Semi-hollow body guitars are a type of electric guitar that feature a solid center block surrounded by a hollow body. This design allows for a warmer tone and reduced feedback compared to fully hollow body guitars. They are popular in various music genres, including jazz, blues, and rock. These guitars typically have two f-holes on the top, similar to acoustic guitars, which enhances their resonance. Notable models include the Gibson ES-335 and the Epiphone Dot. Semi-hollow body guitars are favored for their versatility, offering a blend of acoustic warmth and electric sustain.
