Vela - semi vs solid body?

[László]

+1 for Semi !! In my 25 years as a luthier, I've found one simple rule to be consistent .. the more air in the body , the more air in the sound.

Sometimes you want that airy sound. Sometimes not, because the low mids are a bit different with a solid body. There are trade-offs either way. Good to have both!

Like Less said just get both
But seriously if i had to choose, I would get the semi-hollow first then get the solid LOL

One of the reasons I like semi-hollow and hollowbodys is for the light weight but that's definitly not an issue with the solid-body Vela's. I need to get one someday.

I hope to see dealer runs of the vela…but not semihollow. Just the regular. I haven’t seen that in a long time.
