Hollow body guitars are a type of electric guitar characterized by their large, hollow wooden bodies. This design allows for a warm, resonant sound, making them popular in genres like jazz and blues. The body typically features f-holes, similar to those found on acoustic guitars, which enhance sound projection. These guitars often come with either single-coil or humbucker pickups, affecting their tone and versatility. Notable musicians, such as Chuck Berry and George Benson, have famously used hollow body guitars, showcasing their unique sound in various musical styles.
