Semi-Hollow
body guitars have more natural sustain than the Hollow body guitars. This is because
there is a large block of wood running down the center of the guitar’s body, which
the bridge is bolted directly into, thus carrying the vibration of the string
into the guitar. The F-holes on these instruments are largely ornamental, and
can cause undesirable feedback in live situations. Some of these guitars now come
with a top that has no holes in it for this reason.
