The 30 Best Hollow/Semi-Hollow Body Guitars In 2024


If you have always dreamed of owning a hollow or semi-hollow guitar, now is the perfect moment to get yourself one. Semi-hollow and hollow instruments were rather popular in the fifties. Before Fender and Gibson launched their solid-body series, no one could have imagined any other type of guitar. 

Even today, these models are valuable and sought-after. As you probably know already, the body of the instrument is hollow. With semi-hollow, there is a single block of wood under the pickups and strings, but the side parts are completely hollow. 

Usually, they will have the traditional f-shaped hole, but this is not mandatory. There are plenty of different guitars you can find with this design, and here, I will go through some of the best ones you can find.

  • Pickups: Two 58/15 LT humbuckers

PRS is short for Paul Reed Smith, who established the company in 1985. Over the years, the company evolved and improved until it managed to find its own style and design. And today, we have incredible and unique guitars unlike any other on the market. 

The McCarty 594 Hollowbody II is an excellent guitar. It is one of the best hollow-body models you can find on the market, and the design is exceptional. It has traditional bird inlays, two humbuckers, and a flame maple top.

Gretsch is another huge name in the world of guitars. The company focuses on making semi-hollow and hollow guitars, and it has been around since 1883.

This model here is G6120TG Nashville, with an Orange Stain finish. It has Bigsby tremolo, a single cutaway, and two traditional f-shaped holes. The guitar is gorgeous.
