Looks and sounds much like the PRS McCarty hollowbody, no ?

Seems quite a bit warmer than the PRS, and possibly sonically smoother. Quite a nice instrument.

I think so..warmer sound and it is full hollow.

I've played a PRS McCarty Hollowbody for about 4 years at ca. 100 or 120 gigs (pit band) and can attest to it's very versatile sound. It is an extremely light weight guitar (fully hollow except for a small post underneath the bridge studs, the size of a pack of cigarettes), very resonant and capable of putting out a warm jazz tone as well as full-out overdriven Rock/Fusion type sounds. It lacks in character though but maybe it's the pickups that come with that model. The wide/fat neck shape was comfortable and I would have kept it if I didn't have to finance an expensive acoustic guitar at the time.
The way Sierra picks her guitar makes it difficult for me to get a true sense of it's potential. I have a pretty strong pick attack and really make my guitars sing - therefor I like a slightly stiffer string and action on most of my instruments.
