Hi All!
I've recently been in the market for a hollowbody, however I'm having trouble deciding!
The market for hollowbodys is pretty slim pickings in Australia, however I'm after some opinions on what the pros and cons would be for each of these guitars. I'm looking to get closer to a Joe Pass/Wes Montgomery sound than my tele is right now.
The first is a Heritage "Eagle", however it does not look like others that I've seen. It has Bare Knuckle P94 style pickups. $3800aud
The second is a Sumi "Hand-Made Loar-Style Guitar". Has a humbucker in the neck. It looks very much like a 175, however I'm not sure about this one as I can only find limited information about this luthier. I believe it's from Japan. $2500aud
Both guitars are all solid woods. The other option is to continue saving for a brand new Heritage 575 ($5k) or Sadowsky Jim Hall ($6k).
