  • Heritage H-575 opinion?

    From =?UTF-8?Q?Zyni=20Mo=C3=AB?=@21:1/5 to All on Wed Sep 9 11:50:03 2020
    Have chance to buy one of these: it is single-pickup (but not floating)
    one. I have 175 already, would hope the Heritage is less feedbacky than
    175 on neck pickup as body is thinner? Other opinions welcome esp.
    compared to 175. (I can't go see it as far away and CV19.)

    Thanks

    I Had a H575 but 2 pickup version and a Gibs 125 which is essentially the same body as 175.
    But H575 has very little acoustic sound, even for home practice, compare with those Gibsons..
    H5757 is a carved top but very thick,and had nice electric sounds especially when just adding a smidge of bridge pickup.
    I actually had 2 of these my present is an older one which was built before Heritage got their Pleck Machine. My newer model had a much better neck because of the Pleck machine. and got even better sounds.
    You should maybe contact Heritage and ask what year they started using that Machine, it gave a better neck.
    Once you know when they used that machine, you can go to the Heritage website and search the serial number to get the year of manufacture.
