greenMonkey:
Guys, I'm picking up a used Dano U-1 re-issue this coming Wednesday for super cheap. The best part: it's in light purple finish. Pictures will be posted when I get it.

I didn't think the real Thinline Telecasters were any more slender. Just hollow.
I wouldn't call it a Thinline Tele because that's generally reserved for the '69 and '72 designs with the same name. Fender themselves market the TC-90 as their only "Other Guitar" (which is pretty weird, haha). See here:

Hollow guitars are awesome for feedback. Semi-hollows like the ES-335 are a bit more easy to get feedback with than solid bodied guitars, but the full-hollows such as the Epiphone Casino and big jazz boxes do it in a snap at pretty low volumes. I have a FuijiGen factory Japanese Epiphone Casino and it sounds fantastic. I still prefer my Fenders overall though.
Patrick:
The Gibson website talks about their CS-356 as a semi-hollow that "doesn't make it look like you're playing your daddy's guitar". I don't know, I just love that big ol' body. I think it looks pretty good on me. Then again, I'm pretty tall, so it's kindof flattering to have it on me.
Lummer:
A friend of mine is selling his Gibson SG Worn Cherry for peanuts. It'd be a damn shame to let that fall into the wrong hands.
Ballard:
Why? Does he know it's value?
