Do not dismiss these guitars!, October 21, 2007
This review is from: Deluxe Maximum Sound Hollow Body Electric Jazz Guitar in Cherry Red
I was in the market for a real thick hollowbody when I saw this guitar, and I couldn't argue with the price. Do not dismiss this guitar just becasue you may be unfamiliar with the brand. Arbor really makes a quality insturment! THough this is my first Arbor, I've played two of the hollowbodies, and they're pretty good, definatley tops for the price. I'd gladly try out their semihollow or LP style guitars.
The only downside I had was the thirty dollars I had to pay when the input fell into the body. I was not going to repair that myself! Also, my friend wanted to put a P-90 in place of the stock bridge pickup, like Eddie Cochran, but he just wasn't able to due top the pickup construction... I forget the whole reason, the bottom line was that he was unable to switch out the pickup. Ahh well. The stockpickups aren't too bad.
I've heard it said that Arbor had to stop producing these because Gretsch (owned by Fender now) planned on taking them to court. I don't know how true that is, but I will stand by Arbor. They really do make a good solid guitar at a knockout price. This is not some cheap begginer guitar. Its an affordible guitar.
