Inspired by my M70 and the new X175 Special, I've been poking around to see if I could find a modern thinline hollowbody with Dearmonds and it's surprisingly difficult unless you can afford an early Starfire or Duane Eddy.
Gretsch did the very affordable G5125/6/7/8/9 (number indicates colour only) but I believe those are a good 2 3/4" deep, and the new X175 special is a full 3". The new Starfire II Dynasonic is a semi (and has a horrible stoptail bridge), as is the Dearmond Starfire Special and a few random Gretsch electromatic models with catseye soundholes from the '90s.
So can anyone think of a thinline fully hollow with Dynas/Dearmonds?
One option would be to get a NS SFIII and put a T-Armond in place of the LB1s, but then it doesn't have the look
