 | Anyone know anything about this guitar?  Does it really have a super shallow body?

 Thanks.

 | I know I'd like to have it! But I spent my guitar fund to stay away from having a Charge Card Christmas! 
 SS bowl would be sweet if you play plugged in and have to stand next to the bass player.

 | I've got the '95 1885 12-string shallowbowl and the sound is awesome. I think unplugged, it has a lot more top end chime and is perfect in a living room size area. Where it lacks is the low bass side, that the deep bowl throws out. Plugged in, you can really shake the walls with it. It carries a tune that is hard to beat IMHO    :D

 | I am assuming that this is the brother to my 1881 ssb 6 string.  As I have mentioned in previous posts, the sound is huge for a ssb and sounds fuller than some of the mid bowls I have. |

 | If I didn't already own 3- 12 strings I would try and grab this one. 
 Go for it.  :D
 
 This guitar belongs in the hands of an OFC member.   :cool:
