Members Wulver Posted November 22, 2011 Members Share Posted November 22, 2011 This guy does That'd be a semi-hollow, bro. I'd certainly like to bring some RAWK on a hollowbody, but alas I only have a semi-hollow myself. I adore the idea of getting myself an ES-175 or something Byrdland-ish in the future, though, the feedback you can get out of those things is absolutely amazing.

Members wrongnote85 Posted November 22, 2011 Members Share Posted November 22, 2011 you have given me an idea for my new death metal band. full on hollow body guitars, twin reverbs, and a metal zone or some equally crappy metal stompbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Surrealistic Posted November 22, 2011 Members Share Posted November 22, 2011 I used my hollow-bodied Gretsch 5124 on this one (although a Yamaha SG1000 joins in at about 1 minute in): http://www.soundclick.com/player/single_player.cfm?songid=10850558&q=hi&newref=1 Gratuitous guitar porn: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Faber Posted November 22, 2011 Members Share Posted November 22, 2011 Would a Hamer newport qualify? It's fully hollow but small. Those Phat Cats sure can rock Not my pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Baddass Posted November 22, 2011 Members Share Posted November 22, 2011 I've been using a ES 137 lately. Finally found that sweet spot for a little controlled feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members foppy Posted November 22, 2011 Members Share Posted November 22, 2011 If rockabilly counts as rock and roll-- don't see how it wouldn't-- I do, as do Brian Setzer, Jim Heath, Paul Pigat, Darrel Higham, and practically anybody else who plays that genre.

Members Mel Cooley Posted November 22, 2011 Members Share Posted November 22, 2011 Many Gretsches have a trestle brace against the top which make them much more controllable at high volume than a stock Gibson. Many people who play fully hollow guitars at absurd volumes stuff them with rags, foam, etc. to keep the tops from vibrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GAS Man Posted November 22, 2011 Members Share Posted November 22, 2011 I use my Epiphone WildKat for that tone. Please nobody tell me it's not hollow body because I know it's simply big chambered, but my point being, I think that tone is the one thing I've found where the WK excels. I have a BS Gretsch 6120 but it's not out for play as often as the WK. They are worth trying if you want that sort of tone on the cheap. Something about the way they are built and the voicing of its P-90s usually makes me think "Cat Scratch Fevah" Here's a good clip of one in action (for the tone of a hollow body rockin - from a WK) [video=youtube;LWlPyONZ8R8] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
