This isn't mine, but I thought you might appreciate the photo: - it's Schireson's top-of-the-line Hollywood model:



A big step up from the all-birch cheapo models such as the SS Maxwell in the post above. Lots of inlays, fancy binding, mahogany body...but still that same inefficient Schireson cone:





I guess you can say they sound "interesting" in a mellow kind of way, but they don't have anything resembling the volume and power of a National. I have only played a couple of them, but the ones I've had in my hands did not strike me as particularly toneful resonator instruments.
