Semi Acoustic & Hollowbody Guitars

Semi Acoustic Guitars combine the natural resonance of an acoustic & the pickups of an electric guitar to create balanced, warm tones with great playability. Know for their smooth sounds, hollowbody guitars are perfect for jazz and blues.

The most recognisable hollowbody guitar is the Rickenbacker. It has a wide body with non-traditional f-holes which produces a full, rich sound once favoured by John Lennon.

Gretsch Semi-Acoustic Guitars became popular in the '50s and '60s, and their archtop models are still used to play Rock'n'Roll and Rockabilly styles. The Epiphone Dot have notable players including Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age) and Tom DeLonge (blink-182) with his Epiphone Tom Delonge ES-333.
