Heritage H-530 – Handcrafted Fully Hollow Electric Guitar from Kalamazoo, USA

The Heritage H-530 is a masterfully crafted fully hollow electric guitar, built in the legendary Heritage factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan – the same historic workshop where some of the most iconic guitars in music history were made. Built entirely by hand in the USA, the H-530 combines classic American luthiery with high-end craftsmanship, making it a compelling and authentic alternative to traditional hollowbody models from major U.S. brands.

Its fully hollow body is made of laminated figured maple for the top, back, and sides, without a center block – resulting in a lightweight, open, and highly resonant instrument with rich acoustic character. This construction gives the H-530 a woody, responsive tone ideal for jazz, blues, roots, and rockabilly.

Instead of humbuckers, the H-530 features a pair of Lollar P-90 Dogear pickups, delivering raw, vintage-style single-coil tone with dynamic attack and rich midrange growl. The combination of fully hollow design and P-90s results in a tone that is lively, airy, and articulate – warm and clear in the neck position, punchy and expressive at the bridge.

Inside, the electronics reflect Heritage’s commitment to quality: CTS potentiometers, premium capacitors, a sturdy Switchcraft toggle switch, and a Pure Tone output jack offer durability, clarity, and top-tier performance — components typically found in high-end boutique guitars.

The solid mahogany neck features a comfortable Standard profile and a rosewood fingerboard with a 12″ radius and 22 medium/jumbo frets, offering a smooth and natural playing feel across the 24.75″ scale. A hand-fitted bone nut ensures accurate intonation and excellent tonal transfer.
