58super Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Is the standard neck on an H550 3 piece maple or solid mahogany? I've seen pictures of both. The Heritage website says maple but the site also says HRW pickups are available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SofaPlayer Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 This seems to be a good opportunity to ask something else: What's the standard neck profile on a H550 like? More on the chunky or on the thin side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More on the chunky or on the thin side? There really isn't a "standard" Heritage neck profile. Older guitars tend to have thinner necks while more recent ones, from roughly the mid to late '00s have larger necks. And, as H mentioned, a custom order can be whatever the customer requires.

Guest HRB853370 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I think on a production (not custom) order the neck shape is pretty standard, 58. On my 550 it actually feels pretty similar to my H150's. But I think neck size assessment is the most subjective topic on this forum!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lb61906 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 When I got my H-550 I was slightly disappointed when I recieved it because I thought it would come standard with a 3 piece neck (it had the standard mahogany). But It came out so good, I got over it. I would describe the neck shape as 59' ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJLII Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 My '94 H-550 had a multi piece maple neck. It was a pretty slim profile. If it had been girthy I'd still have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
