Heritage Guitar - Ascent+ Collection H-535 Scarlet Red Burst

With this Scarlet Red Burst finish, the H-535 Ascent+ adopts a more expressive aesthetic while retaining a coherent technical base geared towards versatility. The laminated curly maple body plays a central role here, providing good attack definition and a balanced response across the spectrum. This semi-hollow construction produces a sound that is both precise and open, with a natural resonance that remains under control.

The mahogany neck, with its C-shaped profile, is easy to grip. This shape makes it easy to move along the entire length of the neck, whether for rhythmic playing or more detailed passages. The rosewood fingerboard, with its 12" to 16" radius, complements this feeling of fluidity, allowing both stable chords and wider bends without feeling constrained.

In terms of sound, the humbuckers provide a dense, balanced base with enough substance to cover a wide range of registers. The integration of the coil split expands the possibilities, providing clearer, more incisive tones when needed. This flexibility is easy to exploit, making the instrument equally suited to use in rehearsal or on stage.

Selected components, such as the GraphTech TUSQ XL saddle and Alpha electronics, contribute to the overall stability of the instrument. The result is a coherent guitar, designed to offer a straightforward experience without unnecessary complexity, while retaining a clear link with the Heritage identity.
