- We will take a look at how much of a difference a guitar being hollow vs solid makes. Part 1 compared the two guitars clean and this video will compare the same guitars but with some distortion!
Being compared is a PRS SC 58 and PRS Hollowbody I. Both are similar guitars and shapes with the same PRS 57/08 pickups. Guitars are both played into a Fender Bassman Reissue (4x10) with exact same settings and mic'd with a sennheiser e609. No effects or EQ were added post production.

PRS Hollowbody I Singlecut

Nicely done. I have a hollow and semi-hollow and I find myself struggling more with the 335-style to get the distorted sound right. Now I need to buy a solid body
335s are amazing guitars but I’ve found it can be difficult to EQ them so they sit perfectly on mix. It’s obviously possible but can be challenging!
Very interesting. Yeah, I'm actually surprised how similar they sound. I thought in some of the samples the solid body actually had more low end. Like in the ACDC track you could really notice it.
Yea, listening back it's hard to hear much of a difference at all between the solid body and hollow body. The differences were still small, but I heard more of a difference when I compared the two guitars clean. I agree there doesn't seem to be that much bass in the hollow body with the higher gain (ACDC riff) setting which makes no sense :)
Hollowbody sounds great and has more character on the bluesy lesser distorted sounds
But in the harder distortion setting - the LP better
Agreed!
great video, thanks.
I'm thinking about getting one, because I feel like a solid body is less 3D than any acoustic instrument. So i'm thinking about using It when play with acoustic instruments ( I don't meant acoustic guitars )
Could not hear a difference 🤔 thanks for the Demo 👍
Haha, yea, very small difference indeed! I could hear a little bit of a difference in the room but quite subtle. You can hear more of a difference with the clean tones! Either way, thanks for listening!
