Hollow Body vs. Solid Body Guitars- Perks and Downfalls.

Before we get into our discussion of modern instruments I think it is important to learn about some basic guitar facts. First off today (as you can see in the title) we will be discussing the difference between a hollow body and solid body guitar. A hollow body, the older of the two, is a guitar which, you guessed it, has a hollowed body. These guitars can be played like an acoustic instrument or, if they have pickups, can be plugged in. The effect of this is a bassy, warm, acoustic tone. Many players in the 40s, 50, and up until today tend to be drawn towards these jazzy tones. The downside to a hollow body guitar is the sonic feedback. With a resonant body cavity, high volumes can cause a loud feedback loop which is extremely unpleasant to the ears. The way the issue of feedback was fixed is through the solid body guitar. These guitars are made of a solid slab or pieces of wood with no resonant space. This means you can crank the volume up much louder than a hollow body guitar. The downside to some about this is that the tone of the guitar feels more sharp and intense. Most of my posts on here will follow the change from hollow to solid body (unless otherwise requested)

There’s really no question as to why this uber-rare Jesselli Solid Body guitar made it to the top of our weekly Top 10 Used Guitar list!  With a body carved from cherry, quartersawn rock maple neck, two custom wound pickups with leather covers and a 5-way switch, and knobs to match the Indian rosewood fretboard, this instrument has certainly piqued our interest!

Brand New Classroom (Luka)

SG Standard (1997-2012)

Logo on headstock says it's Gibson and not an SG copy. The colour looks very similar to the 1987-1989 SG Elite in 'Metallic Sunrise' but the Luka has a batwing pick guard and chrome hardware as opposed to gold. Luka's guitar has a custom paint job as that model of guitar was not made in pink.

That thing is not plugged in though.

My Own Way Of Being Cool!

Epiphone '58 Korina Flying V (1998-2013) - cardboard replica

The white circle in the bottom right screams original Gibson Flying V as well as tone/volume knob placements. The pickups look different though and a 1959 Gibson Flying V is too rare+expensive to fuck with that kinda thing imo so Epiphone reissue.

There's a les paul and a pink precision bass in the background.

Electric Guitars

An electric guitar could even be a guitar that needs external amplification so on be heard at typical performance volumes, unlike a typical guitar (however combinations of the 2 - a semi-acoustic guitar and an electrical guitar exist.) It uses one or more pickups to convert the vibration of its strings into electrical signals, which ultimately are reproduced as sound by loudspeakers. The sound is usually shaped or electronically altered to know different timbres or tonal qualities on the amplifier settings or the knobs on the guitar from that of an guitar. Often, this is often often often done through the utilization of effects like reverb, distortion and "overdrive"; the latter is taken into account to be a key element of electrical blues guitar music and rock guitar playing. guitar design and construction varies greatly within the shape of the body and thus the configuration of the neck, bridge, and pickups. Guitars may have a troublesome and fast bridge or a spring-loaded hinged bridge, which lets players "bend" the pitch of notes or chords up or down, or perform vibrato effects. The sound of an electrical guitar are often modified by new playing techniques like string bending, tapping, and hammering-on, using audio feedback, or slide guitar playing. Unlike acoustic guitars, solid-body electric guitars haven't any vibrating soundboard to amplify string vibration. Instead, solid-body instruments depend upon electric pickups (microphones) and an amplifier (or amp) and speaker. The solid body ensures that the amplified sound reproduces the string vibration alone, thus avoiding the wolf tones and unwanted feedback related to amplified acoustic guitars. These guitars are generally made from hardwood covered with a hard polymer finish, often polyester or lacquer. In large production facilities, the wood is stored for 3 to 6 months during a wood-drying kiln before being move shape. Premium custom-built guitars are frequently made with much older, hand-selected wood.
