I have owned and played ES-175s and L-4 CES guitars extensively. My amps are usually driven a bit much more than the hollow bodies like. About 25 years ago I went from the hollow body 175s and L-4 CES to the semi hollow 335s and Howard Roberts Fusion that have center blocks. I still love my Les Pauls, Strats, and SGs, but feel that a 335/semi hollow body style is perhaps the most versatile electric platform out there. Players from rock and blues to jazz and Motown all used them.
