Rickenbacker Semi Hollow Guitar

This is not a Hollow-Body guitar, as listed, it's a semi-hollow. That being said, it's a great semi-hollow for the price. Probably not the best choice for a live guitar, (too much feedback), but great as a studio guitar to add a different flavor.

For small combo work with a hollow-body jazz guitar, this amp has a great clean tone and in small rooms plenty of power even at its 40 watt rating. It must be extremely efficient because I have yet to go beyond 1 on the volume.

The original case for my AS-200 might be best characterized as semi-hard shell. It creaked when you picked it up, and the cover had started to peel off in places, so when I had the 41 year-old guitar refurbished, I treated it to a new case. It fits well, and Ibanez is not exactly like other semi-hollows. It's a little big on the lower 'bout. The latches align well, and the case affords enough protection for around-town gigs. As airport luggage I'd double-box or at least wrap the guitar's headstock to prevent movement. The case is a true hard-body. The shell isn't thick but seems strong. It is deeper than it needs to be: the neck inclines as it sets in the case. My only disappointment was in B&H itself, that my particular case was clearly an open-box (tears in the plastic bag the case was in, box had been opened) and should have been sold as such. Couldn't find damage to the case itself, or I would have returned it. Maybe get this case but from another source?

I bought these mics for my semi-professional studio about a month ago. In that time i have used them on vocals, acoustic guitar, and electric guitar. They make mellow vocals warm and sultry while acoustic guitars shine. However if your recording a loud singer or heavy vocals I'd suggest something else. What first attracted me to these mics was the price. two ribbon microphones for such a low price? They must be junk. But after doing several weeks of research and talking to people that had them I decided to make the purchase. I'm so glad I did! The only downside to these mics is that they are ribbons and the user must be careful in handling them so as not to damage the coils. So avoid plosives when doing vocal takes, this is where pop-filters come in handy. Cascade Mics definitely stepped up.

Well built, and the metal end is not not hollow, so less likely to be crushed.

Works like a charm. Metal rod in umbrella is also very strong. It's not hollow.

Very compact---perfect for travel. The only downside: the hollow hexagonal shaft can crush in an umbrella clamp. Solution: glue a 2 section of wooden pencil in the end of the shaft to avoid crushing.

It worked perfectly, and it is very easy to mount on a hollow wall, at least. The perfect shelf for a projector.

I really like the semi gloss because its not too overpowering.

For the money, this is a must have for any semi-serious to serious photographer.
