Description
The Heritage H-555 Core Collection in Transparent Cherry is more than a finely built semi-hollow; it's a love letter to the golden era of American guitar craftsmanship. If you're a seasoned player searching for a soulful instrument that delivers both presence and punch, this H-555 has your name all over it. Inspired by a lineage that includes some of the most revered semi-hollows ever made, this model captures that spirit with an artisan's touch-each one handbuilt in Kalamazoo by the same hands that shaped the legend.
With its fully laminated curly maple body, genuine mahogany neck, and warm rosewood fretboard, the H-555 exudes tonal character that's alive with resonance. The semi-hollow design naturally lends itself to jazz, blues, and classic rock; but once you light up those in-house wound 225 Hot Classic humbuckers, you'll feel the attitude spill over into more aggressive territory. These pickups are a perfect match-vintage in voice but hot enough to push your amp with expressive clarity, ensuring you can dig in and roar without losing subtlety.
Playability is front and center thanks to a comfortable 24.75" scale and classic '50s C neck profile, which fills the hand without getting in the way. The 12-inch radius and Jescar medium-jumbo frets make bends and fast runs effortless, while the bone nut and Custom Shop tuners guarantee tuning stability that stays locked in through any set. The Tune-o-matic bridge and aluminum stopbar round out a hardware package that maximizes sustain and minimizes hassle.
Visually, this guitar is stunning; the Transparent Cherry finish lets the flame of the curly maple body shine through like a vintage photograph brought back to life. Block inlays on the rosewood fingerboard and the vintage gloss nitro finish seal the deal with a sense of timeless class.
The Heritage Custom Shop H-555 isn't just a guitar; it's an heirloom built for the player who demands soul, style, and substance in equal measure. At Cream City Music, we're proud to offer an instrument that honors its roots while being ready for any modern stage or studio session. This one's not just collectible-it's completely inspiring.
