Crafted in Kalamazoo, Michigan, at the legendary 225 Parsons Street factory, the Heritage Standard II Collection H-575 embodies the pinnacle of American archtop tradition. Built where generations of guitars have shaped modern music, this model reflects decades of craftsmanship while meeting the expressive demands of today’s jazz and blues professionals.

Defined by its elegant body shape and fully hollow construction, the H-575 delivers remarkable acoustic depth and natural projection. A carved curly maple top and back are paired with solid curly maple rims, creating a foundation of warmth, clarity, and articulate note response. The genuine mahogany neck features a comfortable Standard C profile for smooth playability and effortless phrasing, while the updated headstock veneer bearing the “Heritage” logo adds a refined visual signature to its timeless silhouette.

At the heart of the instrument are the new Heritage Custom Shop 225 Standard Archtop Humbuckers, designed and wound in-house to complement the guitar’s resonant build. Crafted with 42 AWG poly wire and Alnico 2 magnets, these unpotted pickups with chrome covers faithfully capture the full character of the hollow body. Paired with premium CTS potentiometers and .022uF capacitors, they produce a transparent, balanced voice with rich harmonic detail, exceptional dynamic range, and the sensitivity required for nuanced playing.

Available in Original Sunburst, the Standard II Collection H-575 stands as a refined expression of a Heritage classic. It is built for players who seek resonance, responsiveness, and the enduring quality of a beautifully made American archtop guitar.
