Bent side, full or semi-hollow, thin-line love thread; NO SLABS.

[rlrhett]

In light of the thread about whether to have a love thread for 330 and 335 type guitars, why not just start one.

I love them. I’ve made a couple. Go ahead and brag on yours!

I had a 2000's Epiphone Casino once. Traded it for an amp, that was stupid of me. Used to be everywhere for $400, now I can't even find a cherry one that's not the small body version.

I've got a Gretsch 6120 and a Fender Thinline Cabronita. The Cabronita sounds more like a slab than a semi-hollow. The Gretsch sounds hollow (because it mostly is). Still doesn't sound like a fully hollow jazzbox tho (different bracing, different woods used).

I love the 335 tone, but don't want another guitar that big, I was looking at 339s. Also the PRS hollowbodys. For a minute I was looking into the Epiphone Wildkat, but they also likely sound much more like a slab, due to their construction (like a thinline tele as opposed to a true archtop; the slab is routed out to be semi-hollow).

I traded a Gibson es-175 for a legit 1964 Fender Princeton… never regretted it. 335 was serious business, but so big, heavy, and an ergonomic nightmare. I MUCH prefer the Soloway Gosling thinline full hollow. Easier to play by far… and no dead spots like the Gibson had

They became a rarity after Peter Jackson’s Beatles documentary. It lifted their prices too.
