Josh Williams Guitars Hollowbird Royal Tan/Relic Worn

If you’ve spent any time with fully hollow, P-90-loaded guitars, you know what makes them addictive. There’s an airiness and immediacy that’s hard to replicate. The laminate maple body keeps things focused and midrange-forward - punchy, warm, and lively - with just enough acoustic resonance to make it inspiring even before you plug in.

Through a clean amp, it’s articulate and open. Push it, and it compresses and blooms in that familiar, controllable way. (And yes - it absolutely holds its own into a cranked British amp when you want that edge-of-feedback thing. It’s a blast.)

What really stands out, though, is the feel. It’s lightweight, balanced, and easy to live with. The neck lands in that sweet spot - substantial enough to feel vintage-inspired, but refined and precise in a way that feels distinctly modern. Familiar, but elevated.

This isn’t just a nod to the classics. It’s a thoughtfully built, deeply playable take on a proven platform - and in this Royal Tan / white guard combo, it feels uniquely its own.

If you’re the kind of player who gravitates toward fully hollow electrics for their touch sensitivity and dynamic range, this one’s worth your attention.
