THE "ONE AND ONLY" PLYWOOD SEMI-HOLLOW ELECTRICHMS Vanguard

HMS Vanguard was inspired by the famous Danelectro Masonite guitars. This is also a semi-hollow design, but the main difference is the use of Baltic Birch plywood instead of Masonite. There’s also the Deluxe version, with solid wood on top and in the back. I’d define the plywood version as more ”working class” compared to the solid wood, ”tuxedo” version but the decision is yours. You know what suites your own playing style.
