I only have one semi-hollow these days, a MIK Epi DOT. Sounds fantastic, great to play!

I only have one semi-hollow... This Starcaster bass that I built. It's my main player.

My primary stage guitar is my 2006 Epiphone Sheraton '64 Reissue. The body and neck were MIJ, then shipped to the Gibson factory to be finished and electronics added. The result is a great playing and sounding instrument. I've added a Fishman piezo bridge for quasi-acoustic sounds and /or a blended sound that has an acoustic sheen and sparkle. The Roland GK3 hooks up to a Roland GR30 synth for horn and keyboard sounds as well as strings like fiddle and pedal steel. The sum total of the parts of this guitar make it one versatile instrument. It's shown here with its older brother, an Epiphone Elitist Riviera 12-string, and a Blues Deluxe Reissue with a pair of JBLs installed on a Mojotone baffle.

22 years and counting; this was my main axe for a long time. Now the Tele gets more action and this only gets played on jazz gigs. And in case you are wondering, I did the relic-ing myself from playing it so much. I had a refret done about 10 years ago and the bridge has been replaced twice.

'51 ES125. My favorite guitar these days. Not all original and has a number of scuff, scrapes, and repairs, kind of like me.
Edit: Apparently I can't read. This is obviously not a semi-hollow body. Oh well.
I don't have a semi right now. I am in the process of trading some stuff for a semi, and the Gretsch semi I had ended up as part of that trade

Either my Sheraton II or my ES-335.

My Ibanez Artcore is my only semi-hollow, and my most played guitar (most played instrument, for that matter.)

I've got some nice ones but this one I play the most; a 1995 Gibson ES-135. Bought used a few years back. Some previous owner broke the original pickups taking them out and changed out the original tuners. It just feels and sounds right with the type of playing I do on it.

1979 Gretsch Country Club 7576

2018 Gretsch Tim Armstrong G5191

I have one of these babies... it's a 2010 Gibson 339, 2 tone sunburst.
Like this guitar, a beauty that really sounds fantastic!
I just sold an Epi Joe Pass that I had for 24 years. A nice guitar but I really didn't play it much in recent years.
Lastly, I picked up an Epi Century a few years ago... and once that I replaced the stock P90 pickup with a Fralin, low wind P90, a really nice guitar.
Semi Hollow's are a lot of fun!
imo.

I have a couple of old (late '60s) Gibson 335s, but lately I've been playing a Gretsch Streamliner (G2420T).

I thought about getting one of these for a back-up. Is it worth it?

If you mean VS another semi-hollow, hard for me to say. I’ve only played a Gretsch model In the similar price range (~$500) and I chose Ibanez.
If you mean quality in general, I think it’s fantastic for the price point. (Ibanez usually is, imho.) I especially like this neck, and I think the pickups sound great.

My Rickenbacker 360 six string. Lots of jangle, but it rocks damn good, too.
