A Hollow Body Electric Guitar is the Loudest

If its loud music that you are wanting to produce then you can't go past a semi-acoustic guitar - otherwise known as a hollow body electric guitar.
This guitar has proven to be the most popular guitar used by big band guitarists and well as jazz musicians since its inception.
This is because this guitar is capable of producing a fuller and richer tone than most solid bodied electric guitars.
A hollow body electric guitar is also capable of being connected to an amplifier which means they can be played at a much louder volume than can simple acoustic models.
Another important difference this guitar has in comparison to an electric acoustic guitar is that is has a sound box and one or more electric pick-ups.
The hollow body electric guitar is in fact more often the instrument designed primarily to be used with an amplifier and the sound box is used primarily to produce an amplified tone not obtainable with a solid body one.
Weight is another advantage.
It is generally lighter than its solid body counterpart of similar size simply because it has less body mass as a result of the addition of sound chambers.
Some makes of the hollow body electric guitar have a full hollow body whilst others have a solid center block running the length and depth of its body.
It can be difficult at times to distinguish between this and the solid body electric guitar as (for example) some makes have chambers built in to an otherwise solid body to enrich the sound.
Exactly where the line is drawn between a constructed sound box and a solid wooden body that also affects the sound is left open to debate among the musicians.
