I plan on making The next guitar I purchase a hollow body or semi-hollow body. I hear that hollow bodies tend to have feedback problems, and semi-hollow bodies have less feedback. Is this true? How do full hollow bodies sound when plugged into an amp with distortion?

I need some help measuring out the pros and cons of each guitar. Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated.

I currently have a solid body electric and an acoustic. I've been undecided on whether or not my next guitar should be electric or acoustic. So I figure I'll just get a hollow or semi-hollow body - a little taste of both worlds.

I hear that full hollow bodies sound good when you play them unplugged, and they project sound kind of like an acoustic. But do semi-hollow bodies have a noticeable difference between solid bodies when played unplugged?


Edit:

I've been doing some research. I saw someone say that their full hollow body sounded better than their acoustic when it was unplugged. That's a good thing for me, that's what I want. I hear that they're good for playing jazz and a soft B.B. King style blues when they are plugged in. But can they be used to play a loud, distorted rock n roll or metal style?
