I currently have a homebrew "chambered" USACG tele and a stock 1971 Fedner Tele. Of course, there are some differences with pickups, wood, hardware, etc....but all things being equal, they both sound like teles, they both sound good, yet the chambered tele has a warmth and open-ness to it that the solid 71 does not have. It's not just me, my wife can hear it also. She can tell what guitar I'm playing when she's out of the room by the tone. I really dig the 71, but the chambered just kills! This may be my own partiallity to semi's and I may be blowing smoke out my arse...but I ( at least I like to think I can ) can hear and feel a difference between a solid & semi.
