Members Alchemist Posted December 18, 2007 Members Share Posted December 18, 2007 Is it really such a bad thing?? Shouldnt the bottomline be how the instrument plays and sounds..... ...back in the day before forums became commonplace, I, as well as many others looked favourably on chambered instruments, for one they were lighter, and it was usually seen as an upgraded feature....

Members _pete_ Posted December 18, 2007 Author Members Share Posted December 18, 2007 I never said it was bad. After all, 'Les' is more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ID_Ghost Posted December 18, 2007 Members Share Posted December 18, 2007 Solid bodies should be just that..NOT hollowed out..I like heavy solid feelingguitars, some do not and that is ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Alchemist Posted December 18, 2007 Members Share Posted December 18, 2007 I never said it was bad.After all, 'Les' is more. never said YOU did, but it does seem to be the general argument on forums that people use against Gibson.... so I dont know if its an actual sentiment or just people looking for another reason to Gibson bash.... and now probably PRS...

Members minus9 Posted December 18, 2007 Members Share Posted December 18, 2007 .....and? A lot of guitars have chambered bodies. If they are advertising them as solid and non-chambered, then that would be a problem. Otherwise, it's not exactly shocking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members revontulet Posted December 18, 2007 Members Share Posted December 18, 2007 When did Gibson start chambering their guitars? I'm pretty sure mine is a '99 or a '00 and it feels pretty damn solid... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem I had with it was that Gibson has been doing it on LP's for at least a year and never mentioned it or touted it as a feature until the X-ray pic started circulating on the web. A quick look at the PRS website has no mention of weight relief or chambering either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members _pete_ Posted December 18, 2007 Author Members Share Posted December 18, 2007 That's what irks Exactly.I have no problem with the chambering but if I were to spend $2K + on a guitar I think they should let me know what I would be getting.

Members _pete_ Posted December 18, 2007 Author Members Share Posted December 18, 2007 This was just posted on TGP: * On the PRS website, the product videos on each product page say that the 245 and the 250 are weight relieved. Theyre not hiding anything. * It was also in the press release for the new models before they hit the shops. * Every interview/review ive seen about the new SC's has stated in black & white that the 245s and 250s (and chris hendersons) are weight relieved. * The new tremonti tremelo isnt. * "Pre-lawsuit" singlecuts arent. PRS started getting a lot of bad feedback from dealers saying the guitars were too heavy and were putting a lot of people off. PRS himself didnt want to do it but as a strong supply of lightweight mahogany is no longer available, its the only option without changing tonewoods completely. * The pictures floating around on the other thread show two PRS's. The one with the slot routes is a 245 and is the same routing pattern as a 250 give or take a few mm's due to the stoptail positioning. The second picture with the large chambers is the limited run of semi-hollow singlecuts which are made as Orville Gibson intended hollowbodies to be made from the start My faith in PRS has been restored.

Members RaVenCAD Posted December 19, 2007 Members Share Posted December 19, 2007 You know what the real rub is? What pisses me off the most about this is that not one single person would have complained if those x-rays hadn't shown up. Before that, those were awesome guitars. Now, they're less desirable. Lemmings, gotta love em.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ID_Ghost Posted December 19, 2007 Members Share Posted December 19, 2007 I did not need an Xray to see that the VM was "Hollow" I knew from the time I picked it up it was a POS not to mention the sharp frets, neck heavybad build quality all around, sent it back tried another ..same crapthe VM is NOT a solid body guitar as advertised, it is however an over pricedGibson, some like the VM, more power to them, like I stated beforeI like solid well built guitars not cheaply built ones like the VM.

Members guitarcapo Posted December 19, 2007 Members Share Posted December 19, 2007 I think chambered guitars are great as long as the pickups are appropriate to avoid a boomy bottom heavy sound. I bet P-90's sound great in that kind of guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
