What is the best hollow body electric guitar?
Much of this will depend on personal preference, and in particular, the type of sound you’re trying to achieve. For those who are looking for this style of instrument, but want easier handling, we recommend opting for a thin hollow body electric guitar.
The sound of a thinline design is impacted by the reduced dimensions, but proportionately when compared to full size hollow body electric guitars. You’ll still have a balance of depth, warmth and the acoustic tones this style of guitar is loved for. The design of your guitar is often an expression of personality, and that’s where colour and structure come into it. You’ll find the classic Sunburst finish from Squier alongside Epiphone’s rich Cherry hues. Our range also includes single cut hollow body electric guitars and double cut hollow body electric guitar.
The range of accessories available to support your hollow body guitar playing, from bedroom bashing to live performances, is extensive. You’ll find everything you need to bring out the best sound possible from your instrument. The comprehensive list includes:
Picks
Capos

A guitar stand is also a great purchase for storing your instrument when it’s not in use. It’s a handy accessory that can be brought to live performances and used when you’re switching out guitars, or to display your new beauty at home.
