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...
Where did you read that the H575 was a "laminate" guitar?
Someone should compile a playlist of songs where he’s most present. I can barely pick him out on some of the recordings.
They are all USA made. Price wise, it sounds like a lot and I don’t understand the solid rim either. On the other hand, try finding a decent, used, es-175 for under 4K. I’ll guess they saw that...
Good suggestion, but 2 different animals, both in tone, and feel. The PM200 has a much deeper body, and the single pickup gives it a different tone from the PM120 which is a two pickup guitar, so the...
I thought they were but haven't kept up. Was thinking $4.5K and $6K are a lot for a laminate and the price, in addition to the requisite marketing, is propelled by the cost of doing business in the...

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...
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.
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....
I'd like to know the opposite. How to make flatwound strings sound like roundwounds. As it is, I just use roundwounds and get on with life.

Gotta laugh at the Paul Gilbert reference. Since I started this thread a little while ago I did experiment with changing the angle of the pick to the strings. I'd have to have my guitar up pretty...
