This guitar is something quite special. It has a shadow acoustic pick up, an option of mono or stereo near the jack and an extra a array of tones that make it have an acoustic or electric vibe 8)

I'd just go for a semi-hollow body guitar. Which leads me to ask, why call it a solid body? It's body doubles as a pool for roaches.

I want as many different tones. Luckily in life you don't have to choose between either...just get both!

I don't get the roaches thing?

I'm just saying the swimming pool of a body this chambered LP is, is equivalent to what a big Texas cockroach would use for swimming while staying at a roach motel.

sounds good, i wonder what the pickups are, it would be silly to buy a guitar like that and then find you need to chage the pups becuase they are too muddy or something :?
