Hi Steve.

The middle stem(?) that the pickups sit on is still solid, and goes all the way from the back to the neck, that and the fact the lids and sides are so thick means it doesn't have much of the characteristics of an acoustic. But they do have more sound unplugged, and I'd like to think that some of that resonance is projected into the electric sound. However, I think that depends on the pickups. While the Tux sounds like it does, the 90s Thinline does not. Since all of my teles have different pickups, it is hard to tell, since the pickups probably account for more of the differences than the bodies...

Both of mine also have more sustain than my solid body ones, but again I don't know if that can be attributed to the body being semi hollow.

But the cool factor is high!
