QUESTION: Why Semi-Hollow?

ANSWER: Because they offer a unique sound and feel that no other construction method can deliver. Guitar players love the remarkably warm tone of semi-hollow body guitars and often describe them as having good resonance, rich and complex overtones, and a woody sound. Semi-hollow body guitars are relatively light weight guitars (compared to solid body guitars) due to the hollowed out areas of the guitar body. Another benefit to semi-hollow body guitar design is the increased acoustic volume of the guitar itself. The increased acoustic volume makes it easier for you to hear what you're playing when not plugged in to an amplifier. Semi-hollow body Halo guitars are ideal for certain music styles, such as jazz and rockabilly. They are not ideal for high-gain amp settings because they tend to produce unwanted feedback under those conditions.

You guys need to do a covenant semi-hollow :)

Jeff Lee 06/15/2015 12:04

Okay. We'll add it. Thanks, Josh!

Jeff Lee 06/17/2015 13:12

The Covenant Semi-Hollow has been added.

With the semi-hollowbodies, does the back of the guitar retain a control cavity like with solidbodies? I hope so, as it makes service/changing pickups a lot easier. Thanks!

Jeff Lee 07/06/2015 10:24

We're glad to build it with a control cavity on the back upon request, but we normally keep the backs in tact and route the pots and wires through the F-Hole.

im seriously considering on of the covenant semihollows .. but that f hole ( tele style) is butt ugly can you add a more normal looking f hole or can i request one? similar to your es style model? and it would be nice if i could get them on both sides..

Jeff Lee 07/20/2015 17:21

We'd be glad to build your guitar with two F-Holes in shapes that you find attractive. Just let us know in the order's "special instructions". Thanks!
