What are semi hollow body electric guitars?
Semi hollow body electric guitars are a type of guitar that is characterized by having a hollow body with a resonance chamber, but also with electric pickups that amplify the sound. In this way, a sound is achieved that is warmer and richer in harmonics than that of solid electric guitars, but also more powerful and defined than that of acoustic guitars. Semi hollow body guitars were popularized in the '50s and '60s by artists like Chuck Berry, B.B. King or The Beatles.
How to choose a semi hollow body electric guitar?
When buying a semi hollow body electric guitar, you have to take into account several factors such as budget, level, personal taste and the use that is going to be given to it. Some tips to choose well are:
