Hollow, how are you? (The Hollow & Semi-Hollow owners club)

[bigboyneverleft]

I was semi for quite a bit

But recently I also went full hollow. Amazing instrument.

I tried to give its justice, but it is prettier in real.

Some really sweet looking semi's here here's a couple of mine nothing special but I like them. The 335 is a Carlos made in China and will be a nice player with a few tweeks I will install a bigsby and replace the pups, and a Greg Bennett RL2 which has a bigsby copy type trem in which I etched my own brand into.

Wow, my previously extant three semi's are way back on page 3, I'd forgotten I was in this thread.

Anyhow, a couple months back the kids in my church band bought me a surprise early birthday present, a Peerless Epi Casino. My first-ever full hollow. As you can see, it has a Bigsby added, also the tuners had been replaced with Grovers, a master volume has been added, and the neck pickup is a Rio Grande.

Home at Casa Krashpad:



I was given the guitar on Holy Saturday and first played her in public at Easter Sunrise service the next, day, so she's called Mary.

;)

Here's her first outing outside church, a couple weeks after Easter, with First Things First (the church band):



And being played on my actual birthday, May 12, with my rock band Crash Pad:

These are my two....

2001 Heritage Sweet 16 (Custom). This is my main jazz guitar. I switched from a floater to a 4-point mounted HRW 4 years which really improved my tone.





2009 Heritage H-535 (Custom). I use this along with my Tele to play some blues. It is set up with Lollar Imperials.

Here's mine: an ES-335 with Lollar
Imperial Low Winds. This guitar is incredible.

Seeing this thread back in action, I'll post the two Peerless models (one archtop hollowbody, one semi-hollow) I've been throwing all over the internet as of late. Got them for just a hair over $600 each.


Peerless Manhattan: Laminated Spruce top on flamed maple sides and back, 24.6" scale.












Peerless Smoked Custom Bass: Center-block, 34" scale.

1996 Heritage H-576 in natural, with Duncan P-Rails

My 54 silvertone.

I acquired this Waterstone Luther a couple weeks ago. It has a sweet mellow surfy dano sound.

Lady Blue :)

Not sure I ever posted this one here.
2003 Heritage 575 Custom. Ebony board and chrome hardware are both non-typical for the Custom model. This one has been upgraded with Fralin Unbuckers, TonePros Kluson tuners and a Tuneomatic bridge with ebony foot.

She's a beauty, JR.

Thanks Dave....knowing you...
you'll get an even bigger charge out of the Tele I just got from the proceeds of my strat sale. :) Just posted it in the 52 Hot Rod Owners Club.
