The semi hollow/hollowbody/jazzbox thread

[sonnyrayvaughn]

mas mahal talaga sa europe... pag flame top tas near mint cond pwede na yan, lalo na pag natural ang color

thanks Phil and Doc..

the color is tobacco sunburst, flame top sya i think.. has some dings in it, but it still is in very good condish.

[grasyaps]

i just love the tone. cant wait to get mine crystalized. and change the gauge. 13 hurts.

Some re-hashed pics from other threads "re-assembled" here....

Hollowbodies:
'59 Gretsch 6120

I love this gretsch...there's a junior gretsch available on musician's friend..around 250 USD...parang ang sarap patulan...ganda nung tobacco sunburst niya...

Here's my contribution...action shots...hehehe...walang iba eh

This is a Hamer Echotone

[abyssinianson]

here is mine: a vintage Ibanez George Benson jazzbox strung with flats.


Thinkin' about getting a Gibson ES-335 in tobacco burst...but everyone seems to only stock cherry red and natural finish Es axes.

yep - just the type I am lookin' for but, for the life of me, no one stocks one that I could try out and buy. I put an order in for one last week and it still hasn't arrived at the store. bah.

My Ibanez Artcore AF86.

[big monkey]

my epiphone emperor jazzbox. tried different strings but this fat lady sings best with roundwounds 13's. was able to acquire a kent armstrong floating hb. who would be the best guy to set it up? also want to have a custom finger rest made out of kamagong or rosewood.

[wannabeguitarist]

OT: mga sirs...I just got an Ibanez AS75...may bigsby sya...originally naka 11s na strings, then magpapalitdapat ako, so tinangal ko lahat ng strings then nilinis before ko kabitan ng 10s na strings...ang problem ko ngayon, masyadong mataas yung tremolo arm... pano ba ayusin to para mabalik sa dating baba yung tremolo arm using 10s na strings..kailangan ko bang mag palit ng spring? newbie lang kasi ako sa ganitong klaseng guitar e...thanks!

[mahavishnu]

the new artcores caught my eye, they feature spalted and burly maple and cocobolo. do you guys think they're solid or laminated?







here's some detailed pics of the spalted artcore

[cacophony]

ano ba pinagkaiba ng soli at laminated?

[rukero]

Wow! Ang gaganda ng Custom Artcore Ltd.!

Available na ba yan sa Audiophile sir?

Mine is AS83 violin sunburst.  Perfect intonation when I got it.  I'm happy with the sound but wouldn't mind having another one...ganda talaga ng AS103BM-ABR.

walang solid top na gitara ang ibanez, maski ung mga sinature guitars laminated lahat un.

gibson l5,l4,super 400 at mga d'angelico new yorker lang ang mga solid top.

mas responsive acoustically ang solid top kesa sa laminate. For me, it's like the difference of a transistor amp to tube amp. you have to hear it for yourself.
solid top ung akin, compare mo ung sound ng gitara ko sa mga ibanez demo:

i beg to differ but its not an absolute fact that ibanez doesnt have solid top hollowbody guitars. the 1977 ibanez 2470 is solid carved top.
most current production 335 even gibsons are laminated. i was just wondering if these "limited run artcores" could be an exception, thats my angle.
generally solid top construction have better tone and resonance (i still dream of benedetto). i just wouldnt handle them roughly.

wala akong alam s history ng ibanez ang sinasabi ko ung ngayon, pagnakahanap ka ng soilid top na ibanez sa mga music store sabihin mo sa kin. thanks
