[PREORDER] Heritage Standard Collection H-535 Electric Guitar w/Case, Pelham Blue, Bigsby

The Heritage Factory Special Standard Collection H-535 is a remarkable blend of craftsmanship and musical history, emanating from the revered Kalamazoo factory. This guitar is a true testament to Heritage's legacy of quality and innovation and resonates with the soul of a bygone era of guitar manufacturing.

The H-535 starts with a thinline body, carved from laminated curly maple, bound to perfection on the top and back. This choice of wood is a well-documented classic for a reason! The semi-hollow construction with solid maple center block, elegantly balances the guitar's sound, offering solid feedback control and while maintaining that open, acoustic resonance.

The H-535's neck, meticulously crafted from genuine mahogany, is paired with a bound rosewood fingerboard—a marriage of form and function. Heritage's "Standard" profile fills the palm nicely, facilitating playing across the entirety of the neck. The fingerboard sports a classic 12" radius, 22 Medium/Jumbo Jescar frets, and is adorned with white dot inlays to guide you up the board. 

As for electronics, the H-535 is equipped with Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates pickups at both the neck and bridge positions. These pickups deliver a classic rock vibe, with a strong midrange, warm low end, and a distinctive Texas-y sizzle. Paired with premium components like independent CTS 500K pots and Vishay .22uF caps, the guitar offers a nuanced tonal control.

The nitrocellulose Pelham Blue top finish against the dark brown back/neck adds visual allure to the already enticing package. Grover tuning machines and a Tune-o-Matic bridge keep everything stable and tuned like a well-oiled machine. 

This guitar reflects Heritage's commitment to quality vintage-style craftsmanship that can keep up with the modern guitarist's needs.
