sonar Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 This is my 1999 H-575 I bought used. Looks like it came stock with humbuckers, then a previous owner changed for P-90's. I also believe it came stock with the Bigsby I took off and replaced with a German-made AllParts. I use it for everything. Currently on hiatus from a so-called "jazz" quintet (mostly pop standards and old showtunes, but we come back from breaks with real straight ahead jazz tunes mostly before the vocalist comes back).
H Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Welcome to the HOC, sonar. Beautiful guitar and some excellent photography too!
sonar Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Welcome to the HOC, sonar. Beautiful guitar and some excellent photography too! Thanks! My phone is capable if the light and subject is right, as in this case. I love that the Heritage is solid maple plates and rims. I had a similiar Gibson ES-175 that of course was laminated - with the same look - but MUCH more expensive. The Gibson version didn't sound very good either.

Welcome to the HOC fellow lefty and greetings from Ireland ! There are quite a few leftys on the HOC. Do you have any photos of your 150 ? We do like our pictures !
WoutBu Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Hi Southpawguy, Greetings to you also. I've got 1 bad picture on my PC but i don't know how to upload it. i'm a noob. What kind of Heritage do you own?

It needs to be below 1mb, with say a size of 1024 x 768. That should do it. ================== I have one or two Heritages the last one I received was a 576. Heritage certainly looks after us leftys !
WoutBu Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Bad picture. I know. So you're the guy who's hyjacking all those lefties on E bay Or did you ordered at a dealer?

Welcome to the hoc!!
SouthpawGuy Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Bad picture. I know. So you're the guy who's hyjacking all those lefties on E bay Or did you ordered at a dealer? So you have Ebay too !!! Most of mine are bought used, there is no dealer network in Ireland, the UK has maybe one or two dealers, so Ebay it is ! You have Haar Guitars in the Netherlands, they do stock leftys I think. Also as I'm sure you know being a lefty doesn't help. The 576 pictured is from 1996 and it's a discontinued model. Lefty Heritages do appear from time to time, there was one for sale last week on the forum.
stratocaster83 Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 hi there! fra from italy. just bought a lovely heritage 535. I've been waiting for a semi-hollow for a year now, but since trying it out on november I simply couldn't forget her... used, worn, silly colour: I love it. I've a jazzy gig this thursday: it'll be a nice baptism! ;-)
jredbone Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Hi everyone, going to the factory tomorrow. Cant wait...I will bring my 535 for a tune-up and hopefully a new tail piece, mine is quite dull looking. Didnt think that could happen in 8 years...just bought it and the guitar was played, definitely didnt just hang on the wall. Not abused but not eye just candy either. Not sure how the plating got so dull without the surrounding body or bridge being affected as well. Oh well, no big deal, everything seams to be straight and working well so I will let the factory tweak and/or replace what is necessary. I still cant put this guitar down...Does anyone know where to get Heritage shirts etc...? I am hoping the factory has something. I would love to promote the brand. I will check in tomorrow after I take the factory tour...
sonar Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 ...Not sure how the plating got so dull without the surrounding body or bridge being affected as well... Maybe it's nickel, and the other parts chrome.
jredbone Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Could be, does it dull that fast? 8 years seems kind of short...I know sweat can do damage too.

leftyaxeman Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Wow, That's a real beauty. Here goes mine Wow, more ebay competition. BTW sweet axe.
fretless Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Welcome Folks , some mighty fine instruments you have there !
jredbone Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 Factory tour was a blast! Ren does the tour and then tells story after story abouot the old days. Fantastic!! He also adjusted the neck, replaced the tailpiece and posts, buffed the entire guitar and put a set af strings on for almost nothing. Oh, and I picked it up in less than 24 hrs. Not only am I in love with my Heritage, but now I am a huge fan of the company and the whole gang there. I got my t-shirt too...it really is great to still have a company like Heritage in the states regardless of the product, not only is the product hand made with quality parts but you get to deal with the guys that actually built YOUR guitar. Great stuff!!!
killerblues Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Hi I'm bob and a lefty player with a 2001 H-550. I love this guitar and it is an incrdible value for a jazz box. I am currently having an insane H357 gas attack. Please tell me that heritage will be more gracious than gibson is!

We all love the 357s, however I am not aware of any lefties in that model. I'm prepared to be contradicted though

I will attempt a pic with my cell phone though.
killerblues Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Here here are some pics of my 550. Hopefully a 555 or if possible, a 357 is in the future. Man, I love this guitar
