Hollowbody 2 Center Block

[fgeorge097]

Anybody have one of these HB2's with a Center Block from the 25th anniversary lineup?

Can you comment on how it handles feedback at high gain settings vs. a non-center block hollowbody, like the current production models? What observations in general are there about this model vs. the non-center block hollowbody 2?

I'm gonna be a bit vague, because my memory has faded on this, but:

My understanding is that all HBs have been made that way since then. The earlier models still had some form of center block, but it wasn't as "robust" as the 25th anniv, and that "improvement" has remained through today's production models.

There are some threads here about this topic, I think Shawn from PRS posted about it. Lemme see if I can find them...

Ah, here it is:
