What does $25 buy?

I also put a passive high-pass filter on the output jack. A .022uf capacitor and 100k resistor cuts frequencies below 70hz which really works well to filter out boominess and muddiness in a hollow body guitar.

For a long time I've wanted Les Paul Florentine. The Gibsons are outraguously priced but you can still get an Epiphone for a reasonable price.

Yeah i got one , I like that it has an access plate on back for the electronics

I had my Asian builder make me a blue one with the switch in the lower position like a 335

I also have a Dean Shire that is surprisingly the heaviest guitar i got 9+ lbs
it looks like it's made like the 335 with shaped plywood top and back. Probably all maple

The Florentine and my copy are standard body blank carved out with a f-hole in the top sonics not really a semihollow. More like a weight relieved with F-hole

If you want a true semihollow
The Grote I got is exactly what I wanted
Slightly larger than an LP
super light 4lbs
Acoustic loud like a really hollow one

Has anyone used one of these string trees?

That's a "String Butler." I've wondered about those also.
