The Heritage Core Collection H-535 semi-hollow electric guitar, crafted with precision at th historic 225 Parsons Street factory in Kalamazoo, is an embodiment of classic elegance and meticulous craftsmanship. With a laminated, premium curly maple top and back, this guitar boasts a vintage gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish, offering a gentle sheen that will age gracefully over time. At the heart of the H-535’s design lies an unwavering attention to detail. Its solid curly maple rim enhances resonance, yielding exceptional sustain, while the rosewood fretboard provides a smooth, comfortable feel. The 12” radius and Jescar medium/jumbo frets make bending notes effortless and ensure precise intonation. A 50s-inspired C-shaped neck profile provides comfort, even during extended sessions, complemented by a bone nut that improves sustain and tonal clarity. Vintage-inspired block inlays lend a timeless sophistication to the fretboard. Outfitted with our exclusive Heritage Custom Shop 225 Classic Humbuckers, the H-535 delivers a dynamic tonal range—from warm, soulful blues to fiery rock. These humbuckers capture the essence of classic tone, while dual volume and tone controls and a three-way toggle switch allow you complete mastery over your sound. Built with the finest components, the H-535 ensures exceptional quality and longevity. CTS 500K potentiometers, Orange Drop .022uF capacitors, and a Switchcraft toggle switch provide smooth, reliable performance. A locking bridge and tailpiece further enhance tuning stability and resonance. Completing this distinguished instrument are custom "Heritage" branded tuners, sleek black top hat knobs, and a black switch tip. The headstock showcases a refined new size, featuring a Holly veneer adorned with the iconic 'Heritage' logo and Twin Arrow inlay.
