tsp17 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Negotiating a deal on a 1993 576. Antique burst. From the pics it looks to be in very good to excellent shape. Am i correct that 576 is like a 575 with a floating center block, a little more sustain, leaning toward a 535 sound, a little more hollow than semi-hollow? Pricing?

yoslate Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 A 576 does not sound like a 535. A 576 will have a fuller, richer, deeper voice. There's a lot more air inside a 576, with the deeper body. I have both, but I don't have a 575, so I can't offer an A/B there. I suppose it would be accurate to suggest the 576 is, "...a little more hollow than semi-hollow." I think 576's sound great! I have Phat Cats in mine, and it's incredibly versatile! Rich and warm at the neck. It honks in middle position. And the bridge has a warm twang to it. Great for Rockabilly, jazz, blues, R&B comping. Terrific instruments! I gave $1500 for mine, maybe ten years ago, when it was ten years old. On the high side, but it was a 9.5+ out of 10. The going rate, when you can find them, is probably Between $1250 and $1500, for one in good to great shape. Mine came with Tone Pros hardware, too, so I saved on that. Fill us in, if you snag it, Tad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heritagefan7 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Tad---best of luck w/ the purchase---I have a 574 that I love---has the floating block and is jazzer and a rocker--feedbak is not difficult to control in my experience. Likewise, I do not have a 575--but I do have a big body (17 x 3 5/8) hollowbody guild. The 576 is totally different than the guild in tone, playability, and just abt in every way. The 574 is a unique animal and for my part---i really love it. I hope it works out for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsp17 Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 thx, the deal is almost done. sleeping on it. GC seller just closed for the night and we are $50 apart. i've been looking for something a little more "semi-hollow" in tone, but still a jazz player. i think this one might be it. 1993 576 Antique Burst, wood pick guard, all stock, proabably Schallers (right?). looks like it is in great shape. It is a Guitar Center so if i don't like it, return should be easy. Did this one belong to anybody here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsp17 Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 by the way, i've heard it said that the 576 is basically Groovemaster with 2 pickups. True? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heritagefan7 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 107548080_lg.jpg At GC in Illinois Very nice--yes, mine has Schallers---I think that they do a very nice job on the 574---BTW, I was told tht the 574 is a dressed down version of the 576...mine has a plastice pg and a vintage orange finish---it's like a good friend.

yoslate Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 by the way, i've heard it said that the 576 is basically Groovemaster with 2 pickups. True? Groovemaster is full hollow. Cutaway is more Venetian. G.master also has a trapeze tailpiece. Same scale and body dimensions,though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GASguy Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Another vote for the H 576 as a great guitar; mine has a Duncan Jazz in the neck and a Seth Lover in the bridge. It sounds huge, full and open when plugged in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesdawg Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 After selling my vintage ES175 Gibson. ( I never liked the floating bridge anyway) I bought two Heritage Guitars which took care of the gap in my collection. My H576 and H574 are in a zone of their own, I also agree the H576 is a sweet fine sounding instrument. Play On : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
