In search of: Heritage H-525

[soultrane]

Hello,

I'm on the hunt for a Heritage H-525 archtop guitar and would love to buy one. If you have this model and are considering selling, or know someone who might be, please get in touch.

Thanks so much.

Hey, Marty! Where did this one end up?
Heritage H-525

This one is in the States; not sure if he'd ship international, but worth a try.

People: the OP is having problems accessing this site -- anyone else not getting it?

It's an ad for H-575

Correct, thanks! He told me he couldn't access it. Nice guitar for a decent price.

That's a Utah local marketplace, what makes you think he'd ship it at all, let alone overseas? I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but the main point of advertising locally, e.g., on Craig's List, is so that you won't have to hassle with shipping, insurance, etc.

Well, the Seller is European (I know him), and he's trying to sell a guitar; I also said I wasn't sure, but it never hurts to ask.

I don't recall now.

Heritage didn't make many of the H-525. It's not that they were unusually hard to make. The market wasn't as strong as it was and is for the H-575. But I did have a couple of the H-525s over the years. Now that I have a Humdebugger, P-90s are great.

I recall that when Heritage was designing this model, they put a lot of thought into the neck joint. I think they got it right.

Lollar makes excellent P-90s.

A great option IMO is to buy a H-575 and put in Fralin P-92s. H-575s are plentiful. P-92s may not sound exactly like P-90s, but they do sound single coil to me and they don't hum. They are easy to install.

Why not just buy an H-530?
