When I was a kid back in the 60s-70s, semi-hollows and hollow-bodies were generally referred to this way. The theory was that you could also play them acoustically, but everyone knew it never worked in the real world.

I used to hear that term in Korea. I think it's used to refer to semi and hollow bodies.

This is my understanding of it. "Electro-acoustic" would be a 'proper' acoustic guitar with a pickup installed, "semi-acoustic" would refer to a ES335, ES5 or similar guitar.

 

I am English though, I'm sure the Americans have a different word for it :smileywink:
