Actually those semi-hollowbodies have a tone that is a bit different and richer then the solid-bodies, which why people still play them, especially those jazz guys, who are all about tone quality. I think it might have something to do with how the hollow soundbox allows the notes to sustain nicely. You've give me some important clues. What I should really do is ask one of the professors here in the department about this question.
