So i have been wondering. What is the big difference between solid bodys, and hollow. Like treys guitar, what is the tone difference. What do you guys prefer?
So Far Space.... We're at 100% Solid.....
I have played several "Hollow" body guitars. WAY back when, I owned a Kent Semi-hollow body. Needless to say that poor guitar should have been put out to pasture long before it hit my hands.... I was perhaps 10 years old....
Big difference, in my opinion, between a true hollow body and a semi-hollow body. A true Hollow body at a high volume, high gain configuration on ones amp configuration will likely produce some interesting feed-back. Some welcome, some will sterilize cats at 100 yards...
Again in my experience, the Semi-hollow body will nto produce as much feed back using the same sound config.
Solid bodies... You know those sounds already.
I have been told... Even the finish on a hollow body will make a difference in the tone of the guitar... With the constant ringing in my ears these days, it can be difficult to hear sometimes.
I go with what I know ... Solid bodies all the way. Not to say I could get all wrapped up in a "Doc" or a good (old) 335...
I would like to know others opinion...
PEACE,
Phil
