Damn that thing looks beautiful. AND you made me spend the last 20 minutes looking up the Mosrite/Acoustic Black Widow Spiders. Talk about an elusive guitar!

I like the yellow Mosrite double neck waaaaaaay more. This is probably of no surprise to anyone.

The 355 is semi-hollow the same as the 335 and 345. The only deviation in the line was the completely hollow 330 (which is what the Epiphone Casino was). I'm sure theres no solid Es-3XX because it would be a heavier, muddier, more unwieldy les Paul standard if they did. The BB King Lucille 345 has no f-holes but it is still semi hollow with a center block.

Bam, the Gibson 335-S. It's an ugly fucker too.

Travis Bean did it better. I really like they way the look. I would own one if they all didn't run over $1,000.

That's what came to my mind when I saw the pics at the top. Looks like a Travis Bean, but not quite as nice.

Still pretty awesome though.

Love the travis bean guitars.

I'm not really digging the tokai though.
