Does anyone have an idea about what I was wondering earlier about the difference between the LP with the F-holes and the XV500? What is the difference in sound and sustain? Thanks.

Members ermghoti II Posted November 14, 2008 Members Share Posted November 14, 2008 It's a tough call. Generally, a semi-hollow will be a bit middier, more resonant, a bit less bright, and sustain a bit less than a solid body. However, with the solid tops, these are almost more like a chambered guitar with F holes, so the difference would be pretty subtle. I just got mine, other than being surprisingly loud unplugged, I'd say the P90s have a lot more to do with its sound than the construction.

Members the new guy Posted November 15, 2008 Author Members Share Posted November 15, 2008 Crap. I'm not sure I want a burst now... When I started this thread, I was set on ordering the Black one. Now after seeing all the pic's, I'm torn between the Black and the Tobacco-burst. or maybe the Natural............... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Chill Mike D Posted November 16, 2008 Members Share Posted November 16, 2008 God that tobacco burst looks great. I need to get one of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ermghoti II Posted November 17, 2008 Members Share Posted November 17, 2008 In my own opinion, this is a closer representation of the honeyburst, especially along the right (treble) side. Although, a darker exposure does show the figuring better... It's what I would consider a cherry sunburst, without a trace of the dreaded "clownburst" garishness. A nice, warmish cherry. Edit: I just noticed, this angle makes it look like the quilt vacations on the bass side. Not so. It's a carved 3/4" top, the grain is very 3D, and flutters to the point of lying flat at some angles.
