Heritage H555 - but which one?

[valentin87]

Hello,

 

I'm from Germany and I'm interested in a specific guitar model, which I've seen on YouTube (NAMM 2011).

 

It would be really great, if anyone could inform me about this specific model (model description, color type, price, ...).

I already tried it via contact mail but I didn't get any answer.

 

I'm especially interested in the type of color.

 

Thanks a lot.

 

Greetings,

Valentin

The trick is this... there is only one 555 model... but there are so many options that essentially every 555 is different. haha. I know that doesn't make this simple.

 

I believe the retail cost in the states for a 555 is probably around $2600-$2800. That's without upgrades that will impact price. I think, and someone may have to correct me here, the standard option for a 555 is Seymour Duncan 59s.

 

I am as colorblind as a dog, so I can't comment on the color. Sorry.

 

Here is the model description:

Hey Barry,

 

thanks for your answer. The Seymour Duncan 59s are really nice Pick-Up's.

But is there anyone else, who is able to define the type of color?

That would be great.

 

Thanks.

The finish on the guitar in the video is Almond Burst

Thanks a lot.

 

I think, that's right. I searched for the specific finish and found the following link:

They are very similar.

Have you checked out the Heritage site? This link will bring you to the various finishes. Good luck. I recommend Wolfe Guitars as a good dealer if you are buying new.

Yes, I agree with Southpaw, the color has to be almond burst. My 535 is almond burst and it is a spectacularly nice finish for a 535. Traditional but with an edge.

hi there,

give wolfe guitars a call in tennessee or florida.

i just bought a 555 from them which has everything i could have wanted for just over $2600.

seth lovers, curly/flame maple with amber, ebony board, m.o.p. block inlays, gold hardware, and so on.

hey, and a free hat and t-shirt!

great price i think.

I agree with Southpaw, definitely almondburst. My own 555 came with Schaller pick ups on it which I swapped out for duncan 59's. However, when you order new, you can have what you want.
