Semi-Acoustic Guitars

If you are thinking of buying a semi-acoustic guitar, it means you already have clear ideas about the sound you want to achieve, and especially you are already more oriented towards certain genres rather than others. However, even in this case, there are no prescriptions or prohibitions, and there are many musicians who use a semi-acoustic in genres very different from Jazz atmospheres, one example among many can be represented by Robert Smith, leader of the Cure with his Dark, Dark-Pop genre.

Semi-acoustic guitars are mostly used for swinging in jazz or blues. They are also called archtops due to their construction technique, typical of string instruments. They have F-holes on the top, which also fascinate guitarists from other musical genres.

The semi-acoustic guitar never arrives by chance. It expresses the precise search for a softer and more velvety sound, although at times it can also be scratchy. It is the instrument of choice for a Jazz guitarist but is also very popular in genres like Blues and Fusion. Among the great guitarists who have used or continue to use it, we remember Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass, George Benson, B. B. King, Pat Metheny, and many others.

The openings that allow the sound to enter the empty soundbox bring this guitar closer to the charm of string instruments and give greater depth to the sound.
