My Heritage H555 & H535...Both are amazing hand built Kalamazoo instruments. Highly recommend if in the market for a semi-hollow.

2.25 " Deep is where things really change IMO.

Notice that the Guitar is Phatt/Warm without pretending and turning the tone knob waaaayyyy down - which is OK but not the same.

Another Heritage is H 576 like a H575 with a stoptail bridge [ I think 2.75" thick !].

So instead of copying the 335 - I 'd like to see some 2.25 "deep short block variations- Heritage uses / used a lot of 20 fret necks too - better for Jazz, Fusion , Legato - we can always pick closer to bridge for the 'tighter' Bebop or Benson sound , then closer to neck for more legato .
