Heritage Custom Shop Core Collection H-555 Ebony

The Heritage Custom Shop Core Collection H-555 in Ebony is a masterfully crafted semi-hollow electric guitar that embodies the pinnacle of American luthiery. Built at the historic 225 Parsons Street factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan, this instrument showcases Heritage's commitment to quality and tradition.

The H-555 features a laminated, highly figured curly maple top and back with solid curly maple sides, delivering a rich tonal palette with warmth, clarity, and resonance. Its comfortable '50s C-shaped mahogany neck and bound ebony fingerboard with block inlays offer a vintage feel and effortless playability. The guitar's elegant aesthetics are enhanced by multi-ply binding on the body, headstock, and pickguard, gold hardware, and the iconic kite inlay on the headstock. Finished in a nitrocellulose vintage gloss, the H-555 not only sounds exceptional but also develops a unique character as it ages.

For those seeking a more worn-in look, an Artisan Aged finish is also available. Each H-555 comes with a premium Heritage Custom Shop hard case, ensuring it remains an heirloom-quality instrument for years to come.
