I was considering getting an electric guitar, and lately I’ve been looking into the Hollow Bodies.
I learned that they can tend to have horrible feedback. What does this mean? What’s feedback?
I’ve only been playing guitar for a year. So I’m kind of a beginner and I’ve only played my acoustic. I have never played an electric guitar.
So should I get a hollow body or solid body??
I have played them all and I will probably never go back to playing a solid body full time. They feedback a lot but I kind of like it and that normally only happens in a small room or on a small stage when I am too close to the amp. They weigh a lot more than most solid body guitars (although not nearly as much as a 10 pound Les Paul)
My Washburn full hollow has way more tone and sustain than most of the solid body guitars I have ever played. I can make it sound however I want without the use of effects pedals at all.
Go into a music store, play everything hanging on the wall and see which guitar feels good and sounds good to you.
I’ve said this a million times and will continue to say it. There is no right or wrong when it comes to choosing a guitar. It’s all about personal preference.
