    HollowBody Suggestions

    Hey all- I've always been a solidbody player, but I've got a new burning desire to add a big hollow/semi-hollowbody to my collection. The problem is, I've found it very hard to find a good selection of these babies in my local shops to try out. So I've taken to the usual sites (Reverb, eBay)...

    Can I save this guitar? (6 string piccolo hollowbody)

    One of my neighbors kindly (or otherwise) gave me this Epiphone Dot studio to harvest parts from. Usually I'd do just that but... I LOVE 335s! And the break is kinda neat. I know this sort of neck break is not unusual. Unfortunately I'd also have to build a whole new headstock (+ Tuners) as he...
