    Here are 22 to look at. I like the looks of the Epi BB King Lucille, and the Gretsch.

    There are some even lower priced if you check around. I'm sure someone around here can tell you how they like the Epi 335 Dot!

    Washburn HB-30 Picked up mine (in gorgeous rockin cherry red no less) for $450 CDN - that's like $100 US or something

    It's everybit as good as an Epi Dot that I tried (just my opinion - don't trash me).

    Samick RL-3. It has a solid main frame and hollow wings (monoframe). It will handle higher volume before feedback than most other hollowbody guitars.

    Oh yes, T-Ross hit it dead on the spot. I have had my HB-30 for about 5 years now.

    The HB-30 (my avatar) is an excellent guitar for anything; rock, country, metal, R&B, blues and opera. I thought I would throw that last one in there for kicks.

    Really the Washburn HB series is an excellent guitar, but really shines when playing jazz.

    Thumbs up Reverend Rox!!

    My Personal favorites are the Reverend or the Ibanez, but any of those should work for you. IMO, try to stay away from larger hollow or semi-hollow bodied guitars for rock since they are prone to acoustic resonance and as a result uncontrollable feedback at loud volumes.

    ** My preemptive apologies to everyone for the large number of consecutive posts, but I needed to get around the 5 image per post minimum.

    Hey NPauly - No problem. I am enjoying going through all the links and reviewing the guitars that you posted. They will definitely help Snowblind make a decision from the different models and manufacturers. It will also be good reference for future seekers of hollow body guitars.

    You forgot this one: The Samick RL3. It has a solid center and hollow wings. Plays incredibly well and it's acoustic projection is bright and snappy with a nice full bottom.

    would you guys say that semi hollows are better for rock then hollowbodies. I just took a look at the agile harm1 and it seems interesting..http://www.rondomusic.net/harm1hc.html

    Im going today to a local guitar shop. They dont sell epiphones there so ill try a bunch of ibanez hollowbodies.

    Yes, semi-hollow is better for rock, hollow will result in uncontrollable feedback and howling at high volumes.
    And the Samick RL-3 is an excellent guitar. I had one, and a friend at work wanted it so bad he kept upping the offer until I finally sold it for almost twice what I paid for it. Fit and finish were excellent.
