Wilkat "Hampshire Edition" ArchTop Semi-Acoustic Guitar:

Are you a nuts about semi-hollow bodies? If so, this guitar is for you! Built upon special request for Robert Hampshire (his dream guitar), but you can have one too. It's based upon a style made popular by many great guitarists over the years (e.g the late great Chet Atkins), and features the stunningly beautiful and eye-catching orange stained finish that is favoured by so many (actual colour is nicer than shown -- photos never capture the real shades and beauty!).

The body is hollowed out from solid laminated maple with an arched laminated spruce top and an arched flamed maple back, providing traditional good looks and great sound. The neck is a bolt - on (that's right! bolt - on) to allow for maximum adjustment capability, and better access past the 12th fret. Complete with a two way adjustable truss rod. (See full specifications below)
