I echo that, as I've found many 335's in GC's prior to my purchase that I found inferior even to my Washburn HB-35 that I owned at the time. In all honesty however, Heritage are made by people working on benches, using fingers and eyeballs, and things do happen. I wouldn't say i've seen shoddiness ever, but more like mistakes that were missed at final inspection. Point being you're never guaranteed perfection, but they're damn fine guitars, handbuilt by real nice folks, and well worth the cost, relative to other "custom shop" domestic builders. And mistakes hitting the market are like hens teeth.
And you can see from this post...this is not a custom appointed guitar. This is a catalog 555, and the workmanship is stellar.
edit to add...i've never seen a metal switch like this one has, so perhaps it has a bit of custom elements after all.
