Bright Guitars Grizzly

It is completely hollow with a braced top and back, and bent sides, just like an acoustic. The neck block is a solid piece from the headstock all the way to the bridge, where it ends beneath the saddles. This holds the strings firmly, essentially as a neck-through, and allows the top to resonate freely past the bridge. More like an acoustic with pickups than an electric with acoustic properties. The sides are 2 5/8" wide at the end block.

I would definitely take it down off the wall at a music store. I would be very curious about it's sound. How much I like it would all depend on what I heard.
 
I'm not sure what kind of guitar could legitimately be called a Grizzly, but it definitely wouldn't be some pasty-faced hollow body with an awkward f-hole.
 
Awkward f-hole is awkward.

Other than that, I kind of like it.
I would definitely like to play it, and would try it out at the store.
 
After Tralfaz's comment about the awkward f-hole, I do have to say that the f-hole it so narrow, changing electronics would be a major challenge.
 
I'm sure it's a great guitar. For me, aesthetically, the lines are just a little off, and it's a bit on the boring side. I'll pass, but it'll make someone very happy I'm sure.
 
If there is a solid block from the neck through the back of the bridge it is not completely hollow 'just like an acoustic'. It does look interesting though.
