Description
The Heritage H-575 Standard isn't just another hollow body; it's a statement piece for the discerning player who wants rich tone, timeless elegance, and undeniable craftsmanship. Whether you're a seasoned jazz guitarist or a player who leans into the expressive tones of soul, blues, or rockabilly, this archtop invites you to dig deep and play with intention. Born in the historic 225 Parsons Street workshop, it carries the legacy of Kalamazoo's golden era into the hands of modern musicians.
At the heart of the H-575 is a beautifully carved, solid curly maple body that resonates with lively articulation and complex overtones. The genuine mahogany neck and 12" radius rosewood fretboard feel familiar and refined; paired with a short 24-3/4" scale, it encourages smooth phrasing and easy chord work. The Seymour Duncan Seth Lover humbuckers are vintage-voiced masterpieces; they deliver warm, detailed tones with a touch-sensitive response that's ideal for both smoky jazz licks and clean, articulate blues leads. Under the hood, premium CTS pots and Vishay capacitors ensure tonal clarity and reliability in every setting.
Playability is effortless thanks to the Standard C neck profile, Jescar medium/jumbo frets, and bone nut, offering stable intonation and excellent sustain. Heritage's own tuners and a rosewood adjustable bridge with trapeze tailpiece keep tuning locked in while complementing the guitar's classic aesthetic. The Florentine cutaway allows easy access to the upper frets, making it as practical as it is beautiful.
Visually, the Transparent Brown nitrocellulose finish highlights the natural figure of the maple, giving each guitar a unique voice and look. Paired with the multiply black pickguard and black top hat knobs, it's an understated stunner; elegant but not overstated, grounded in tradition yet ready for anything.
The Heritage H-575 Standard is a heartfelt nod to archtop heritage with modern sensibilities baked in. At Cream City Music, we're proud to offer an instrument that bridges craftsmanship and soul in such a natural, inspiring way. Whether you're chasing warm jazz cleans or a platform for expressive tone, the H-575 is ready to respond.
