I was recently bitten by the semi-hollow bug via Ben Eller and Phil McKnight YouTube videos. They frequently talk about the versatility of their PRS hollow-bodies. Ben Eller did a great job in his 2021 video highlighting 5 of his favorite guitars and shows the hollow-body is even great for more aggressive tones, which is where my interests are.
I already have most of my PRS bases covered DC594, SC594, Tremonti, and even a recent addition of a SC594 soapbar (AMAZING!). This group covers all of my tonal needs and I find the 594 platform to be perfect for me. The pickups are incredible. I love the neck carve and body thickness. So I fully recognize, I am in "want" territory with any additional purchases.
My recent obsession is going after a rosewood neck SC594, potentially a semi-hollow body. There seems to be a lot of love on the forums for rosewood necks though I have not yet played on one. I like the idea of the lighter weight though I am concerned about a potential trade-off with low end. How should I think about a semi-hollow vs a solid body, specifically as it applies to aggressive tones (i.e. boosted SLO or 5150)? Would a semi-hollow SC be similar in tone to a DC or is it kind of a mid-point between a SC and DC? I really hope the combined forum wisdom can help me out with another bought of GAS
