Members pimphat22 Posted April 4, 2008 Members Share Posted April 4, 2008 Anyone got a bead on a decent semi hollow for under say $200-$250??? I know thats low but i need something in that price range or my wife is going to leave me. Seriously though...i'm on a tight budget so.... Iv'e seen the SX GG6 but i have not heard much about them so i'm kind of leary. Is there anythiong else out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GAS Man Posted April 4, 2008 Members Share Posted April 4, 2008 seems like the Epiphone Dot Studios are getting decent reviews http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Epiphone-Dot-Studio-SemiHollow-Electric-Guitar?sku=518706 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounded a little muddy to me. I suppose i could mod it a little to suit me more though. It's on my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here he is in a YouTube clip. [YOUTUBE]2iBdfZ8Z4kg[/YOUTUBE] and I guess he has two of them. [YOUTUBE]nUenJX5s86g[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dann-O Posted April 5, 2008 Members Share Posted April 5, 2008 http://www.squierguitars.com/products/search.php?partno=0301240544I picked a Vintage Modified Telecaster Thinline for 250. Sounds great has duncan designed pickups. Might not be what you were thinking of but it is a hollow body, and a great axe. I banez makes soem budget hollow bodies too. I am considering one of their 335 style guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members goth70 Posted April 5, 2008 Members Share Posted April 5, 2008 Its a no brainer. According to most people on this forum, you just look for guitars that are made in China. If its Chinese made it HAS to be good. Woo woo. Besides all semi-hollows suck ass and are ugly as {censored}. All people who play semi-hollows suck ass. Have I been rude enough? I think I'm finally getting the hang of these forums. Oh I almost forgot....no whinning just play your guitar, {censored} you etc. etc. Did I leave anything out? I'm just practicing to become a senoir member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members golias Posted April 5, 2008 Members Share Posted April 5, 2008 When it comes to a hollow-body or semi-hollow, especially when bargain hunting, I look first at workmanship. Pickups and pots can be upgraded as you grow with the guitar, but a badly-built 335 copy will always be badly built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members allthumz Posted April 5, 2008 Members Share Posted April 5, 2008 Go to: http://www.jr.com/JRProductPage.process?Product=4213814 For some reason I can't get the link function to work so copy and paste this address. Buy this guitar immediately! They have a good return policy if you don't like it. I just bought one it is the best made $179 guitar I have ever seen. I'm still dialing in the pickups but I think they will be just fine. First Act is getting their act together. You'll see why when you get this guitar.
