New Arrival From HOC and elsewhere
Hi folks. Brian here....actually retired so not "flyin'" any more.
I'm a US reject now living in the Ottawa, Canada area....retired old fart playing music in 3 different bands these days. I use a Heritage Prospect 95% of the time, also have a Sweet 16 an '80s Strat and a MIJ Jazzmaster.
I'm currently playing with 4 different projects....a 5 piece Adult Alternative Rock group (that's how the industry describes it) a jump blues/swing quartet and two different jazz trios.
Nice to be here.

Welcome Brian, flyin' or not!
The Law of Gravity is nonsense. No such law exists. If I think I float, and you think I float, then it happens.

Having Flyin' Brian be part of this community would be great! Seeing some of his posts over on TGP, along with Brent's, are what led me to The Heritage in the first place. Welcome, "other" Brian!

Tell us about that H535--I see all kinds of extra doodads on that bad boy!

Yeah, I wondered if it might be a Prospect, but I really couldn't tell from the photo. Other than the body/waste size, are there any other "tells"? The fret markers were unlike any H535 I'd seen, but I thought that might just be a custom order.

That sounds like the perfect semi-hollow for me.

Wow! Hi to all and thanks for the reception! Let's see....yes it's a Prospect, yes it HAD a dual VIP wiring setup on it at one point but now it has Lindy Fralin's glorious P-92's on it which are single coil, so the VIP switches are just filling holes. The other extra is a master volume which is a very convenient throwback to when I had a Guild Starfire VI. The ebony fretboard was also a special order as were a couple of other cosmetic things.
It sounds like this on the last couple of originals our band recorded.

Tig the last airplane I flew before retiring was a Dassault Falcon 900C, pictured here, in addition I flew 7 or 8 other business jets from Lears to Canadair Challengers.
