Thanks for replying, the guy who taught me to play guitar had a few guitars and would play different ones during different lesions. One day he found an ES 335 at a local music store, grabbed a couple guitars for trade and some cash and got the ES 335. I can't say it made him play any better, but what he played sounded way different coming out if it. It's partly what made me want the Hagstrom HJ-500 I bought. Sometimes when your looking for a sound, it just takes a hollow body to get it.
Thanks...
