    for goodness sake learn which is which!

    an acoustic guitar with a pick up is an electro acoustic

    a hollow bodied electric guitar..... F holes and magnetic pickups.... like a Gibson ES-335.... is a semi acoustic

    sorry, rant over, I'll go back into the room with the lovely padded walls.......

    I don't find the term 'semi-acoustic' descriptive enough.

    Much more useful are 'hollow-body" and 'semi-hollow-body' (electric), as the above does not make this important distinction.

    Long may it be that this is the only thing that gets your knickers in a twist. :D:P

    So, would this be a semi acoustic or electro acoustic?

    DeeTee100 usually followed by the word "RARE" like a dodgy knock off is somehow a prototype!
