If you are interested in a smaller body size in a 335 hollowbody style that is more affordable....why not look at the Ibanez AM73:

I've been looking myself at the Ibanez Artcore series. They seem to get great reviews all around. ude:

Close but no cigar, IMHO.
I mean, what's the point, several other guitar manufacturers made similar (small bodied, semi-hollow) guitars for decades. This would be a good idea in the 70s but today it just screams "marketing". And not that good at that.

GG and tot_Ou_tard - you're killing me. I've been reading this thread and some others today and I've come to one conclusion - I cannot afford this forum GAS. I thought when I registered it was free.

Speaking as a card carrying Washburn Member (I have no idea what that means, but they sent me a membership card). I can understand your fondness for the HB. Suprisingly Washburns cheaper sister (I know, doesn't sound right) Oscar Schmidt has a nice HB called EO30 that you can probably pick up for $149.Originally Posted by Tim
I still am impressed with what I've read about that Ibanez GG posted. I recently purchased an Ibanez ARC300 and love it.
GG has a WI67PRO that is a very nice guitar. When she bought hers and posted some pics on the other forum - well, needless to say I wanted one.
I have to go take a cold shower, I'll be back.

Well actually, I'm really looking for a hollow/semi-hollow with P90s.
I'd probably prefer a full-sized body, I just thought that the new 339 seemed interesting.

If you'd like to be more versatile, there is the option of putting humbucker sized P90 on a semi-hollow guitar.Originally Posted by tot_Ou_tard

So that I can always switch between 'buckers & P90s if I wish?Originally Posted by abraxas
That's a good idea, but it does require an additional pup purchase if I want the P90s first. I'd also have to do the pup replacement, which I should learn to do, but am nervous having never sucessfully soldered a d@mned thing in my life .

Oh, don't even try to change electronics in a semi or full hollow guitar by yourself. It requires A LOT of experience and an inhuman amount of patience.Originally Posted by tot_Ou_tard
Ok, ok, I'm exaggerating a bit (but not much...).
Fact is, I've seen my guitar tech friend curse over an old Ibanez semi, and he is a very patient and sweet man... He was trying to change the pots (with push/pulls) and install a new 3-way switch.
That is the problem with semi/full hollow guitars IMO, you can't just change a switch yourself easily...

Hi tot_Ou_tard
If you're looking for a semi-hollow with P90's I can't say enough great things about the Hamer Newport. It's my current main guitar, and it's really an exceptional guitar. It has a carved spruce top, and completely hollow Mahogany body. It's got a really nice woody tone with the P90s. I love the guitar. The main issue I have is the overall sustain, but this thing really screams and has a great jazz tone also.

This is very interesting; I have a guitar player friend who is a pro, doing a lot of session work, and currently playing in a top Greek pop band. He is a zealot for good tone and had several dozen very good guitars and amps. He tells me that this was perhaps the most interesting guitar he saw for a long time.Originally Posted by jpfeifer
It's rather expensive and I regret nobody brings them to Europe for a good price; now that the Euro/Dollar exchange is so favorable, perhaps it's time. :

Yes, I've heard that it is a pain to deal with changing anything on hollows/semihollows.
The Newport is the one I drool over the most often, but it is out of my price range.
