Fred Gretsch meets Bill Collings... And the results are simply amazing! What a knocked out Collings this is! We custom ordered this almost a year ago. We had TV Jones Filtertrons and Filtertron Plus pickups in installed on the guitar we also spec'd out a Bigsby on this baby. What a knockout! Built in Austin, Texas!

That is a gorgeous guitar. Is it semi-hollow or hollow? I would guess semi-hollow with the Gibson control layout.

She's semi-hollow. It's actually pretty interesting how they do it. The back, sides, and center block are actually carved from one big block of mahogany. No plywood or lamination here! Once "carved out", the top is then installed. This is why nothing sounds like a Collings SoCo or I35.
