Hollow body electric guitar electric
A hollow body electric guitar is an electric guitar with a hollow body in contrast to solid body electric guitars. This is not the same as an electric acoustic guitar, which is an acoustic guitar with the addition of pickups or other means of amplification, either added by the manufacturer or the player.
Hollow body electric guitars are further classified into arch-top and thinline guitars.
Generally, hollow body electric guitars are usually lighter than a solid body guitar of comparative size because its body mass is reduced as a result of the addition of sound chambers. However, they face problems in high-gain amplification, as the sound chambers also induces unsavory feedback.
A few of the most famous manufacturers include Gibson, D’Angelico, Gretsch, Epiphone, Rickenbacker and Ibanez.
There are many well-known hollow body electric guitars. a few examples would be:
- The Gibson L5
- The Gibson ES-335 actually semi-hollow electric guitar, similar in appearance to hollow body Gibson ES-330
- The Ibanez Artcore Series Hollowbody guitar line
- The Gretsch White Falcon Electric Guitar
- The Rickenbacker 300 series
- The Epiphone Les Paul Ultra model
