lists all the Starfires as being "semi-hollowbody" among other things
Well there is an educational process at work. I used to describe my Starfire bass as a hollow body since the only alternative I knew about was solid body and it wasn't that. Then someone who liked precision in language pointed out that with a center block running the length of the body, my Starfire was not hollow but semi-hollow. Then I discovered that when you start with a solid body and carve out chunks the result is chambered, not-semi-hollow. One can only imagine how wrong the catalog would be if my younger self had been writing catalog copy for Guild
