MB - Thanks for this exploration of a fine instrument. My CU24 has been my #1 since July of '86.*

The Hollowbody II broke new ground in portability, playability, and tonal range. You get some sweet, sweet tones from that beautiful instrument!

Congratulations on a modern classic, and play it in good health!

Awesome guitar. Maybe I missed it in the vid, but what kind of strings are they?

Well, now I want to see fender stratocaster and Gibson firebird Archtops.

Cool. I had an '86 C24 that I bought directly from Paul. The classic yellow vintage. What I never liked was that d*** "sweet switch" and no tone control. So several years ago I sold it for an *insane* amount of money and bought a new one with the blade and tone control at a fraction of the price. Then I sold THAT and bought a C24 Piezo at a price I couldn't resist, just because it wasn't marked "10 Top." Still a gorgeous flamed top, and it has the uncommon wide/thin neck carve I had been looking for. They are all awesome guitars.

It's a bucket list guitar for me. Maybe someday. The last one that popped up that I could afford was immediately snapped up and flipped. Still angry about that!

This was a very cool demo. Never new about this model. I have to say your variety of tunes was really entertaining! Thanks for posting this.
