i'm not really up on my epi hollowbodies, but it looks like some weird univox shenanigans or something to me. the crappy, lone picture makes me suspicious.

probably a stupid question, but is that a good price? i mean, are these worth owning?

it's the biggest town between knoxville and chattanooga. not much to see here, we have a nice record store INHERENT RECORDS that gets some good touring bands in. Chattanooga has more music going on, but last time I checked Knoxville was growing heavily in the hipster/folk type of shit. i've played at the longbranch saloon with The Dirtyworks before, which doesn't really say much lol.

i check the chattanooga and knoxville c-lists constantly. if your really trying to find something, the nashville craigslist is great if your willing to make the drive.
