Heritage H-530 Standard Translucent Cherry
The "entry-level" thinline makes a triumphant return
Originally released as a student model to a popular thinline electro-spanish, the "'30" to which the Heritage H-530 tips its hat has seen a massive resurgence in popularity over the years due to its low-weight hollowbody design and snarlier, more aggressive P-90 pickups. If you're lucky enough to have gotten your hands on a true vintage model, you understand exactly what all the fuss is about. If you're a rock or blues player looking for greater comfort and a more open tone from your thinline, the Heritage H-530 is definitely worth a look. Classic appointments, including a nickel bridge assembly, black Top Hat knobs, and those irresistible dog ear pickups, make the H-530 a guitar that can hold its own alongside any collector's edition.

Lollar P-90 pickups
Jason Lollar's handmade Alnico V "dog ear" soapbars are voiced like a mid-'50s pickup set, only with extra chime and output for greater clarity and amp break. These premium pickups equip the Heritage Standard H-530 with a versatile sonic signature: in neck position, you get a smooth, fat, rich clean tone that's perfect for jazz and blues. In the bridge position, you get the raucous snarl and hard edge of a classic P-90, which sounds great in front of a driven tube amp. Both pickups are level matched for parity between positions, with the bridge pickup giving you slightly more cut for single-note lead lines.
A tradition of quality handcrafted guitars
For 68 years, 225 Parsons Street in Kalamazoo, Michigan was home to one of America's premier guitar manufacturers. In 1984, the company moved its operations. The next year, desiring to carry on the tradition of handcrafting electric guitars in Kalamazoo, three former senior employees with a combined 84 years of guitar-building experience founded Heritage Guitar Inc., buying space and much of the original equipment in the iconic factory. Since then, Heritage Guitar has established its own tradition of quality by handcrafting guitars with flawless playability, tone, and visual appeal. We at Sweetwater love our vintage guitars. But if you're after a real-deal classic without the vintage markup, Heritage Guitars are a great way to go.
