Members kayd_mon Posted June 19, 2012 Members Share Posted June 19, 2012 I haven't seen that, either. Kind of like the Chet Atkins "solidbody" acoustic they made, but with Les Paul fanciness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jkater Posted June 19, 2012 Members Share Posted June 19, 2012 Solidbody with piezo. Close but not quite an acoustic guitar. Nice nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Edward Posted June 19, 2012 Members Share Posted June 19, 2012 Mn.... I can see it as a concept, but no doubt it'll turn out to be an over-priced lifestyle accessory.... An Epiphone version in a solid colour might have more appeal, but only if I was regularly playing "acoustic" gigs where I needed something that wouldn't feedback. Could be cool for a rockabilly rhythm sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members photon9 Posted June 19, 2012 Members Share Posted June 19, 2012 Aesthetically it looks great, almost futuristic. The idea would work better as a variax, than a solidbody w/piezo but that would inevitably be completely slagged and shunned by the multitudes of guitar purists.

Members lz4005 Posted June 19, 2012 Members Share Posted June 19, 2012 They sold those briefly a while back (maybe 10 years ago?). It's hard to tell in those photos, but the bridge is integral to the top, sort of a hump that protrudes from the body with a slot in it for the saddle. They were crazy expensive. List was somewhere around $5k if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dogsinotpalc Posted June 19, 2012 Members Share Posted June 19, 2012 Have these been re-released or something? These are at least a few years old and came and went with a whimper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bluesnapper Posted June 19, 2012 Members Share Posted June 19, 2012 My friend's got the Tele version - it's absolutely amazing - having a neck pickup as well as the piezo makes it much more versatile. MIJ I think - was very expensive. (not my pic - borrowed from tdpri) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
