They do not have the acoustic overtones added to an electric sound like an ES335 or ES339, and yet they don't sound totally solid either. I'd have to say there are a lot of other types of guitars I'd like to have in the arsenal before I went with something like this.
Why wouldn't a carved, solid-wood top generate stronger overtones than a bent, plywood one?
