This guitar is spectacular! You know who kept making great guitars in Kalamazoo after Gibson moved? Heritage, that's who! Yeah baby. The history there is legendary and, although the big name moved, the attention to detail never left.
They say a pupil is not greater than his master, but this H-530, like most Heritage guitars, has some stunning features and craftsmanship that puts it head-and-shoulders above its Gibby counterparts.
The 530 is crafted from laminate maple (Antique Natural), providing some snap to the tone, and a mahogany "C" profile neck (.839"-.920"). It has just about the. best. damn. C profile neck we've ever played along with a gorgeous 12" rosewood fingerboard. The nut measures in at 1.7" wide.
This beautiful guitar is loaded up with Lollar P90s (some of the best in our opinion) making it a rock n' roll machine with equal parts class and sass (N: 8.22k, B: 9.38k). Traditional controls of Vol-Vol-Tone-Tone with a 3-way toggle let you dial in all the tone combos this guitar is capable of. And there's a lot.
It weighs in at just 6 lbs. Super resonant and super comfy.
It is lightly used and incredibly clean with barely any visible playwear. The pro techs here at EMS have given this top-shelf guitar a top-shelf setup along with a full fret level. This guitar will arrive to you ready to play with zero issues!
We will ship it out swiftly and securely with the included Heritage hardshell case.
