Yep, only a single cut, but theyre as comfy as an old pair of jeans. Mine feels about half the weight of my Lester to boot.

But it can't be the one I saw Martin Barre playing! That was double cut!

No, of course not. I was under the impression you were looking for a small semi for personal use. If that's the case, those Kats are pretty cool.

No, I was just wondering what Martin was playing. It looked great, and, obviously sounded awesome. But Martin could make a massive dog turd sound awesome if he added a pickup to it.

I believe that you are trying to describe a E-339, not a E-336.

Lower bout measurement of my LP, 13" across...my CS336, 14". They are very close body size wise. There are a few small size semi hollows, did you notice what kind of fret markers he had?

Has anyone here ever been to the Gibson Factory in either Memphis or Nashville? I just came from Memphis Factory and it was truely amazing the craftmanship that goes into the semi hollowbodies. They said it takes approx. 21 days to complete one guitar and each is hand sprayed so no two are alike. One guitar goes through a series of buffings; they said the easies color was red and the hardiest color to buff to a brilliant shine was black. Thought I would share a little info with you all. So if you have never gone there you should plan a trip.
