To mark four decades of exceptional guitar-making, Heritage Custom Shop proudly introduces the 40th Anniversary H-555, a limited edition homage to its flagship hollow-body design. Crafted in small numbers at 225 Parsons Street in Kalamazoo, the H-555 is a testament to Heritage’s enduring dedication to artistry and innovation.

The H-555 boasts a laminated ultra-figured curly maple body with multi-ply binding, finished in a stunning Almond Burst. Distinctive cat eye fingerboard inlays, a bound figured maple pickguard, and tortoiseshell side dots highlight the instrument’s refined visual identity. A comfortable ‘60s C-shaped neck profile ensures ease of play across every fret.

At the heart of the H-555 are the custom shop 40th Anniversary Edition 225 Classic Humbuckers, made in-house to combine the airy resonance of unpotted coils with the precision of potted covers, resulting in a vintage-inspired voice with modern clarity and feedback resistance. Enhanced by Luxe bumble bee capacitors and CTS potentiometers, the H-555 delivers a nuanced tonal palette that’s expressive and responsive. Limited to just 40 pieces, this guitar is a celebration of craftsmanship, heritage, and collectible beauty.
