Congrats, that looks awesome! :D

That is a really nice looking guitar. Any chance you'll have some audio/video clips of it?
-
That is a nice looking guitar. How does it sound?
-
Really nice!!
I hope you'll give us a "review after you've played it a couple of weeks.

I was at the local music store today exchanging my daughter's chelo for a viola. While waiting for the guy to figure out what she needed, I was looking at a really cool Hofner Semi-hollow very simuliar to this guitar. I wish I was there long enough to try it out...
-
That is pretty Sweet!
-
We need to get a demo clip of it. I wonder how it compares to its epiphone cousin?
-
the epiphone is made of plywood. this one is all maple, and has a HUGE block of maple inside to add sustain.
-
Lookin' good!!
-
aren't Gibson's plywood too?
-
A lot of hollow body guitars, including Gibsons, are plywood; only they call it laminate. It's the same thing; two or more pieces of wood glued together in a vertical stack.
Laminate just makes it sound better. ;D
Plywood makes you think of the stuff you buy in 4X8 sheets at Home Depot. No one uses that to make guitars. At least I hope they don't! :o

I believe great electronics more than make up for the composition of the wood, with exception to acoustic guitars.

Diaper - That does look like a nice purchase. It should be a very versatile guitar. Congratulations and enjoy.

Detroit – I would agree with you 100%.
-
i would agree with that only in part. you can get away with that if you remove tone from the equation by laying in lots of distortion and effects on a solid body guitar.
but if you're playing some jazz, or something with clean tones and complicated chords, great pickups and pots/caps won't make up for crappy wood.
just my opinion, ymmv

i know it's kind of an old thread, but i just wanted to say that the longer i have this guitar, the more i love the sound of it. i get pretty nice cleans from the roland cube no matter what i'm playing, but this guitar really sounds good, and the knobs are probably the most linear i have ever encountered. i can get alot of different sounds from this guitar. but it still makes me want a tube amp for the gritty side. it would be nice to play my roxbury on as well. i've pretty muched talked myself into shopping for that sometime after christmas. i really dig the sound of this guitar.

I noticed Guitar Center has the Epiphone Valve Junior Combo on sale this weekend for $79. That's 1/2 off normal pricing.
