Solid guitars will never resonate at all the low frequencies that the 'bass drum skin' of a semi acoustic will ... that's why we have solid guitars ...
Dominic said: I agree, I'm always surprised by guitarists (particularly aging ones) to ignore physics science and research based evidence and retreat into superstition and shamanic bone shaking. If the Wright brothers had showed the same attitude to flight ... we'd still be taking to balloons and airships. :-)
I cite the old computer programmers maxim .... rubbish in = rubbish out ... if your guitar for example lacks treble or bottom end, you can't boost frequencies which are largely absent without loosing something: either introducing unwanted noise or causing unwanted compression or a host of other issues. It is better to start with good rather than to endlessly trying to polish a turd. :-)

Um...yes...that's why I said it
Very rarely does anyone else notice a difference in sound.
It would certainly be interesting to hear some recordings of the difference between a "dead" guitar and a "better" one.
On the whole, since I really started to put a lot of effort into technique I've become quite a cheap date in terms of what I need out of a guitar....mostly just fretwork and pickups.
