DLDTEX Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 The first Heritage I bought was from Jay Wolfe. It was a 555 and I bought 20 years ago or so when Jay was at the Arlington Guitar Show. It was a traditional 555 with ebony boar, gold hardware, and fantastic wood. I ended up trading it for a PRS so I don't have pictures of it or the PRS. I do have a picture of unique 555 purchased from Mr Wolfe. I like it..... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
PunkKitty Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 That is nice. I've grown to really appreciate the SSB finish.
111518 Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 Pretty. I like the blocks, and, the hardware, and the finish It all comes together well.
Spectrum13 Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 That's a beauty of a 555! Hope is plays and sounds as good as it looks.
DLDTEX Posted June 1, 2017 Author Posted June 1, 2017 That's a beauty of a 555! Hope is plays and sounds as good as it looks. It has a 59 in the neck and a Seth Lover in the bridge. The crew at Wolfe touch the frets up on their Plek and I am really enjoying it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

bsck1 Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 Both of the H-555 are exceptional examples of the masterpieces coming out of our friends at 225 Parsons St. Enjoy these beauties.
DLDTEX Posted June 5, 2017 Author Posted June 5, 2017 That is great looking guitar. I noticed a figured maple neck. Mine is mahogany. Does yours have an ebony board or is it rosewood? Enjoy that fine guitar Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

tklimek Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 I really need to take some new photos. These are a few quick shots from the day I brought her home. Oh my....love that neck! I have an H-555 on order and was considering that maple neck, but it is a fairly significant upcharge. Some say that the mahogany neck provides a better tone than the maple neck, but from your picture it looks pretty good to me! Cheers... Todd in Chicago

V23505 Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 Sweet guitars all. I've just placed on order with Jay Wolfe for a cherry H-555 with block inlays, Duncan Antiquities and nickel hardware. Cannot wait to get my hands on it!!
