Hollowbody Guitar
what would you recommend for a good blues guitar?
OTHER THAN A FENDER STRAT. im looking for a good blues guitar to buy around christmas time. i was thinking maybe the Epiphone B.B. King Lucille because it has an amazing and rich sound and im interested in a hollowbody. for around $700-$1000, what do you recommend?
I like Gibson 335s or similar, Telecaster is great for certain sounds, but really, I'd recommend you take you sweet time and sit in the guitar rooms and spend time holding, playing and really getting the feel for the tone and what style fits to your body comfort. Blues is blues, can be played on a cigar box, a stick and catgut, so lol, just take your time choosing. That's part of the fun of the hunt! See what folks are playing in the clubs, etc.
But one hollow body electric is really nice to have. Wish I'd never sold my old Ibenez. I forgot the model # but it was that big blond George Benson style. I have shoulder pain issues and it was awfully heavy.
I'd go for what you like, research reviews of any potential purchases and root out the best deals. Try to swing for a few freebies (a stand, a strap, a set of strings). Never hurts to negotiate! Good luck!
