The Aristocrat M-75 is hollow, the Aristocrat HH and P-90 are chambered and the later have no feedback issues like a solid body. I can‘t speak for the NS M-75 but my 1971 M-75 is very similar to a semi hollow with feedback reactionI have an Epiphone Casino, so not sure if a chambered model, e.g. the Aristocrat would also have feedback issues?
According to the Guild website, the BB is chambered, but I think this is for weight reasons, rather than sonic characteristicsThe reissue BB is about a 1/2" wider than an LP, but the LP is 1/2" deeper. The BB is a solid body. If you want chambered, look at the Aristocrat HH model.
I agree. I just bought a new Fender (sorry to mention a competitor) Ultra Luxe HSS Floyd Rose Strat in Mystic Black (to keep up my black image). It is going to take me time to get use to the feel of the compound radius neck and smaller radius fretboard (I believe my Guild has a 12 inch radius neck). My Bluesbird will be with me for the rest of my life especially because it is American Made as is this model of Fender. The Guild fits my body perfectly.Nice. These are great guitars and especially cool in black.
I think the BB is chambered at the top and bottom third that can be seen when removing the electronics cover on the back. It has a solid core that I believe is the neck that runs through the body. It runs down the center third of the instrument. It’s isn’t routed for the volume and tone controls like other solid bodies. This is why Ithink the top and bottom thirds are hollow.According to the Guild website, the BB is chambered, but I think this is for weight reasons, rather than sonic characteristics
I agree with you. The block through the center appears to be part of the neck that runs through the center third. You can see this when removing the rear plate for the Volume and Tone controls. The block down the center is as deep as the neck and is very clean without an router cuts caused by the router blades.According to the Guild website, the BB is chambered, but I think this is for weight reasons, rather than sonic characteristics
