Electric Guitar Body Styles

Electric guitars have come in many shapes and styles throughout their cherished history, but have ended up with three main body styles.

  • Solid Body - First made popular by Gibson’s Les Paul and SG series, solid body electric guitars are unique in that they are made from solid pieces of wood, which produce a wide variety of tones.
  • Semi-Hollow Body - Semi-Hollow bodies tend to be thinner than traditional full-hollow body electrics and feature a block of wood running through the center, giving them the ability to range from warm and harmonic tone to the biting sound of a solid body,
  • Hollow Body - Popularized in the 1930s and 1940s with the help of the Gibson ES-150, hollow body guitars can be identified with their large bodies, hollow chambers, and f-shaped sound holes.
