The Heritage Standard H-575 is a classic hollow-body electric guitar known for its vintage aesthetics and exceptional craftsmanship. It's a favorite among jazz and blues guitarists, but its versatile tone can also be used in various musical genres. This archtop is a workhorse for any serious player. Featuring a figured maple body paired with a genuine mahogany neck, and select Indian rosewood fretboard, the H-575 offers a balanced palette of tones. While this model is primarily sought after by jazz players, the dual Seymour Duncan Seth Lover humbuckers allow the guitar to be quite versatile. The H-575 is for those seeking a solid construction hollow body that has a clean and balanced voice without breaking the bank.

FEATURES:

1. Body and Construction: The H-575 features a hollow body design with a single-cutaway, which is reminiscent of classic archtop guitars. The body is typically constructed using high-quality tonewoods like maple for the top, back, and sides, which contributes to its warm, resonant sound.

2. Sunburst Finish: The "Original Sunburst" finish is a classic sunburst pattern that gives the guitar a vintage and timeless appearance. This finish is applied to the top, and it often has a glossy or nitrocellulose lacquer for added protection and visual appeal.

3. Neck: The guitar usually has a set neck construction, often made of mahogany or maple, which provides stability and sustain. The neck typically features a comfortable C-shaped profile, making it suitable for various playing styles.

4. Fingerboard: The fingerboard is usually made of rosewood or ebony, and it features a smooth and playable surface. It's often adorned with classic block inlays that add to the guitar's vintage charm.

5. Pickups: The Heritage H-575 typically comes equipped with humbucking pickups. These pickups are known for their ability to deliver warm, full-bodied tones with reduced noise and hum, making them ideal for jazz and blues styles. The guitar may have a combination of neck and bridge pickups or just a single pickup, depending on the model.

6. Controls: Standard controls on the H-575 typically include volume and tone knobs for each pickup, allowing you to shape your tone to your liking. There may also be a three-way pickup selector switch for switching between different pickup combinations.

7. Hardware: The guitar often features high-quality hardware, including a tune-o-matic bridge and stop tailpiece for improved tuning stability and sustain. The tuning machines are generally reliable and help maintain accurate tuning.

8. Sound: The Heritage H-575 is prized for its warm and rich tonal qualities, which make it well-suited for jazz, blues, and other genres that require a smooth, mellow sound. The combination of a hollow body and humbucking pickups contributes to its distinctive tone.

9. Playability: Heritage guitars are known for their craftsmanship and playability, and the H-575 is no exception. Its comfortable neck and setup make it a joy to play for both seasoned professionals and aspiring musicians.

10. Heritage Guitars: Heritage Guitars is a company based in Kalamazoo, Michigan, known for its dedication to continuing the legacy of the Gibson guitar factory. Many of their instruments are inspired by classic Gibson designs, and they are celebrated for their handcrafted quality.
