Re: Who rocks hard with a semi-hollow? You? Famous Rock Stars?
ES175's and Byrdlands and whatever the P90 version that George Throroughgood uses are hollowbody archtops....as are the PRS F-hole guitars......NOT a good idea if you are using a high gain amp and even with vintage stuff, they feedback like a mother. Those charging elephant howls that Ted gets are just him removing his hands from the guitar and then trying to control the feedback:laugh2: By the way, Ted did sign an endrosement deal with PRS back in the Damn Yankees days (the zebra striped one he sold in his catalog) but IMHO, it never sounded as good as the Byrdland.....It was very noticable when he would switch back to the old guitars for the classic songs. Same as when Alex Lifeson would put away his PRS or super strat and break out the Les Paul Custom or ES for 2112, etc Night and day. The BB KIng Lucille is probably the best at controlling feedback because he had it designed for that. BB is ALL about stage volume whether he is using his old Gibson Lab Series amps or a Twin. I saw him from the 10th row of a 2200 seat concert hall and i didn't even hear his signal from the PA.....he just had that big ole Lab cranked!!!!!! And no feedback:fingersx:
