1995 Heritage H-575 Cutaway Archtop Electric Guitar Almond Sunburst w/ Case

$3,899.99

+ shipping

Up for sale, a 1995 Heritage H-575 in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. A direct descendant of Gibson, Heritage guitars are still handcrafted under the guidance of original Gibson employees at the Kalamazoo, Michigan factory. After Gibson left their original factory in 1984, their employees purchased it and have continued the legacy and pioneering spirit that defined Gibson's golden age.

As Heritage’s premier archtop model (taking its cues from Gibson's L-4C and ES-175), this archtop features carved tonewoods throughout, with a heavily figured flame maple top, back, and rims, a one-piece mahogany neck, and a slab rosewood fingerboard. The fully hollow body measures 16” across at the lower bout, delivering a clear acoustic voice with ample detail and low-end presence. The pair of Seymour Duncan ‘59 humbuckers are wound in the spirit of the original PAF, offering sweet sustain, sweet, spongy lows, and clear treble detail and percussive cut. This H-575 is featherweight at 6lbs 14oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with low action, accurate intonation and 12-53 flatwound strings.

The gloss Almond Sunburst nitro lacquer finish highlights the deep and dimensional flame figuring which extends liberally across the top, back and rims. Cosmetic wear is limited to light pick scuffing on top, a few faint finish scratches on the back, and a couple minor dings on the lower bout. The neck profile has a smooth nitro gloss, free of palm wear, with a couple shallow marks along the treble-side shoulder.

The original black tolex hardshell case is included.
