What kind of rock? A semi-hollowbody like a Gibson ES-335 or similar is a versatile instrument that will cover everything from clean pop tones to fairly gritty, earthy blues rock sounds. It's not really suitable for very high gain music (metal etc.) because the hollow body tends to produce a less "focussed" sound than a solidbody, which will equate to "mushy" high gain sounds. The biggest problem with using a semi-hollow is that high volume or distortion, both likely to be required for a rock sound, will cause it to feed back more easily than a solidbody. This can be an advantage- Ted Nugent has used this as part of "his" sound since the 60s to get endless sustain, and it can be great if you want to create "soundscapes" rather than play hard-rockin' riffs, but it requires good left- and right-hand muting to keep the guitar from getting out of control. Some people fill the hollow cavities with newspaper or put tape over the soundholes to try to reduce feedback, but plenty of players get by fine without all that. A yes or no answer? Yes. Practice your muting (and then stop doing it during the crazy parts!), and don't expect to sound like Metallica, but yes.

∙ 15y agoA semi-hollow guitar is an Electric Guitar that incorporates acoustics within the body of the guitar. The hollow center provides an acoustic tone used for Jazz, Blues and some alternative music. The body is usually half hollow, and has a "f" shaped hole in the front of the head of the guitar. A Semi-hollow body guitar will have one of these holes, a Hollow body guitar will have 2. The more hollow the electric guitar is, the warmer the tone.
