also got the tuners that match the binding.
I'm a binding freak to tell you the truth lol !
I want to get a strat further on down the line like the "Hamilton Luketamer" that Stevie played in Cold Shot. Gotta love the look of the bound guitar.
