Our new hollow body is not really a model as much as a new construction method.  The only limitations from this design are the need for a top mounted pickup ring for bridge and middle position pickups and the inability to accommodate a trem bridge.  Otherwise, it can be used with most of our configurations.  

Tonally, this design complements our longer scale length beautifully.  It adds a lot of acoustic snap and string presence and enhances the clarity even further.  Because the top is glued to both the bridge block and neck block, feedback, usually a significant issue with a hollow body, is almost completely eliminated.   And as an added plus, it brings the weight of the guitar below 6lbs making it our most comfortable Swan yet.
