PG contributor Tom Butwin demos three unique semi-hollow guitars from Epiphone, Rock 'N Roll Relics, and PRS. Discover the features of these versatile instruments.
Utilizing salvaged Old Growth Redwood and semi-hollow construction, the Bass VI captures a classic aesthetic and voice while delivering modern high-performance hardware and playability.
The instrument features new electronics, our Grez Multi-Tone tone pot. A single center detent control that provides a flat response at the detent, a low cut when rolled forward and a high cut when rolled back. The low-cut function is an important contributor to the versatility of any Bass VI style guitar.
With a 30” scale and weighing just 5.75lbs, it fits in a guitar size case making it incredibly travel friendly. The Halon steel bridge ensures solid intonation and the pleasing energy transfer to the body that steel imparts."
There are so many important songs of the past that used a Bass VI. I wanted to make something that would allow me to be part of that tradition in the future."

Grez Mendocino Bass VI Demo
This SH35 is designed with an arched, flamed maple top, multi-side binding, and a gloss finish available in Cherry Red and Vintage Sunburst.
At the heart of the Semi-Hollow is a lightweight and crisp-toned alder wood body featuring a comfortable modern C-shape hard maple neck, 24.72 inch (628 mm) scale length, imitation rosewood fingerboard, and bold inlays. The smooth lines and aesthetic appeal are coupled with its comfortable feel and smooth playability.
The upscale dual humbuckers provide a broad tonal range to produce crisp and warm blues and jazz tones plus the added capacity to conquer overdrive, distortion, and heavy crunch tones exceptionally well. The chrome hardware is rounded out with a Tune-O-Matic six-saddle vintage steel bridge and sealed, die-cast, and machined tuning heads, which make this an essential part of any gear collection.
The SH35 offers a lightweight body style, maple center block for solid construction, and classic styling that is meant for players and gigging musicians alike. Whether playing precisely in a studio, jamming heavy on stage, or practicing your bedroom riffs, this will be your axe of choice.
The SH35 is available for $389 in right-handed and, as always, offered in a left-handed version for $399.
