bluesguitar1972 Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Been on the radar for a while to get a Heritage. Grabbed this one in a trade for a Grosh Retro Classic. I have to say, it compares very favorably to my 335. Should be trying at a gig this weekend. I'd say it's probably the prettiest guitar I've own. Very please when it arrived today, especially after a new set of strings and slight bridge adjustment. Here's some pics!
SofaPlayer Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Beauty! Congrats & enjoy! And welcome to the HOC.
skydog52 Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Welcome aboard. You started with a beauty! You have some nice glam shots there and I applaud you for setting it up yourself the way you like it. Have a great gig!
DC Ron Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Welcome! Beautiful guitar. Can't go wrong with a H555--enjoy!
bluesguitar1972 Posted September 18, 2014 Author Posted September 18, 2014 Thanks guys! I tend to trade a fair bit, and with every new deal, it's kind of a like a reality show ensues. Which guitars stay, which are eliminated and go on the block? lol This will certainly be sticking around for a while. Aside from my soft spot for 335 style guitars, this is a great build. Plays well and the Seth Lovers pair up with the guitar decently. All in all, I'm very very happy with it. I'm thinking it may get into my keeper pile with my Suhr Classic, Grosh EJ ltd edition and J45.
DetroitBlues Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 H555, one of the finest guitars Heritage produces! Congrats!
Gitfiddler Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Very nice 555...great photos...and most of all...welcome to the HOC asylum!

Which guitars stay, which are eliminated and go on the block? lol You might find some like minded people on this forum for sure. Congrats on your new Heritage, that thing is really sweet.
Vanschoyck Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Nice looking guitar. Let us know how it works for you at the gig.
bsck1 Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Really great looking guitar. Looking forward to hearing how it works out this weekend. Congratulations.
PrairieDude Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 What a beauty!! Congratulations and welcome.
kidsmoke Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Beautiful! welcome to the HOC, and feel free to share shots of your "keeper pile" members. We don't discriminate around here. Sounds like a great stable.
bluesguitar1972 Posted September 18, 2014 Author Posted September 18, 2014 Well, in the moment I think they're all keepers. There's a few of us around here that swap some higher end gear, and I ship some around a bit. I've 11 very nice guitars, But I have 3 guitars that I absolutely adore. My Suhr Classic S and my Grosh Ltd Edition EJ (#5 of 5) have made their way in the pile, and I'm quite attached to my J45. Currently, I also have a 2010 Les Paul Standard (it's all apart waiting for a new wiring harness and Sheptones), a refinished BFG (also apart, while I try and find a set of mini humbuckers for it), PRS Hiland 10 top, Suhr Classic T, Gustavsson Bluemaster Special (PBG), Gibson ES-335 in Ebony, a Gibson Songwriter Studio Deluxe and of course the newest addition, the Heritage H555. Honestly, all of them are great guitars I'm very fortunate to own. Beautiful! welcome to the HOC, and feel free to share shots of your "keeper pile" members. We don't discriminate around here. Sounds like a great stable.
lazarusvt84 Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Congrats on the beauty!! I joined last month (H535, avatar on left)...and just got an H157 this week.

tonedeaf Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Very nice. But one question: You obviously have good taste in guitars...what took you so long to get a Heritage? Stick around here long enough and I bet someone will offer up another Heritage that you can't pass up.

Stick around here long enough and I bet someone will offer up another Heritage that you can't pass up. Opportunity mostly You don't see them come up super often locally. Been a few I've seen but nothing I was in the market for. Saw this one come up so I offered up my Grosh Retro classic for it. Few days later, I'm jammin on a sweet semi hollow
Stringman Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Beautiful!! Nothing like starting at the top. Congrats.
Gianluca Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Congrats for your H555 and your nice collection
kidsmoke Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Currently, I also have a 2010 Les Paul Standard (it's all apart waiting for a new wiring harness and Sheptones), Nice, I'll be very interested to hear what you think. Went with a Jonesyblues 50's style harness and Sheps in my 535. That guitar has sold a few pairs of pickups for Jeff. It sounds phenomenal. Nice guitars.
