  • Oops I did it again...

    Sold a guitar I wasn't gelling with recently, and decided to get a big hunk of semi-hollow goodness.

    The Gibson stuff is about $4K new, so that was out of the question. Found this little gem in a shop I used to work at actually.

    This was way cheaper and is in the "Inspired by Gibson" line.
    ​​​​​​That means CTS pots stock, alnico mag pickups, with proper single conductor braided wire. This thing just sings!

        Nothing wrong with a nice Epi Dot!

          Everyone needs a semi in their collection. That one's gorgeous.

            I've never, never, never felt the urge of a semihollow, maybe because I didn't like the guitars with chambered bodies I had, who knows

              Neither did I, but than I wound up with a pretty killer Epi ES-175.
              You will never understand How it feels to live your life With no meaning or control And with nowhere left to go You are amazed that they exist And they burn so bright

                That's a nice semi-hollow. The one I had was a Hamer EchoTone. It was set up really nice by the previous owner. Played like butter. Had to let it go to help pay for car transmission repairs. And I got it super cheap too.

                  Semi hollows are probably my favorite style of guitars. Mine has Antiquities in it, and sounds superb.

                    Maybe you would if you tried one.

                      I like semi hollow guitars myself
                      the larger acoustic size body of the 335 always gets me

                      I have several LP sized semi hollow guitars
                      And they are great

                        My other one is a Hamer Artist Custom. Like a Les Paul DC style semi-hollow. I definitely like the semi-hollow thing a lot.

                          That's a great color for it.

                          Cool chair too.

                            Congrats!

                            I love my IBG 335. I've swapped pickups and changed to a Gotoh Nashville bridge to suit me but out of the box it was an excellent guitar
