WezV Hollowbody

WezV

Back at the start of lockdown I decided to build my first guitar for a while, thanks to a few life changes preventing me building for a year or so

I didn't want to start easy. So I decided to finally make a carved hollowbody, a step towards doing a full size archtop acoustic.

I decided to go with a hybrid design.     The neck block and join is very much like a standard les paul.  The body shape and wood choices are standard les paul.... but its fully hollow, carved front and back, inside and out and its deeper.        Its all resulted in a rather nice little unique guitar.

That looks very cool = I'm a bit of a fan of the 50's ES125 styling - I like that cross over period of blues/swing/jazz/rock n roll etc - The issue with many vintage style guitars is they look cool etc but are 'backwards' when it comes to the playing experience - I have and love my PRS Hollowbody, but its biggest negative is it has no character - Your Hollowbody looks just the ticket
