I'm a pretty big guy, so I'm actually looking for something big. I have a good chromatic tuner, so I'm not that worried about getting one that doesn't stay in tune really well. But how badly do you think it would come out of tune? If I cant even play the thing 'cause it won't stay in tune long enough to do so, then **** that. I just really love the looks of the one I posted. I know, looks aren't everything. If I want to play something with high gain, I can just use my solid body.

And another reason I want a full-hollow body is because they sound good when played unplugged. I played a Epiphone Dot semi-hollow unplugged yesterday and it sounded a little better than an unplugged solid body, not much, though; but I did like it. I don't really like my acoustic, but I like to play acoustic. However, I don't want to buy another acoustic. Volume can be a problem for me, I can't always plug in and play loud.

So, I think a full hollow solves my volume problem. I can play it unplugged and it'll still sound pretty good, and I can plug it in when I want. This is the main reason that a full-hollow sounds good to me. But if they really don't project much sound acoustically, then I'll probably go with a semi-hollow.

I'm still going to consider a semi-hollow. I need to play the two and see how I feel then.

What do ya'll think about this one?
