This started out as an Arbor, which according to a probably debunked internet legend, were leftover Gretsch guitars after Fender bought the rights to manufacture and distribute them. it is basically the same body shape as a Gretsch Streamliner 5120- I picked it up for $200 and the pickups, even though I ditched them, were better than the mud buckers that come on the real thing. after a fret level, sanding the bridge base and changing just about everything but the body, it's a fantastic guitar!
i've since swapped the Bigsby B6 for a B7 to increase the break angle on the bridge; the pickups are Porter PAF-sized Filtertrons. I was going to flip it, but I think I'll keep it instead.

Re: Archtop/hollowbody Recommendations
I had a character come by yesterday to possibly buy an amp from me, he decided to lowball me instead but he was a nice enough guy and we played guitars for a while.
I can tell you that I fell in love with my ES-330 all over again.

Back in those days, everyone knew that if you were talking about Destiny's Child, you were talking about Beyonce, LaTavia, LeToya, and Larry.

Re: Archtop/hollowbody Recommendations
I would love a 330 one day. So many cool guitars, not enough money or time to make money to buy them all.
