schundog Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Let me see what you guys have! Also, I'd be interested in seeing what type of music you play with yours, what type of strings (flatwound, etc) and where it fits in your stable of guitars. Any other Heritage Archtop is welcome, as well, but I'm really wanting to see some different 575s.
nicknickhall Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 My 575 is from 1989 and my first Heritage. I played one in a shop and the voice spoke to me, "Must Have One!", so I hung out on Gbase and this dealer who an old friend of mine could vouch for had this one. It's a real case queen. No fret ware and hardly any scratches. Stock Schaller p'ups, strung with TI JazzSwing 12-50s which are flatwound. My wife is a singer of many styles and this is my main axe for accompaniment. I am so pleased with the large voice of this guitar and love the not too large size of the box that creates it. I use it for Jazz. My other Heritage is a 530 purchased from brother MartyGrass. It's different in being loaded with 'buckers, a 59 and a Jazz. This one just nails anything pop I want to do. I had been looking for one with p-90s but the 'buckers in this sound so, so good, that I ain't messin with it. I also keep a semi-hollow, a chambered solid body and an acoustic tuned up in the rotation for blues, country, and any other tune that crosses my mind.

I had one...it is now in Gitfildders hands...but here is what it "looked" like!
hotfordcoupe Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 I had one that sounded pretty nice but it was so light, it looked weird. It looked like a guitar in the white that had been sprayed with nothing but clear lacquer. I would have liked a more amber color.
JohnCovach Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 I have also seen a few blond ones that just look too blond for me. I know they will get more amber in time, but I'm not sure I want to wait 5 or 10 years. Here's a pic of mine that gives a better idea of the color. This one has a little rose color added by special order and it's starting to look very nice.
Number8 Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Damn all of you for making want one of these now.
kidsmoke Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Here's a 2006 Custom I used to own... Note that pickguard, #8.....
Ned Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 The guitar on the left is labeled as a 575 although Wolfe described it as an acoustic sweet 16 on gbase and on the receipt. Who are you going to believe? Anyway, I humbly submit it here to illustrate the breadth of what a 575 can be, and what the artisans at 225 can do. (and by the way, she sounds great) EDIT - seems I can't link to photobucket right now. I will post later. The picture I am trying to post is my avatar and is also in the gallery. sorry.
big bob Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Here is one I still have and one I sold to Ned. Wish I could post bigger pics.
GASguy Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 I can't seem to post pics from photobucket with my iPad. I will post some pics later tonight. In the mean time I'm waiting to see My Favorite 575 in the HOC. Mr. Clark? Paging Mr Clark!
SouthpawGuy Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 575 Custom from 2005 in old style burst, pickups are SD '59s. Got it used from Wolfe Guitars, tailpiece is factory original they had a right handed one exactly the same. Had the bridge changed to a TOM / wood. It's strung with 12's. Pictured with Mildred, a close friend
GASguy Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 This one does not have a lot of pearl or multilayer binding, but it grabbed me the first time i saw it and it still grabs me every time I look at it. Gold on Amber, HRWs, couldn't ask for anything more.
Number8 Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 HOLY CRAP! That's exquisite. I want that. How did you get that? PM me. PS - I've been drinking
