steveomatic Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 I am 99.9% sure I going to purchase this H-555 in the morning but I was thinking that one of the members here might know her. She is a 1994 H-555V. The seller says she is all original in unplayed condition. I would also appreciate any and all opinions on this era H-555 with the VIP/Bigsby etc. Thanks in advance! Steve
mars_hall Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 On the era question... The folks at Heritage did not start the company from scratch in the classical sense. They had been doing this for quite some time and the learning curve probably revolved around making do with their resources at that time till they could further tool up. That said, the quality has been consistent for many many years. My two cents... mine ;p
tulk1 Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Factory installed Bigsby. Pretty cool. That is one nice lookin H555.
hinesarchtop Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Really nice looking guitar. Has a beautiful blister type figure.
MartyGrass Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Nothing wrong with that. I'd expect it to be on the bright side.
FredZepp Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 That one is hard to beat.... love the woods, finish, features . The back of that neck is beautiful, how great to be playing it and look down at that... awesome.

That said, the quality has been consistent for many many years. My two cents... mine ;p Here is a quote from Walter Carter's fabulous book, "The Gibson Electic Guitar Book" "In June of 1984, the last Gibson guitars left the loading dock at 225 Parsons Street. If there was any magic or mystique about Gibson in Kalamazoo, it remained there as many Kalamazoo employees refused to uproot their families for an insecure future in Nashville. Among those were four key Gibson employees-Jim Deurloo, J.P. Moats, Bill Paige and Marv Lamb-who stayed not only in Kalamazoo, but in the Parsons St. factory where they formed Heritage Guitar, and found success as the company that, more than Gibson, continued the Gibson tradition."
DetroitBlues Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 Looks like nothing to fear except excess drool from onlookers getting too close.... AWESOME!
