True.
I think you'd have to give as much credit to Brian Setzer as Eddie Cochran for the way people associate big hollow bodies with Rockabilly.

Half the guitars that guy has ever owned have been stolen. 
Lot of beautiful guitars though.
It's true, the originals were recorded with solid bodies through very small amps, but as the sound evolved it has been perfected with hollow bodies and slap-back delays.

I think using hollowbodys for rockabilly is much more about the look than the sound.

I think that a lot of the sound people associate with rockabilly can pretty much be duplicated with any electric and a single (100 millisecond or so) echo and a touch of delay or reverb. Funny enough, but I can actually get a decent rockabilly tone from my cheap Vox mini 3 (set to Fender Blackface or AC15) pretty easily and it sounds just fine with my LP P90 or my tele...

I want one of each of every guitar in that video.

Agreed. It’s amazing what a little reverb or delay can do for a clean tone, especially one of the digital units that simulates analog tape with a little gain.

I totally agree, but my budget is forcing me to think more along the lines of the 5420. I'm trying to decide between the black 5420T, and the FSR 5420T in Smoke Green finish. The black is classic, but the Smoke Green goes between a cream color and a slightly green tint, depending on the lighting.
