The first thirty years of rock were the best in my opinion, and I think in most of yours. The early years there was a lot of use of semi-hollow electric guitars, like the Memphis Jazz made by Glen Burton Guitars.
Many of the bands had a distinctive sound, a sound that was identifiable just to them. The Beatles were at the top of the list, mot only were they first when it came to their electric guitars and bass guitar sound they were one of the first with outstanding vocal harmonies not heard since the late fifties with The Everly Brothers. Another distinctive band was Pink Floyd. Their electric guitar sound was and still is like no other, it’s like they were dropped off from another planet.
There are many people out there who would like you to believe that the only electric guitars out there are made by Fender and Gibson, well I’m here to say that just ins’t so.

The guitar that mostly comes to mind is the acoustic guitars, that’s the one with the big sound hole in the middle of it. Many people don’t know these guitars can also be purchased electrified, meaning they are equipped so they can be played through a guitar amplifier or just by themselves.
Jazz guitars like the ones made by Glen Burton guitars are another way to get away from that conventional twangy rock sound. These electric guitars can be identified by their “F” holes. These guitars are also called semi-hollow electric guitars because some are completely hollow and some have a solid block of wood down the center of the guitar.

Hollow body electric guitars are in other words called semi-acoustic guitars. Don’t confuse this guitar with an electric acoustic guitar they are not the same.
Electric acoustic guitars are acoustic guitars with microphones to amplify the vibration, they can be identified by the large sound hole. A hollow body guitar is a guitar that has electronic pick-ups just like a solid body guitar along with a sound box like an acoustic guitar. With this type of guitar you can get a tone that you can’t get from a solid body electric guitar.
You might recognize these guitars by their familiar “F” holes in the body like the Memphis Jazz guitar made by Glen Burton Guitars. Although they can be played alone they are meant to be played electronically, through a guitar amplifier. When playing a hollow body guitar you must pay attention to the volume, they are prone towards feedback because of the “F” holes teamed with the electronic pick-ups.

I have been playing bass guitars for mor than forty years, maybe that is why I do so many blogs about the bass.
I have played cheap bass guitars as well as expensive ones, and I like them all equally. I prefer the jazz style bass guitar but do switch off to the precision style at times. I sometimes have been known to play my Beatle bass knock off made by Glen Burton Guitars which is an exact copy of the one used by Paul McCartney. I like it because it has a softer sound because it is built on a hollow body and is extremely light weight. I also use a hollow body bass guitar, much like the ES series jazz guitars made by Gibson.

If you are not familiar with a jazz guitar, they are the electric guitars with the “F” holes like the Chicago Jazz guitar made by Glen Burton guitars, instead of the large sound hole like acoustic guitars have. They generally have a large sound box that contributes to the rich sound that can’t be achieved with the familiar twang of an electric guitar.
