Initial Tone report:
Once you get past the looks, this beauty has got the sweetest of tones. I'm not sure which
I like more, the massive low end that sounds like a grand piano, or the crisp highs that
chime like bells in the warm summer breeze.
Enough of that...the vintagey flavor of the Lollars work real well with the semi-hollow
body. This is a serious jazz/blues guitar right here. It might have a hard time handling
the heavier stuff, but it can't be beat through a tubescreamer into a Fender or Vox rig.
The ebony board is perfect for helping the highend stay focused and tight.
I love this one
Enjoy it Jamie...aloha! |
