I found this on Reefeeverb.
The Heritage H525 is a full hollow thin line guitar with a Florentine cutaway. Maple Laminate top and back with a solid maple rim. Mahogany neck with a rosewood fretboard. 2 Lollar dog ear P90s. The H525 is loosely based off of the vintage Gibson ES125.
These H525s RARELY come up for sale.
But this one was dramatically different. The body was finished in a matte black. Originally is was a VSB (vintage sunburst) kind of a light tangerine burst. The H525s had a cult following among Heritage enthusiasts. But not many were ever made.
When I first saw it, I wasn’t a fan of the refin. But after stalking the ad for a couple of days, I decided to pull the trigger. I figured, worst case scenario, I could always get the top refinished at some point if I don’t like it. But it’s actually pretty cool.
The seller also upgraded the bridge to a Faber ABR1. I believe everything else is stock.
He currently has it setup for 11s. I will be putting 9s on it, so there will be some extensive setup work to be done.
I had one of these 525s many years ago and they are such a joy to play. Lightweight and full of warm creamy goodness!!!
This is a pic from the seller. I will have pics and a full report after setup.
