Hollow Body Electric Guitars Make Sweet Music
Hollow body electric guitar is also called semi acoustic guitar. It consists of more than one electric pickups and a sound box. It is not similar to any other electric guitar, which has other amplification added by player or the manufacturer. This instrument is primarily designed with amplifier. The sound box is specifically used to produce amplified sound which is not possible by any other solid instruments. The other acoustic and semi-acoustic electric instruments are mandolins and bases. The construction of these guitars is similar to other semi-acoustic electric guitars and has the same limitations as semi-acoustic guitars and are used in the same way as acoustic guitars.
Some guitars are border line between solid body and hollow body electric guitars. Telecaster guitars fall under this category. Some of the guitars have complete hollow body, while others may have solid centre. Hollow body guitars produce richer tone when compared to solid body. An amplifier can be connected to semi-acoustic guitars for a louder sound. This sound cannot be produced by an ordinary guitar. Hollow body electric guitars are considered as ever green and are the favorite guitars for jazz players and band troops.
Gibson, Rickenbacker and Gretsch are one of the top most manufacturers of these types of guitars. In the recent years several manufacturers are producing different new models of these guitars but they cannot beat the top brands listed. No matters how many new guitar models enter into the market the reputation of the top manufacturers of hollow body electric guitars stands on their own merit and is demonstrated by high consumer demand.
When comparing solid body guitars with others, they are heavier in weight than semi-acoustic guitars. In hollow guitars additional chambers are utilized to produce loud sounds and the size of the body is also reduced. There is, however, a negative point about these guitars and that is that they face problems in conditions of high gain amplification. In this situation the sound chambers produces undesireable feedback.
Semi-acoustic guitars consist of pickups which are similar to electric guitars. They have an empty body that helps in producing unique sounds. Electric acoustic, semi acoustic and hollow body are interchangeable terms used for electric guitars. Acoustic guitars consists of pickups where as electric guitars consists of sound chamber. Acoustic electrics and electric acoustics are considered as electric guitars designed with piezoelectric transducers, electromagnetic pickups or condenser microphones. Electric acoustic guitars will not fall under either category of semi-acoustic or hollow body electric guitars. They are entirely unique from these two guitars. Semi-acoustic guitars consist of solid block within.
The most important thing to bear in mind when looking for a hollow body electric guitar is to stick with the most popular manufacturers who have stood the test of time. After all, they’ve been around awhile for a reason!
