Hollow Body

This guitar is a hollow body guitar. This means that the guitar is a combination of an acoustic and an electric guitar. A hollow body has both a hollow body as well as pickups and knobs. The vibration of the string resonates in the body and on the hollow wood, after which the resonance is caught by the pickups. This results in a beautiful and unique sound; hollow body guitars have a full and bright sound. This is different from a semi-acoustic guitar, as that’s simply an acoustic guitar with an acoustic pickup, meaning the sound is solely acoustic. Due to the pickups on hollow body guitars, many different types of sound are possible. Consequently, they are also ideal for solos and riffs. Furthermore, the sound holes on hollow body guitars are usually on the sides instead of in the middle, which means the resonance will sound different as well.

5th Avenue Jumbo HB Memphis Sun

This guitar is the successor of the classic 5th Avenue but with a deeper Jumbo body which produces a deeper and warmer sound. The guitar is suitable for many genres, including jazz, blues, and rock. This is also due to the double humbuckers. These are double coil pickups which produce a fuller and tougher sound. The entire body is made of Canadian cherry for a bright sound. The guitar has a maple neck with a rosewood fretboard.
