Heritage built these as their luxe version of the Gibson ES-175. Instead of a laminated maple top, they hand-carved the top from solid wood, making for a lighter, more resonant guitar. Fully original, this H575 comes factory equipped with the highly regarded German-made Schaller Golden 50 style pickups.

This particular guitar is very clean, with hardly any scratches or wear. It is set up for speedy playing with Thomastik-Infelt flatwound strings. As with many solid archtops like this, there was a crack repair a while back (before my chase 6 years ago), that has been deemed fully stable by the experts at Laguna Guitar Shoppe. Everything plays and looks great!
