jhack Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Hi, I am going to place order of H-555 according to specification following ones: Dark almond sunbirst finish 2 Humbuckers Duncan, Neck in mahogany, ( In 1,3 or 5 parts, I don’t know what is best?) Ebony fingerboard with binding, 22 freights. Heard there "F" with net MOP / abalony birdseye fingerboard inlays with abalone birdseye center one headstock, 24 3/4 " scale. Black Pickguard. All Gold Hardware Can you express me your opinion? Is it necessary according to you to bring of the other one precision? Thanks
tulk1 Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Looks like a great build, to me. Two things come to mind. "Heard there "F" with net". Not sure what that means. The translator may have gotten that wrong. Or maybe I'm just not reading it correctly. "abalony birdseye fingerboard inlays with abalone birdseye center one headstock" Not sure they do abalone. Otherwise, that is going to be one sharp guitar.
skydog52 Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Sounds like a stock order. http://heritageguitar.com/models/H555.htm You will like the H-555. I have owned two of them. They are a very comfortable guitar to play for me. I am partial to HRW pickups. Here is mine that I received recently.
jhack Posted September 10, 2009 Author Posted September 10, 2009 Sorry the double sending. Yes effectively my on-line translator is not very good it is in fact about "F Holes" For the abalone all the descriptions speaks about it. Effectively she is magnificent also in blue...

In all the times I've read the product descriptions I have glossed right over that abolone part. Learned something new today! Excellent choice!

All Gold Hardware Can you express me your opinion? Is it necessary according to you to bring of the other one precision? Thanks Hi JHack, Try this: Dark almond sunburst finish 2 Humbuckers Duncan, Neck in mahogany, ( In 1,3 or 5 parts, I don't know what is best?) I don't know if they do multiple mahogany necks. Normally the multi-layered necks are primarily maple with mahogany spacers. I don't see any reason why they couldn't do it with maple spacers. It will be a one of a kind! Ebony fingerboard with binding, 22 frets. (Heard there "F" with net?) F-Holes? What about them? MOP / abalone (birdseye?) fingerboard inlays with abalone (birdseye center one?) headstock Logo, 24 3/4 " scale. Black Pickguard. All Gold Hardware Consider getting the classic matching pickguard and order an extra black one if that's what you want. You only get 1 chance to get a classic one to exactly match your guitar, that is when you order it. They can make a black one at anytime. I ordered abalone fret markers for the side of the neck. You may want them too. It sounds like a sweet guitar! You'll love it!!!
TalismanRich Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 Bonjour JHack. On the recent tour, Rendall talked about the neck on a 555. He said they used to be made of maple with ebony fretboard, but now they are made of mahogany with ebony. He said it was more stable and gave a "sweeter" tone. If you want it brighter, go with maple/ebony. For a softer tone, mahogany/rosewood. The 5 piece necks on the jazz guitars are maple/mahogany/maple/mahogany/maple. En excusion récente, Rendall a parlé du cou sur des 555. Il a dit dans le passé où ils ont été faits en érable avec le fretboard de bois d'ébène, mais maintenant ils sont faits en acajou avec le bois d'ébène. Il a dit qu'il était plus stable et a donné un " sweeter" tonalité. Si vous la voulez plus lumineuse, allez avec l'érable/bois d'ébène. Pour une tonalité plus douce, acajou/bois de rose. Les cous de 5 morceaux sur les guitares de jazz sont érable/acajou/érable/acajou/érable.

mark555 Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 Bonjour Jhack, Tres Magnifique.... Get the custom pick guard. Au revoir, Mark.
jhack Posted September 11, 2009 Author Posted September 11, 2009 One thank you for your opinions, your corrections and your precision. Effectively I had not thought abalone freight markers for the side of the neck. On the other hand I understand what you want to say when you speak custom pick guard. It is about a pick guard of the same color, the finish as the guitar ? Either of a different shape ? For it F-holes with net it is about both holes in the form of F in semi-hollow body. In the descriptions, birdseye is the inlay the shape of which is < <> > Thanks all

jhack Posted September 11, 2009 Author Posted September 11, 2009 Thank you for this precision. I put myself at once in search of a more effective translator

By hoping that everything takes place well... I hold you informed Good weekend in all Congrats on ordering your dream guitar. Ask Jay to get you pictures as they are building the guitar. That would be cool.
jhack Posted September 12, 2009 Author Posted September 12, 2009 Great idea, I did not know that it was possible, I am going to ask him. Thank you still
TalismanRich Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 Impressive language skills here ...! Came from the Tower of Babelfish ( with a little help from my high school French teacher who is probably rolling over in her grave about now).
jhack Posted November 12, 2009 Author Posted November 12, 2009 Good evening, According to WOLFE GUITARS, my H-555 is heading for Miami. More than a few days has to wait...
fxdx99 Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 Smile - getting close. Ah, the anticipation of a new guitar, and one that YOU spec'd out. One of the finer pleasures in life. Looking forward to pics and your assessment of it.
mark555 Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 Really looking forward to seeing the pictures, please post them as soon as you get the guitar. Have we our first French member of the HOC? Are there any other Heritage guitars in France?
Gitfiddler Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 Have we our first French member of the HOC? Are there any other Heritage guitars in France? So far, just these folks that claim they are from France!
