    Lots of SG's and LP's at the Fret. I play a semi-hollow arch-top. My primary electric is my ES-135, which has such a great tone straight into the amp. Anyone else?

    I use my Washburn HB-30/CH (335-ish style) for almost all of my Rawk And/Or Roll humbuckin' as well as some R&B and rockabilly type tunes. I love the fullness of the tone, though it can be susceptible to feedback (of course) and slight overtones at stage volumes. Taming the beast is half the fun

    Similar to the LP/Strat thread, I find it has changed my approach to my playing in that I try to be more subtle, especially on the neck p'up, to milk those dreamy tones

    My Tele is for Twangin' and Bangin'
    Electrics: Hagstrom Ultra Swede (Gold Eagle Burst) Gretsch 5120 Electromatic (Orange) Custom Nashville Blackout Telecaster (Black, Stat mid/neck p'ups; Lil Puncher (Modern Vintage) bridge p'up; Wilkinson Compensated Bridge w/ 3 brass saddles, Warmoth Vintage Modern Birdseye Maple Neck) Fender MIM Stratocaster (Blue Agave, Rosewood Fretboard, Fender Tex-Mex p'ups; GFS Trem/Block Kit) Highland Spitfire (semi-hollow, flame maple top w/ bubinga inlay)
    Acoustics:Washburn D10CEQSB, Yamaha FG160E
    Bass: Westone Spectrum ST, Warwick Rockbass Corvette Basic Active
    Amps: Vox NT15H/V112NT Night Train, Peavey Bandit 112, Hartke HyDrive 210C Bass Amp, Vox DA5

    Well said Ross. I use my Gibson for more jazzy, or tremoloed out sweet tone, or just some nice chunky blues licks, and when I want to rip it up a bit, I grab the strat.

    I always loved the look of Gibson hollow bodies. When I finally played a few new Gibsons I was turned off by the shoddy paint jobs and poor quality control. I really wanted to like them because I was getting into playing jazz. After playing many different brands I settled on buying two Heritage guitars. The one is an Eagle that was custom ordered with a natural finish, no fretboard binding, and all black hardware with a frequensator tail piece. The other is a H 535 that was ordered with a transparent black finish. Here's the link to my hollow body page. Heritage has since gone downhill in quality as well. They are apparently restructuring right now to try to put the company back to what it once was.

    Warren, that blue finish is SWEET! Also, I like that your guitar has a whammy bar. I love playing with the one on my strat, but have to go to the pedal for whammy fun with my Gibson.:

    Warren, nice Ibanez. I have to start reading the signatures, I didn't even realize you had this guitar. How long have you owned this one?

    I am impressed with the Ibanez guitars. A much better guitar for the money than I expected.

    My next guitar is likely to be a semihollow or hollow with P90s.
