LP sized hollow or semihollow guitars. Suggestions?

[fingerace]

When I was in the market for a LP clone I ended up with a hollow Greco - which doesn't have THE LP sound IMO but it really sings. I ll be putting p-rails in that probably. The original plan was to put phat cats, but the p-rails came out...

Now I am looking for a second hollow LP at a budget. Let's say less than $600. The only one I know is the Xaviere xv-550 which goes for about $250.

Do you know of any others?

Thanks a lot

Epi is making LP clones that are "chambered".

Also check out Gibson LP's and their 339 - all semi hollow.

My Alleykat is LP sized, almost fully hollow, has a beautiful flamed maple top and I got mine for $200 used.

did you check out Rondo Music? www.rondomusic.net

People say the quality is somewhere between an Epiphone and a Gibson...all the stuff you're gonna replace anyway is cheap and the body and wood is reportedly really good for the price. Been thinking of one to satisfy my Les Paul GAS too.

Maybe a prs se semi hollow? I don't know how much they would be used....

This might sound cheesy, but, I had a Jay Turser semi hollow LP size/shape model (I think) JT-134 that felt great and sounded cool once I replaced the volume and tone pots. I traded it and a funky Wasburn I had for a Jackson DK3. I wouldn't mind finding another one.

Oh yeah, that new one by Vox look pretty interesting. Go to their website and check it out...

Oh man those Vox guitars look great! and the specs are perfect! They go for $2500 though... I bet those three-90 pickups by dimarzio came out just to attack the p-rails market.

I can't believe that something like this came out. It's like my dream line of guitars... I HATE VOX!!

btw guys thanks for your suggestions... keep em coming if there are more...

I know Epi made a LP with F holes...you may want to search for those.
