clarkuss Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 I was sitting in the sauna about half an hour ago thinking the same thing. Something to rival the electromatics perhaps?

Luap Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I don't think it's that ugly...I do like it. But, I've never seen one of these until today. Does someone know more about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkuss Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 I imagine that it is a mistake and should say Hollow body because I highly doubt these will have a centre block Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkuss Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 Yeah, more "studio" type. A similar pick guard would greatly improve the look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
