I had a similar problem with the H tailpiece on my 550. I replaced it with a Benedetto style ebony tailpiece, and the problem vanished. Neck on 550 is a little wider and chunkier than most and i love it. I think the ebony tailpiece suits it well. I also added ebony volume and tone knobs. Below is before and after…

Thx all. Arrived yesterday. Will post a NGD topic later..but I’m happy. It is great.

Probably my favorite guitar to play live. Of all my H guitars it has the best neck/nut width combination for me. Just feels right in my hands. Sounds great through just about any amp and super versatile. Straight ahead jazz KB tone, getting jazz-rock/funky, it really can do it all. Rarely feeds back even at volume/loud drummer/horns. Looks good too! Anybody else have a crush on your 550? I love my other Heritage and other guitars too, but for playing in a band that does a lot of different things, this one gets the call most often. Indoors, outdoors, even in the studio I’d put it up against just about anything for tone and feel. Link to a recording: https://on.soundcloud.com/6SVD2MkCr2E14HyaEE

Thanks all. I’m excited about it. It has to go from Florida to California now so ….tick-tock. Hopefully by Saturday I’ll be able to report on its safe arrival.

For the record I did not pay that reverb asking price in the screenshot photo. Did not mean to display that in the post. Admin - can you delete it? Bought directly from Wolfe with some negotiation to get to a number I could afford and was also fair to them. always good to work with the team at Wolfe. But…it was still a good chunk of change so something now needs to be sold….stay tuned.

fantastic. thanks for posting @rwinking Great stuff.

I remember you! welcome back.

I’ve had some good experience with TrueFire. Especially when i need a quick primer on a technique or style that is not in my toolbox.

Spot on. I might be on the low end of the long-timers at here at HOC, but I’ve acquired around 10 or so H’s. I currently have four. There’s the one that “got away” but such is life. @mugsy1pm you will find plenty of empathy on that front from other members. Most of us have at least one that we wish we could have back.

Nice! …and welcome. Good group of people here.

It is amazing. Wonderful through any amp but extra special through my mesa 5:50 + into a 2x12 ported cabinet. Like a slightly darker 50 watt twin reverb, wonderfully big, clean and warm 6L6 goodness.

Multiple favorites for different reasons, but here’s one (if i have to pick just one):

LOL

Really nice. Congratulations.
