All this hollow body talk has caused some FOMO for me, so I recently picked up a cheap epiphone dot with a badly repaired headstock. I’ve since put a Bigsby on it and have some Duesenberg pickups ordered to replace the “wax buckers” as they are fondly referred to. As this seems like the perfect guitar to do a headstock transplant on to, Lostinverness will be atempting to splice on a Gibson shaped headstock at some stage. Anyway progress pics attached.

From the back at least, that Jazzenbacker looks like a giant guitar snake that has swallowed and is slowly digesting a Les Paul.
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.

That is proper nice. Play it slowly with 3 different reverbs on at once, and 2 different echos.

Very David Lynch.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Loving playing the HB, it’s a way better guitar than the money would suggest, nice and loud acoustically too…
