There are many benefits of a hollow body in an Electric Guitar. The hollow body of the electric guitar acts as a sound box, therefore, the sound is louder and clearer.
It's a hollow body electric guitar.
A hollow body guitar is a guitar with a hollow body in contrast to solid body guitars. They are generally lighter that solid body guitars because its body mass is reduced as a result of the addition of sound chambers.
"Hollow body" is one possible type of eletric guitar or bass. The other two being "semi-hollow" or "solid". As a hollow body the electric guitar or bass resembles the acoustic guitar most closely and the early electric guitars used this method of constructions, but were soon replaced with solid constructions, since those are less prone to feeback and the hollow body is no longer required to produce the sound of the instrument. It doesn't rely on the wooden sounding body anymore, but the vibration is detected directly at the chord, electrically transmitted and then amplified outside of the actual instrument. In sum a hollow body base can be used for all the same purposes as a solid bass guitar. Only handling may differ slightly.
On an electric guitar, what you are hearing are the strings vibrating; on an acoustic, this effect is carried around the hollow cavity in the guitar, which is then channeled out of the sound hole, it is this effect that gives an acoustic guitar so much more output than a strictly electric guitar.
If the guitar is in very good or better condition. It is probably worth about $300 to $350.

Yes, there are solid, hollow and semi-hollow body types of electric guitars.
apparently not much of a difference. since the body is semi-hollow it implicitly means an electric guitar like the Gibson es-335 or an epiphone sheraton. in an electric guitar the f-holes apparently have little or no effect unlike a hollow guitar where the holes project the sound. in an electric guitar the f-holes are considered primarily decorative in nature.
I would just say let the acoustic guitar be, and buy a hollow-body electric guitar.
No, an acoustic guitar is one not dependent on an external device to be heard but uses a soundboard which is a wooden piece mounted on the front of the guitar's body, while electric guitars can have solid, semi-hollow, or hollow bodies, and produce little sound without amplification
An acoustic that still has one or more pick ups. A semi acoustic (semi electric) guitar has a hollow body and can be played as an acoustic guitar but it also has one or more pickups which means that it can be played through an amplifier as an electric guitar.
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. That's why the quality of the wood in the guitar is important. Electric guitars don't have a hole or a hollow body, because they are amplified by electricity.

Acoustic guitar is what it says acoustic, none electric makes the sound from the guitar body/chamber. Acoustic/electric or electro acoustic look the same as an acoustic but have a pic-up fitted inside the body to link to an amplifier. A Semi acoustic guitar looks more like an electric guitar but with a hollow body or chambered body with pick-ups mounted on the sound board of the guitar.

The first electric guitar was made by Rickenbacker in 1931. It was a hollow body acoustic. While one of the first "modern" solid body electric guitars was made by Les Paul.
