Blogging Ottinger (tim)Hollowbody Guitar Samples Needed
I’m going to (eventually) get a hollowbody electric guitar. If price were no object, or I was going to keep it in a vault, I would get a gibson ES 335, but I want to take it around and play it and even let my kids play it. No four-thousand dollar guitars for me. I’m not a pro, and don’t intend to be. The 335s are for *real* musicians, not for ignorant hobbyist/fan-boy guitarists like me.
I need sample mp3/wav/ogg files for different hollowbody guitars, but it looks like the manufacturers won’t do this. It’s funny. You know that they have sampled them for sustain, tonality, intonation, playability, etc. Surely every model has seen a few blues licks and maybe a bit of shredding. You think these would be recorded, but not to my knowledge.
I would love to find samples (or post them) of these models for comparison:
- Epiphone Casino (for comparison)
- Washburn HB32 partly for its woody good looks.
- Michael Kelly Deuce Phoenix
- Schecter Corsair
- Rondo GG6
- Epiphone Dot Studio archtop.
I want a hollowbody. I just can’t decide which, and I’m not near a good guitar store.
