Heritage Custom Shop Core Collection H-535 - Antique Natural

This Heritage Custom Shop H-535 is more than just a guitar; it's a piece of Kalamazoo's legendary guitar-building history. Crafted in the same historic factory at 225 Parsons Street, this semi-hollowbody carries the torch of a rich legacy. The stunning laminated curly maple top, back, and sides, combined with a solid curly maple rim, give this guitar a rich, resonant tone with incredible sustain and superb feedback rejection. Whether you're playing soulful blues, classic rock, or jazz, this instrument provides a vibrant and dynamic response that will inspire you. The vintage gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish not only adds a subtle sheen but will also age beautifully over time, telling the story of your musical journey.

Equipped with Heritage's own Custom Shop 225 Classic Humbuckers, this guitar delivers a versatile range of vintage-inspired PAF tones. Designed by head of R&D Edwin Wilson and wound in-house, these pickups capture the warmth, clarity, and articulate cleans of those sought-after classics. Paired with a genuine mahogany neck carved into a comfortable '50s C profile, a rosewood fretboard with a 12-inch radius, and Jescar medium/jumbo frets, you'll experience effortless playability and a feel that's both classic and modern. This is the kind of semi-hollow that has won the hearts of players like Ford Thurston and R.J. Ronquillo, and it's ready to win yours too.
