Californiaman Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I know you've seen my ES-175 hundreds of times. But how many of you actually play a hollow body guitar? Here's my Epiphone Sorrento Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis G Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 ...how many of you actually play a hollow body guitar? I have en Elitist Casino that I absolutely LOVE (see avatar). As a side note, our lead player in our mid '60's cover band used an ES175. Awesome guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedzep Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I play a sweet, jazzy Guild 3/4 M65...but less and less often. I'm morphing into an all acoustic player so it's on the auction block. http://www.ebay.com/itm/282615088564?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zigzag Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I had a Gretsch G-6120 Nashville, but I got rid of it (wasn't playing it) for the Bigsby and poor upper fret access. I own an Ibanez Artcore AFJ91 which I like for what it is. My preference is for semi-hollows which own more of and play more often. I like jazz guitar music played on a hollow body. As much as I love to listen to jazz, the instruments of choice for listening to jazz are the horns, and I don't really have a good jazz vocabulary on guitar. Plus, jazz can be played on any guitar. Love that ES-175, Caliman. Hope to own one some day... maybe when I can do it justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryUK Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I had an Ibanez AF75. I sold it and regretted it ever since. I've got an Aria TA60 which is a great guitar. Better than Epiphone, but I've not played a Gibson 335. If I could afford one, I'd have a Switchmaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Scales Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 No, but I've had the pleasure of playing an old (mid-late 60's) 330 and it was superb. (...and I think Uncle Ted's old black Byrdland is one of the coolest looking guitars on the planet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versatile Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Have loved hollow bodied guitars since way back to the dawn of time.....:blink: Some of them are referred to as 'cello' guitars Current quiver includes.....

Pin Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I have two hollow bodies. My ES345 1959 Reissue and a "proper" hollow body - a 1974 Yamaha AE12 jazz box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I play a Hofner hollowbody archtop. Not for gigs. Just for myself at home. I have a semi-hollow ES-339 that I do gig sometimes. I am very tempted by a seventyseven semi-hollow, but have been unable to try one out so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
