LH575 Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Anyone have one like this? Do you like it? I have a ES125 with a P90, love it.
Kuz Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 I think the 525 (I LOVE mine) is just a slightly thinner version of the 575 with a laminate maple top. I haven't seen any production (or private ordered) 575s with p-90s.
backline Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 And lovely it is! Adorned my desktop last week (drool drool).

SouthpawGuy Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 I maybe wrong, but I think that guitar has Phat Cat pickups (meant to resemble the sound of p-90s) but not true p-90s. I seem to remember that they were Lollar P-90s with special mounting brackets. I could be (way) wrong though.
SouthpawGuy Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 " Still, :this_thread_is_useless_withou , but you can hear some tracks with the Heritage 575 I put Lollar P-90s in at http://jazzguitarlife.ning.com/profile/MattIngeneri The first two tracks, Little Chippie and Watermelon Man, are with the great Blue Note records house bassist Butch Warrent. If you turn the volume up on the first 45 seconds on Little Chipie you can hear Butch playing the head. He was also the bassist on the original recording Herbie Hancock did of Watermelon Man. I'm using a Jazzkat amp with the 575 on these. The third track is the famous Jimmy Smith Blues, Back at the Chicken Shack, with Chess Records session player Jimmy Burrell. I'm using a Fender 65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue for an amp." They are Lollars alright. An interesting mod.
Kuz Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 I stand corrected then. He must have gotten some special mounting brackets for the p-90s because, as most of you know, the holes for the humbuckers originally outfitted on the guitar are larger than the holes in the guitar for p-90s. Rock on, another p-90 convert!
ingeneri Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 Guys, the P-90s were an after market modification I had done to a standard hb equiped 1992 H-575. Lollar sells special shims that allow you to install the P-90s into the original holes, though the procedure does require creating new screw holes for the wider dog ears. The phat cats were on a Heritage Groovemaster I traded in to raise the money for this guitar. The Groovemaster was a great guitar, but had more of a semi-hollow feel given the floating center block and screwed in TOM bridge. The 575 and I just finished a road trip to Singapore for the last two weeks. Sorry there are no pics or clips, but I played out 4 times at Bar Stop, Harry's, and Jazz@Southbridge. There's a nice little scene with some really great players out there. I was nervous about taking the 575 on a 23 hour trans-continental flight, but the economy and swine flu opened up enough baggage space for me to take the guitar onboard the whole way. It also helped to have more frequent flyer miles than God after doing this trip several times. Good thing too, since my regular suitcase got left out in the rain and was completely soaked through during a layover in Hong Kong. But I'd rather have to dry-clean my suits than mourn for my instrument.

Does that quote sum up a true musician's love for his instrument or what!! Can't wait for the pics and gig summary, Ingeneri.
