ESchmidt Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Hello everyone! I'm fairly new to posting here but have been lurking for years. I just purchased my dream Heritage. It is a 2008 H555. The orange tag inside the guitar says Heritage Guitar Custom Shop. I am not sure if they all say that or if mine is in some way shape or form special. Maybe one of you could shed some light on that for me. Either way, this guitar absolutely rocks! It came stock with Seth Lover pickups which sound fantastic. The reason it took so long for me to find my perfect Heritage is that it had to have an ebony fingerboard, flamed cherry red finish, gold hardware, and mother of pear block inlays. Most H555s I see have the arrow inlays, so it made my search take that much longer. All I can say is that it was worth the wait. And here are a few quick pictures with an old Kalamazoo amp I found for $85. Enjoy the pics. Any other H555 fans out there?
Guitarbean Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 dang. Where did you find this? This is my perfect 555?
Gitfiddler Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Welcome to the HOC! You've entered with a bang. That is one gorgeous H555. You asked if there are any other 555 fans out here. Absolutely!! My very first brand new Heritage was an H555 Custom (Golden Amber w/HRW's) with block inlays. So I know how you feel. Each time you open the case and look down at your 555, it will take your breath away. Mine still does, even after owning it for 9 years. The block inlays and Seths may be the reason your label reads "Custom Shop". Only the original dealer who ordered it and maybe the factory will know for sure. Play it in good health.
ESchmidt Posted July 15, 2016 Author Posted July 15, 2016 Thank you to everyone for that warm welcome! As to answer a question above, I found this guitar on Reverb.com from a dealer. I sold a Gibson R8, at quite a loss I might add, to fund this guitar. It was so worth it!
golferwave Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 Major score on that one! - A beautiful 555! - Welcome to the HOC!
