Hollowbody Guitars

[AsphaltMK]

does anyone here own a hollowbody guitar? I suddenly have this wierd interest in hollowbody guitars.... but, i need opinions.... how do owners here find them?

i heard tt they feedback like crazy

 

[hifi_killer]

they dont feedback like crazy. at least for the ones i tried. i love the echoy ambient effect the hollow body gives. On distortion it sounds damn bright and melow
listen to foo fighters - best of you, you'll get what i mean.

issnt the es335 a semi-hollow ?

 

[dhalif]

still hollow.. lol even if you play a full bodied hollow guitar its still cool!!!!!!!!! even cooler with f holes..

the 335 is semi hollow cuz the center part with the pickups is a solid block, the wings are the parts that are hollow.

Played my friends Tokai 335 copy, had a very nice airy tone very sweet and the quality is quite good.

They tend to feedback when u play with a quite a bit of gain bt still pretty cool tones.

I don't find hollowbody guitars good for playing hi gain rock stuff... reason being they don't keep as quiet as solidbodies. The feedback can be an issue if you have monitors on stage and you are going at hi volume/gain.

On the other hand, its always great to have their warm tones... for jazz esp.

You'll be surprised Reverend guitars are hollow bodies and there's no wood under the pickup. They're quiet and no feedback problems at all. Pity you didn't have a chance to try them out when you visited me.

But what's the purpose of doing high gain on hollow body in the first place?

If the intention is to play high gain, there's many other more suitable guitar out there. That's the reason hollow body guitars comes with low output pickups by default.

nebo my friend gt it 2nd hand from this guy. He was thinking of getting from ishbashi bt he found a local guy selling and bought it off him better that way i guess at least u can try it b4 u buy.

I have this thing abt not tryign the guitar before buying, you might not liek how it sounds or feel to you. Even 2 guitars of the same make and brand can feel different so buying online can be a hit miss kind of thing.

Haha me too. I'm like a girl when it comes to shopping for gear. Must try everything in the shop first.
