Oozing with premium features from its expertly crafted tonewoods to its premium pickups and electronics, the Heritage Standard II Collection H-535 ticks every box!

Based around one of the most iconic shapes in electric guitar design, the H-535 features a laminated Curly Maple body, a Mahogany neck with Rosewood fingerboard and a duo of Heritage Custom Shop 225 Standard Humbuckers. Ready for home, stage or studio, no stone is left unturned on this boutique hollow body tone monster. Presented in a protective Heritage hard case, you won't want to put this guitar down.

Heritage Standard vs. Standard II H-535

The Heritage Standard II H-535 collection brings the highly regarded Heritage Standard series even closer to electric guitar perfection. No stone has been left unturned to enhance this range to the wants and needs of modern players and make the Standard II collection, Heritage's most versatile Semi-Hollow electrics to date. Unlike the original Standard series, which featured a duo of Seymour Duncan ’59 Humbuckers, the Standard II pickups are now custom-wound in-house at the 225 factory for the most authentic humbucking tones possible. The wiring has been upgraded for Series/Parallel options, and the headstock has been refined for an even more classic look!

Heritage Guitars

It's easy to admire guitars built in the ‘golden era’ and forget that behind the music, there are people who craft these instruments, tools which help make them and a building that holds everything together. In 1985, one of the most important workforces in guitar manufacturing was due to be disbanded and relocated. Leaving with it, one of the most influential guitar factories in the world, as well as a whole series of custom-made machinery and tools, which would be left to gather dust and rot. Fuelled by a desire not to leave Kalamazoo and to preserve the legacy that the world-famous factory on 225 Parsons Street had helped formulate, a group of passionate employees decided to purchase the iconic building as well as the original guitar-making equipment it housed. Fittingly named Heritage Guitars, they continue the goal of producing some of the finest handcrafted American-made guitars, made the old-fashioned way, in small quantities using only the finest materials available and built to the highest possible standards.
