Archtops/Hollowbodies
Was: Plugged in or unplugged. If it's arched, this is the place
Now: Starfires, A150, T50, T100, X160, X170, X175, X180, X350, X500, X700, Artist Awards, and the like
Edit: Simplified to: Starfires, A150, T50, T100, X170, X350, X500, X700, Artist Awards, and the like
Solid/Chambered
Was: Wired for sound & ready to rock
Now: S100, S300, M75, M80, Bluesbirds, Nightbirds, Nightingales, T-Birds, Aristocrats, and all solidbody electric guitars
Yes, I know some models defy placement, but in my mind a guitar like the Nightingale fits better in the same catagory as the Nightbird. And yes, I know there's an argument to be made for the Nightbird to be in Archtops, but IMO people who come looking for information about those two models are going to naturally gravitate towards the more "blues/rock" Solid/Chambered forum over the more "Jazz" Archtop/Hollowbodies forum. While I'm always up for a game of semantics, my primary goal is to help people find what they're looking for.
Feel free to share your thoughts if you want to change my mind, but in talking it over with the mods this seems to be the logical way to go.
