They did. Consistent quality control. Gibsons are pretty hit-or-miss these days. Anyways, the H-575 is sorta like an ES-175 and Gibson doesn't make that model any more. Personally, I like what...

Heritage now offering the H-575 as part of their Core Collection Series

On their current website, Heritage does not describe the top or back plates of the H-575 as carved, or even solid wood. They do mention that the rims are solid wood. Here is the relevant copy from...

I don't think good or poor conduction is the issue, but which will result in the tone desired. When I replaced the stock metal bridge of adjustable metal saddles on my arch top with a single piece...

Someone should compile a playlist of songs where he’s most present. I can barely pick him out on some of the recordings.

How to make roundwound strings sound like flatwounds?

My Sakura 175 copy has the post and no bracing. Actually it looks pretty shoddy and with the fake humbuckers! I don't believe the post is a repair for a sunken top, I think it's instead of bracing...

Nervous NGD x2

The sound post wouldn't have been a deal breaker, the lack of bracing is. Seller was a really nice guy however so shame to have to have let him down.

Nervous NGD x2

The arch top is stiffer than a flat top, and the f-holes allow it to move in a piston-like way. The bracing adds to this motion. This is nest for the mids. It affects violins and mandolins, as well....
