Hollow Body

This guitar is a hollow body guitar. This means that the guitar is a combination of an acoustic and an electric guitar. A hollow body has both a hollow body as well as pickups and knobs. The vibration of the string resonates in the body and on the hollow wood, after which the resonance is caught by the pickups. This results in a beautiful and unique sound; hollow body guitars have a full and bright sound. This is different from a semi-acoustic guitar, as that’s simply an acoustic guitar with an acoustic pickup, meaning the sound is solely acoustic. Due to the pickups on hollow body guitars, many different types of sound are possible. Consequently, they are also ideal for solos and riffs. Furthermore, the sound holes on hollow body guitars are usually on the sides instead of in the middle, which means the resonance will sound different as well.

The 5th Avenue Uptown Custom Havana Brown

The 5^th Avenue Uptown Custom Havana Brown is a unique guitar, not only because of its captivating appearance but also because of its unique pickup configuration. The guitar has a P90 in the neck and a humbucker in the bridge. This is a rare combination but it sounds fantastic. The P90 will sound a little sharper and brighter, ideal for more articulation and noticeability, whereas the humbucker sounds a little deeper, warmer, and fuller. The combination of these two will result in a full yet sharp sound. The guitar's body is made of Canadian wild cherry, which is sustainable and produces a warm sound with great sustain. The guitar has a maple neck and a Richlite fretboard. Richlite is a synthetic alternative for tonewood that is more sustainable for the environment and your instrument's quality. It feels just like authentic tonewood but it doesn’t have to be maintained.
