DetroitBlues Posted June 15, 2018 Author Posted June 15, 2018 What's extremely rare is flamed mahogany. If you notice, that neck has a lot of flame to it!
rockabilly69 Posted June 15, 2018 Posted June 15, 2018 I almost bought that guitar from the original seller, but I opted out because of the Schaller pickups, which frankly, don't do it for me. That said, I was still tempted, as it is a beauty! The original CWH1 on ebay has been collecting guitars for years, and runs a website about collecting vintage guitars.

I still think its a bargain for $2000. Pickups are easy to replace. I was seriously tempted to buy it, but I know its a guitar I wouldn't like. I've played them before and they feel more like acoustics than electrics.

Gitfiddler Posted June 15, 2018 Posted June 15, 2018 That 575 does have gorgeous wood. However, that's about it. For that price, I'd look for a bound headstock and possibly pearl inlayed Heritage name as well. As for Schaller pickups, some of them sound pretty darned good on 575's. However, pickups are are a matter of taste. But I too would yank them as well as the wiring if considering this one. Also, there is evidence of it being exposed to either high levels of humidity or moisture. Take a look at the metal tailpiece and underneath the pickups. How does that much tarnish and rust appear??
HANGAR18 Posted June 16, 2018 Posted June 16, 2018 You know, this got me thinking... I think I'd probably like to have a thin version of a 575. Maybe one that has the same rim thickness of a 535. Seems like it would be very Ted Nugent-ish.
