No. The Electric Guitar is made from different wood that does not sound as good as the wood an acoustic guitar is made of.
----------------- Incorrect. "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'", for example, had an acoustic part played on an Epiphone Emperor. And many woods used in acoustic-guitar manufacturing -- rosewood, mahogany, maple -- are also used to make electric Guitars. That said, it's true that many hollow-bodied guitars were not intended to make a loud acoustic sound. Some of them are "thinlines" -- with small, shallow bodies that add to playing comfort, but take away from acoustic projection. Some, such as the ES-335, aren't completely hollow, but are "semi-hollow" guitars with a solid wood center block, which also takes away from acoustic projection. However, many hollowbody electric guitars, such as the Gretsch 6120 and the Gibson Super 400, are large and hollow enough that they have quite good acoustic projection. Stringing them with thicker strings would also improve the acoustic tone. The Taylor T5 is a good example of a hybrid guitar that can be played both acoustically and electrically.

∙ 12y agoTry messing around with your selector switch so that it picks up the bridge more than the neck. Also turn down the tone knob on the guitar itself. Fiddle with the amp to enhance the richer sound you'll get. You can also buy effect pedals (I have a Digitech that has an acoustic emulator...sounds pretty close to a hollow).

Hell yes you can. My guita has this thing called a coil tap which splits the humbuckers so you can play only using the single coils. using only the back single coil and the right tone adjustments you can make it sound more like a hollow body than a hollow body does. (i have an ESP M-200fm with ESP-EMG LH-301 pickups sp its pretty high powered and the 12" neck radius makes it feel like an acoustic when I'm playing clean riffs.)

∙ 9y agoYes, semi hallow guitars have strong acoustics. However, their acoustic properties are not stronger than a full hollow body guitar.

∙ 15y agoYes they can. The sound will not be as pleasing, but they can be played unplugged.

∙ 14y agoYes it can have a hollow body - usually with a centre block or the like. Semi-acoustic guitars.
