IIRC, the story of Peter Frampton’s famous “lost and found” 54 Les Paul started with a hollow body. He couldn’t get enough volume out of it at The Fillmore without it feeding back, so a fan lent him the Les Paul and wouldn’t take it back.

Maggots: The Record is the fourth and the last studio album by American rock singer Wendy O. Williams and her band Plasmatics, released on February 18, 1987.
@historyofpunkrock a weird one for sure. Only six songs, well actually five, with the dialog between. Thrash Metal. Even though I like the W.O.W. albums this is a nice return to the more intense punk/thrash. Still unique musically.
