Wow, that's stunning. What a way to introduce yourself, I'm thinking you'll fit in just fine here

Re: Hollow and Semi-Hollow guitars thread
Welcome. Green background nicely contrasts the guitar colour. The tree 'angle' (almost) matches the neck angle. Nice photo, nice guitar.
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Re: Hollow and Semi-Hollow guitars thread
I have posted photos of this guitar before, but now it has new frets, a new bone nut and new strings. I also gave it a full "Molly-Over" so it is super clean now
Pretty pleased with the setup as well, action at the 12th fret on low E is 2.34mm and on the high E is 1.34mm.

Re: Hollow and Semi-Hollow guitars thread
Been working on another Yamaha over the Christmas period and finished it yesterday after giving it a complete overhaul.
It received the following work:
All parts stripped and cleaned, new pots and wiring resoldered, new handmade vibrato bar installed, new medium jumbo frets and pickguard ironed flat. Complete body clean and polish. All setup now with 10-52 strings.

Blue pills are kind of a two birds / one stone in that respect.

Re: Hollow and Semi-Hollow guitars thread
I've always had a fascination with the PRS Hollowbody II, it was certainly my dream guitar for many years but now I'm more confused than ever

Re: Hollow and Semi-Hollow guitars thread
I’m definitely not a PRS fanboy, but I am really impressed with these…as smooth and versatile as a 335/9 but way more chimey when you want it. And really alive, acoustically, which makes it very responsive to play. Also, a lot more comfortable than a 335.
If I could only have 1 electric, it might be this.

Re: Hollow and Semi-Hollow guitars thread
Yep. McCarty 594 Hollowbody in a relatively subtle burst with chrome hardware. Preferably moons rather than birds. That would be all I'd really need.olegmcnoleg wrote: ↑Wed Jan 11, 2023 4:26 pmI’m definitely not a PRS fanboy, but I am really impressed with these…as smooth and versatile as a 335/9 but way more chimey when you want it.
