Do you have a semi?

antifash

I'm thinking that I’ve not had a nice semi in my life. I don’t want to have to import a European or Japanese semi. I’d like to feel it in my hands first. I know there’s plenty of semis about on the FB, and as it’s Christmas maybe someone would like to fill my stocking. 

  

Obvious candidates are 333 / 335 ideally with a Bigsby, but I will consider others.

Surely for Chilis only a White Falcon will do?

That's no semi. That's a full-on, throbbing, massive hollow body

I'm nursing a semi right now.

Three, in fact...

@TommyVercetti It is acceptable but hollowbody ruins the gag a bit.

So, couple of Hondo 335 copies and a Japanese Riviera in natural (the old 80s Noel-Bowl model). The Riviera is VERY good but I'm also into getting a natural or walnut 333 or 335. Something about 335s just do it for me...

see, a semi is what you get on your way to a white falcon

@simonhpieman I concur. No photos required. I can imagine.

I have a Gretsch Panther I was thinking of selling.

I've never actually found a really nice 335. Tried a few - closest i got to actually buying one was a 335 government but it wasn't exactly a traditional 335... Do love a semi, an old korean epiphone dot is a wonderful thing though, i actually preferred mine to the 2016 gibson offerings.

Gretsch definitely a good shout. Collings?

@bodhi Looks nice. Will have a listen to samples.

Having trouble reading on this small screen: does @FelineGuitars make those?
