question for Heritage 525 owners

[jazzalicious]

Hi guys.

posted the same questions in another post.

Just want to make sure someone answers.

I'm picking up a 525, but before I do.......

1) how is the weight? I have another thinline guitar, and it has a neck dive. Is it balanced?

2) how is it acoustically?

3) how is it for a warm dark jazz tone?

 

 

thanks

1) Feels well balanced to me. I do not notice any 'neck dive'

2) For an electric guitar it is fine acoustically. I wouldn't take it to an acoustic jam or anything.

3) Never strung mine with flat wounds so can't give a definitive answer. I've played jazz on it with round wounds and it sounds great to my ears. For a straight jazz gig though, I'd prefer a 575.

 

My 2cents.

Yea, everything he said but mine has the floating bridge and if I could play jazz, then I could definitely on my 525.

 

Maybe next week I'll post some 525 vs 575 sound clips.

Hmmm, maybe I need a second one with a wood bridge and flatwounds...
