silly question, no experience with them cept they look amazing in pix.
I always thought they were chambered and had huge voids to get from the pickup cavity to the selector switch and volume/tone nob cavity, since the back is one laminate with no access to the cavities. someone please explain.
1. are they chambered.?I see them over 9 pounds and listed as solid body and heavier than other solid body LP's
2. is there a big ass hole from the pickup cavities to get to the selector switch and nob cavity? |

There's no access to the cavities? that seems like a really stupid, inconvenient idea. |

Unless they Changed the jack socket you are not soldering anything through the stock hole. I'm using my AFD for reference. |

They cost so damn much that I wouldn't ever know, as I'd never touch one! There's more important stuff to buy, like a new car, TV, or stereo. |

I already have a new car, two huge tv's, bose surround sound, a stereo and a new house and all that. I dont think i can justify buying one though . the two I have been looking at are 3500 and 4k. who knows. I'm only in tire kicking mode right now anyways. Ill probably make a few long distant drives to play a few before I make the decision to part with money. my mood changes from day to day. |

We must be on the same G.A.S plain or something! I've been considering a Supreme and/or LP too, and had the same questions.
I get different answers on the tone...some say it sounds like a hollow body and other say it sounds close to an LP....another argument on tone...go figure.
As for cost? I've been watching eBay for months and most I have seen go for around $2,400 - $2,600 ish.
oh, and Tom...a car maybe....but a TV, stereo more important than a new guitfiddle??? lol |

Hmmm... these are great guitars. Just because they are hollow does not mean that they lacks tone. Ever play a Martin acoustic? It does not take much wood to get good tone, resonance is the key with these and they have a ton of it |
