Shhh...ancient Chinese secret :wink:




I'd be interested in seeing those as well. But seriously, after playing LP style guitars of many varieties, I like my fully hollow Bluesbird the best!

Hi everybody,

This should give you some idea what's going on in a Bluesbird body.

Hans,
Thank you, now I understand. I assume that the chambers are there primarily for weight reduction and so the guitar doesn't feel like a boat anchor like the Les Paul's. From Cypress Knees picture, I guess the Top is shaped and glued to the body.

Of course the ancient Chinese secret made sense too!! :wink:
