2001 Heritage 575 Spruce top - $2750

**vejesse** · Yesterday, 12:42 PM

Hi folks, looking to pass along a nice carved Heritage archtop. This one has some deluxe appointments including an inlayed Heritage script logo and a bound ebony fingerboard with no inlays. I've done a far amount of work on this, including installing a full size Kent Armstrong 12 pole humbucker (originally only a floating pickup), refretting with Jescar 0.090" X 0.055" stainless fretwire, and installing a bridge and tuners. The bridge includes both a Schaller Nashville tune a matic as well as a wooden saddle that intonates well with the Thomastik Bebop 0.012" set installed. I installed the nicest Gotoh ebony key tuning machines available.

There are a couple dings on the top and a bit of abrasion, but overall the condition is very good. The tone is somewhat bright or scooped as these tops are on the thick side with tall bracing. But there's enough mid range "thunk" to sound good for single note solos.

The neck is on the thin side. Thickness just past the first fret is 0.789" and 0.874" just past the 9th. I have small hands and the neck feels fast.

The truss rod functions well, everything works, needs nothing. Includes original case as shown.

$2750/offer

Top is carved, as you note. Is the back carved, as well, or laminate? Also, could you post a photo of the headstock and the entire back of the neck? Thanks. P.S. Are there two strap buttons at/near the neck joint or are my eyes playing tricks on me?

The whole guitar is carved. The back is Michigan maple, neck is mahogany. Just one strap button.

Hey,

Could you measure the nut width on it?

We still haven't seen that "inlayed Heritage script logo". I've never seen that on a 575 before. Don't force us to use our imaginations!

Thank you for that info and those photos! Like andrew, I too am curious about what the front of the headstock looks like. I have been looking for an instrument with a slimmer neck profile, like this one. I am in southeastern Massachusetts - are you anywhere nearby? Thanks -
