mad dog Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 It's my first heritage too. Been nosing around after ES-175 types, so the H575 seemed really interesting. A local guy listed a blue one on CL. Kinda turquoise in the pics. Talked to him anyway (despite the color). Turns out he has 4 or 5 Heritages, really nice guy. Held it for me so I could try it. In person, not turquoise at all, quite a royal shade of blue. Spectacular flame front and back. It's a custom. Bound neck. Blue is the last color I'd think would work. And I've never liked gold hardware. Yet somehow it adds up to beautiful and elegant. In a word, charming. 5 seconds in my hands unplugged, I knew it was coming home with me. His other Heritages (Golden Eagle, a blond H575, ornate H555 and a 516) were beautiful too, but this blue one had the feel. My camera is busted, so unfortunately cannot provide pics. Too bad. It's beautiful. Plugged in, just about perfect. More resistant to feedback than I had expected. I am so lucky to have found this wonderful instrument!

DetroitBlues Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Sounds like a beautiful custom work of functional art! Congrats! If the wood is all laminated, it should be stiffer and less prone to feedback. Hopefully, you'll be able to get some pics because it sounds like a custom order.

mad dog Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 Thank you all!! Wish I could get a pic, but our only camera just died. So it'll be awhile. Too bad, it is strangely beautiful. The look on my wife's face when I opened the case was priceless. All she could say was "You sure surprised me this time." MD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's almost as good and as rare as "You're right" Will be cool to see when you can do pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
