Hollow body Guitars originated during the 19th and 20th century to produce the archtop guitars. The typical archtop guitar has a large, deep, hollow body whose form is much like that of a mandolin or violin family instrument.

Why were the first electric guitars called fry pans?

Back when acoustic guitars needed to be amplified by way of adding a microphone to its body, it only needed to amplify the sound the hollow body made. When the electric guitars were developed, they eliminated the need of a hollow body for the reverberation and implemented a "fry pan" design to amplify a signal through an outward facing metallic dish. When the pick-ups improved in technology, the need for a reverberating pan was eliminated in most of the newer electric guitars, though it is still made for the Dobro as it produces a unique tinny sound.

The hollow body of an acoustic guitar amplifies the sound, and the sound then comes out of the hole and also resonates through the guitar wood.

Actually some electrics are hollow bodied or semi hollow bodied. This is done for tonallity. Otherwise, they will still plug into an amp and play just like a regular solid body guitar would. Ibanez made the Artcore line which is hollow and Semi hollow. Fender Stratocasters, Gibson Les Pauls and SG's etc. are all solid body guitars. With the hollow body the resonance and sustain seem to improve; if you're looking to buy, go play both kinds of rigs on the same amp and see what fits your taste more!


What guitars are good for punk?

Any solid body guitar really. I wouldn't recommend any hollow body guitar or a model that feeds back as I imagine you'd want the gain high if you're playing punk. Anything with humbuckers will suit you fine, however a hollow body ca work in some cases (blink-182). Avoid big name metal brands such as B.C. Rich, Dean, and Jackson, as their guitars are build for heavier sounds then you want for punk
