I think everybody knows this thread. Show off your hollowness, your gas for all things hollow!
Bow before the mighty f hole!

Let's start out with the icon of holy hollowness, the White Falcon.

I like the way they play, but I'm not a fan of the bling. White Falcon, No. Silver Falcon, Yes.

Here's my contribution - my G5191 Tim Armstrong Model (basically a reissue of the Baldwin Era Country Club)

Hells yeah. We devoted a lot of bandwidth to that guitar.
I like what somebody did to this one.

I was actually thinking of doing that exact same thing down the road. It looks like they drilled a new hole for the jack though... I'd do a replacement bridge pin jack like a lot of acoustics have.

On my recordingfest entry it's worked quite well. Needed very little EQ and when I played the same song through the same set-up at the same distance my dread sounded tubby and unclear. That hurt a little bit. :embarrassed:
 
Everyone needs a hollow guitar, Mark. Keep watching this thread and it won't be long.
One of my favorites, the good ole ES-125.

They're fun! They have great, dark and smooth jazzy and rockabilly tones, and if you know how to deal with the feedback, have this wonderful throaty sound to them, when you crank the gain.

If you guys are interested, I have a few clips of my old Gretsch Country Club at high gain, on my Soundclick page. I can post links to them.
 
Gibson Howard Roberts Fusion Mark 1. One of my faves - I wish I'd never gotten rid of mine back in 1999. It was my main guitar for several years. But, I was over a barrel moneywise.

Mine was a tobbaco sunburst 1980 model, and looked just like the one above, except for the fact that whoever owned it before me, took off the pickguard, and the pickup covers.
