But basically it's a solid body guitar where the body is hollowed out and then it has a
top on it.
And this guitar, there's a top and a back, so if there was no back or top I could put
my hand right through it.
And the bracing of the guitar goes like two little I-beams that run down the center of the guitar.
And no part of the top, except from behind the bridge, touches the wood that's on the
inside on the front or the back.
So it's pretty [Abm] flexible and [B] it has [Eb]
that kind of more hollow [C] characteristic to the sound
which I like.

[Em] [Abm] [Gb] [F]
[G] [C] [Eb] When you've got a hollow guitar it actually slows down, [Gbm] it [B] kind of [Gbm] slows down [F] some of
the attack, it doesn't slow down the initial attack, it slows down everything else so it
becomes more dynamic, [Ab] you can play a note softer and [C] even with a distorted sound and
still get that kind of [F] dynamic [A]
quality to it.
And that's how I first became aware of Karvin and I was always convinced of the quality
of their stuff and most people think, well if it's less expensive it's not as good, but
in actual fact, if by the time you've bought a guitar from a factory that's got a name
on it, by the time it's gone from the manufacturer to the wholesaler to the retail to the store,
that guitar's like going to cost a fraction of what it takes to make one of these say,
and yet this will come in, you know, a lot better quality for a lot less money.
And they're really great people, really great products, proud to be associated with them.
It's definitely been a wonderful experience for me.
Thank you guys!
