Heritage Custom Shop Factory Special H-535 Electric Guitar 60s Neck Faded Orange HRT-015129178

The Heritage Custom Core H-535 semi-hollow electric guitar is built in our factory at 225 Parsons Street, Kalamazoo, and features a laminated premium curly maple top and back. The guitar is finished in a vintage gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, that adds a subtle shine and ages beautifully over time.

Attention to detail is at the core of the H-535’s construction. Its solid curly maple rim enhances resonance, ensuring exceptional sustain. The rosewood fretboard offers a comfortable playing experience, while the 12″ radius and Jescar medium/jumbo frets enable effortless bending and precise intonation.

Heritage Guitars was founded when a team of luthiers in Kalamazoo, Michigan found themselves with a once in a lifetime opportunity. Their employer, a historic guitar manufacturer, had finished a decade long process of relocating manufacturing to Nashville Tennessee. When faced a decision between moving south or continuing an 82 year manufacturing legacy, the choice was obvious.

Today the craftsmen at 225 Parsons Street produces many of the same models of guitars, more or Les, with the same attention to detail and level of quality, with many of the same machinery, that have found their way into the hands of some of the worlds biggest rock stars, and bluesmen, and jazz greats, and players of all genres and skill levels.

Guitars from the Custom Collection are made by Heritage’s top luthiers and use some of the finest lumber stock available for the most well balanced, eye catching and resonate guitars that you would expect from a factory that has been making classics for over 100 years. 225 Humbuckers are made with AlNiCo III bar magnets and wound in the same manner as the original holy grail Patent Applied For pickups first made in this very same factory. The headstock shape and “Heritage” logo design honor designs which were originally used in the factory from 1928 to 1936.
