Acoustic Electric Semi-Hollow Body Kits

Our acoustic-electric guitar kits bridge the gap between acoustic warmth and electric versatility. Each kit features a semi-hollow body with a central tone block for sustain and feedback control, paired with a routed soundhole and piezo or magnetic pickup system. Plug in for amplified performance or play unplugged for practice and songwriting.

What Makes These Kits Different from Solid Body Kits?

The hollow chamber inside the body produces natural acoustic resonance that you can hear without an amplifier. A solid center block running through the body adds sustain and reduces feedback at stage volumes. The result is a guitar that sounds warm and airy at low volumes but still cuts through a band mix when plugged in.

Who Are Acoustic-Electric Kits For?

Fingerpickers, singer-songwriters, and jazz players who want acoustic character with the option to amplify. These kits are also popular with builders who want to explore semi-acoustic construction. The build process teaches you about soundhole placement, bracing, and how air volume inside the body shapes tone.

What to Expect from the Build

Assembly follows the same process as our electric kits: attach the neck, install hardware, wire the electronics, and finish the wood. The main difference is care around the soundhole area during finishing. Tape off the soundhole before applying any finish to keep the interior clean.
