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' take on the fully hollow, thinline electric, drawing inspiration from legendary models like the Epiphone Casino and Gibson ES-330, depending on how you look at it. It’s a classic formula, reimagined with a modern builder’s eye for feel, tone, and balance.

Guitarists from John Lennon to Grant Green to Paul Weller have shown just how versatile this style of guitar can be, and the Hollowbird lives in that same wide-open space. Whether you're playing rock, blues, jazz, or Americana, this guitar slots in effortlessly.

The fully hollow, laminate maple body gives the Hollowbird a focused, midrange-forward tone that’s punchy and warm, with plenty of acoustic liveliness. It’s just as inspiring unplugged as it is through a clean amp - or, yes, even pushing a cranked 50-watt Marshall (seriously. We did this on a session not long ago and for certain controlled feedback parts it's unbeatable). It’s the kind of guitar that surprises you with how much ground it can cover.

And the feel? Effortless. It’s lightweight, well-balanced, and super comfortable for long sessions - on stage, in the studio, or just winding down on the couch. The neck profile, attention to detail, and overall vibe strike a perfect middle ground: familiar like a vintage Gibson, but with the finesse and clarity some players associate with brands like Collings. It’s no wonder we’ve heard customers describe it as “the best of both worlds.”

The Hollowbird is more than a nod to a classic - it’s a fresh, soulful take on a proven platform. Whether you’re gigging every night or just want something that makes you want to pick up and play more often, this guitar delivers.
