bolero Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 hey does heritage make a thinner 575 type body with a center block? similar to the gibby 135? I believe they're 3" thick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCovach Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I've got a Gibson 137 and a Heritage 576 and they are very similar. The 137 has more frets clear of the cutaway, so access up the neck is better. The 576 has a floating block, so it's not a traditional center block. A 135 only differs structurally from the 137 by virtue of the trapeze tailpiece, right? The 137 has a stop tailpiece. The 576 shape is not the same as the 574, however. More like half a 535.

bolero Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 ah, I had a 576 but sold it because of the bad upper fret access...I couldn't fit my gorilla hand in that small cutaway, it was awkward. fantastic guitar though 137 has a stop tailpiece & mahagony center block, 135 floating TP has balsawood block, as it doesn't need the structural strength to hold the posts thx John!! ps why did this get posted 3 times? I got a board error when I posted & just hit refresh...next thing I know there are 3 topics here!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolero Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 from other thread Tim "Maybe the Henry Johnson model? I think that is still available...says so on the website anyway. " yes, I think the HJ is the same as the 576? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gitfiddler Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 ah...the 525 is close..P90's though http://www.heritageg...5osb_specs.html Add humbuckers and a center block to the H525 and you would have something close to the ES135...only MUCH better!
