is it hollow?
my drop top was hollow, and it was the icing on the cake: just picked up that extra bit of acoustic feedback from the amp

No, not hollow. I think my perfect one would be hollow, but after looking for about 3 years I wasn't about to pass it up for that.

Reminds me of my a Vintage, of course this is better made and sounds better.

Missed this thread.

I picked up the Cobra S from Guitares4you shortly after he mentioned it.

Slightly different as its solid mahogony set neck v the drop top - normally hollow with bolt on neck.

3 months down the line - and its the first and pretty much only guitar I pick up.  My strat, PRS and Suhr get teh odd play - but the Cobra does pretty much everything and is the best of the 4 feel wise as well:

wow

I've always fancied putting 3 P90s in a strat- 
Considered Kinman  SC-sized versions
My Cobra is T-shaped
I'd really like an S one
or a hardtail drop top  S shape
my trem drop top was lovely, but SSH  bothers me and I am going off trems, so I sold it

Does it  work like a strat for the in-between positions?

paulmapp8306

Yep - and theres an "add bridge" push/pull tone pot - so you get the tele in between sound as well.

Little comparison vid of my own.  Poor in comparison, and not great playing - Im rust 



hope it works

Thanks for that Paul, an excellent comparative run through.  Your TA sounds wonderful  

I did have my eye on it when Mark had it for sale, but that exceeds my expectations, nice one !

Oh and a big thanks to @allen for the original thread nice guitar too.

If either of you ever want to find a new owner for these lovely guitars, then spare me a thought, cheers

Very nice job. Congrats on the new guitar. I must say the PRS sounded good too. Playing was great.

TA sounded fantastic - really alive like my Suhr does. 
Also, it did have less "body" or "depth/beef" than the PRS and that's what I also found with my PRS vs Suhr - the PRS just cut through a lot better in the band. 
Thanks for posting!

I also think the cobra is a 24.75 scale length, not 25 as you say in the video.

Measures 25 like my Prs.

It was originally a special order so??? Might not be accurate though.. I'll have to dig out the spec sheet to be sure.
