chuckb Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Hi folks. Been looking at Heritage guitars for quite some time. Just picked up a 2001 H575 in antique natural. Only been playing it for a short time, but really dig it. Quick question: There is no strap button. I'm thiking that the place to add one would be on the back at the base of the neck. Any recommendations? Chuck
Genericmusic Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Welcome to the cult. Nice ax.! The strap button is a personal choice based on comfort but I'm sure you will otherwise.
Ned Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Great entrance. Good looking guitar. There have been some good threads on the topic of strap buttons. There is some thought that having the button on the heel tips the guitar away from the player. I have a sixteen inch hollow body and the factory placed the button on the back near the heel. It certainly does not hang as well as a solid body with an upper horn. Enjoy.
Steiner Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Welcome Chuckb to the collective. The 575 is my preferred Heritage model. Yours is beautiful! I find that the strap at the top of the body gets in the way too often. The 575 will balance just as well with the pin on the back of the guitar and free the neck joint for more important objects, like your thumb.
skydog52 Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Welcome aboard chuckb. You picked a great looking model to get started. Beauty! There has been a few threads on button location on the sight. Boils down to personal preference. And how you like to let it hang so to speak.
Guest HRB853370 Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Whoa, thats a beauty of a 575 chuckb, enjoy it in good health as they say!

PunkKitty Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Welcome to the HOC. That's a gorgeous guitar.
Gitfiddler Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Welcome to the cult. Sweet 575!! The first round of HOC Cool Aid is on me!
chuckb Posted January 10, 2013 Author Posted January 10, 2013 Hey, welcome to the club. That is a beautiful Heritage but I also see you have a vintage G&L sc-2. Those are one of my favorite G&L's. Welcome and enjoy, y2kc Thanks. The sc-2 is one of my faves too. I've got about 5 G&Ls and this one is the best in terms of playability and tone.
y2kc Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Thanks. The sc-2 is one of my faves too. I've got about 5 G&Ls and this one is the best in terms of playability and tone. Are the other G&L's older like the sc-2? There are many G&L fans here at the HOC. You have some fine guitars, Y2kc
chico Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 welcome. you will find others here with interests like yours, other than the object of our greatest affection of course. that being the six-string from Parsons St. watch out for that guy Steiner. he builds nice amps too. look forward to reading more from you.

SouthpawGuy Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Congrats on the 575 and welcome to the HOC. Another Heritage and G&L fan here, they seem to go hand in hand. Heritages are just as addictive as G&Ls.
Keith7940236 Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Welcome, that is a nice guitar. I actually prefer the button on the treble side of the neck heel. But as been stated previoiusly, it really is a matter of personal preference.
