Help naman guys...

Recently got a Yamaha SA-500 (indonesia made) and I googled that it is a FULL HOLLOW body guitar. Would it be right if I use drive pedals for it (I have a Boss SD1, OD2 and joyo UD in my setup)? I use them at low gain settings individually but I tend to combine them for a more beefy-sounding drive. But I'm worried that the guitar is not meant for gain/OD pedals

and you hollow body might think I'm stupid for doing so

.

your thoughts?

pics! how much sir?

no pics yet. (i dont even know how to put one up here. hehe.) it was a white one, cream binding(body & neck), chrome hardware, very basic look IMO. got it for around 6 grand. regular price was around 12k. kind of a steal deal. i was actually deciding between that and a tele. knowing i wont easily find a cheap used 335 copy, i went for it. i'm actually trying to make up my mind if i should change the hardware into gold or black ones. i guess i should change the PUPs first. any suggestions? i'd like one that can be split. is it even practical/possible on a semi?

Would you treat full hollow body guitars as acoustic guitars? Straight to amp lang ba talaga sila dapat?

I think you can use overdrive/distortion on low gain settings sa full hollow. Think of The Beatles with their Epiphone Casinos. Hindi naman siguro necessarily na straight to amp lang ang mga full hollow. You can use other pedals naman like delay, reverb, etc. Gaya ng ginagawa ng mga rockabilly players with their full hollow Gretsch for reference.

im pretty sure they have guitar pickups in those so plug them to any pedals or guitar amp. if it's piezo equip, then treat it as an acoustic, use a preamp or plug it in an acoustic amp

Pinagiisipan ko din to before, if i'l, go with this or the sheraton II(though the GF chose the shera and i can't say anything about it since it's her gift to me hehehe). same reason din "ala-whitefalcon" kasi eh hehehe

Bro try Tonerider rebel 90 sa neck or any p90 voiced pickup then get an orange drop capacitor, and a bone nut , then rewire it to vintage 50s hihi
