Josh Williams Guitars Hollowbird Vintage Cherry

Blame years of gigging - and maybe a certain British invasion band - for our weakness for Casino and ES-330-style guitars.

The Hollowbird is Josh Williams’ soulful spin on the fully hollow thinline. Inspired by the Casino and ES-330 but built with a modern player’s touch, it delivers everything we love about those classics - feel, tone, and balance - without the quirks that hold them back.

From Lennon’s raw rhythm to Grant Green’s smooth lines to Paul Weller’s punch, this style of guitar has proven it can live anywhere. The Hollowbird carries that same versatility: rock, blues, jazz, Americana - it just fits.

The laminate maple body gives it a focused, mid-forward voice that’s warm, punchy, and alive. Play it unplugged and it rings with acoustic resonance; plug it into anything from a clean combo to a raging Marshall and it responds with character (we’ve tested the feedback tones ourselves - they’re magic).

And the feel? Effortless. It’s light, balanced, and comfortable enough for hours of stage time or late-night couch sessions. The neck hits the sweet spot between vintage Gibson familiarity and Collings-style refinement, making it one of those guitars you instantly trust in your hands.

The Hollowbird isn’t just a nod to the past. It’s a fresh, soulful re-imagining of a proven design, built to inspire you to play more, write more, and fall in love with your instrument every time you pick it up.
