The video in the next post is the sound I am getting from a solid body.
The sound cloud below is using an archtop with the same amp.Last edited by tdearn; 10-16-2014 at 01:48 PM.

This is the solid body LP but the guitar in the recordings is an archtop. Personally I prefer the archtop sound but it feeds back at gigs.Last edited by tdearn; 10-16-2014 at 01:58 PM.

Yeah there's multiple facets to the questions here ....
If you muck about with the EQ and effects you can make almost any two guitars sound alike ....
And that's one of the things I dislike about the "turn down the tone knob" approach ...
The whole point of an archtop to me is that you don't have to turn down the tone knob or muck about with the EQ to make it sound like an archtop ...
I prefer to leave the tone knob on an archtop wide open or close to it ... then you can get the rich archtop highs that just aren't there on a solid body guitar
-
Just a thought TD I don't know what settings you use on your amp but cutting the bass back on the amp will help reduce feedback.
-
Thanks. Yes I've been rolling the bass right off but stilp getting problems. I've got some foam which I need to cut to the f hole sizes.
-
You could glue the foam to a thin piece plastic or something slightly bigger than the F holes to make sure you dont push it right inside the guitar

Well thanks for the advice guys. I bit the bullet and brought a guitar yesterday. I knew that what I really wanted was a Gibson es 175 and that if I had anything else I would only have ended up paying more out at a later date so I got myself a used Gibson 175. It was up for 1749 pounds then they knocked 100 off and gave me 500 trade in on my strat so I ended up paying 1149 pounds. Its a 91 with a natural finish.

Pics?

Enjoy your "new" guitar in good health
