1989 Heritage H-535 – Vintage Tobacco Burst
Built in Kalamazoo, Michigan, this 1989 Heritage H-535 represents the golden era of early Heritage production. Crafted by former Gibson employees in the original Parsons Street factory, the H-535 combines classic semi-hollow design with exceptional American craftsmanship.
Finished in a rich vintage tobacco burst, the figured maple body displays beautiful natural grain and depth beneath the gloss finish. The semi-hollow construction delivers the warmth, resonance, and sustain that have made the H-535 a favourite among blues, jazz, rock, and session players for decades.
Serial number F16404 dates this instrument to July 1989, placing it among Heritage's early production years when the company was establishing its reputation for hand-built quality and attention to detail.
With its timeless styling, comfortable playability, and sought-after Kalamazoo heritage, this H-535 offers vintage character and professional-grade performance in equal measure.
