The Affinity Starcaster DLX is a seriously fun semi-hollow. It’s surprisingly well-built for the price, with a decent amount of character thanks to those ceramic pickups. This is a great option for gigging musicians or players who want a semi-hollow vibe without the premium price tag.

Frequently Asked Questions
It's less resonant and 'open' than a full hollowbody due to the centre block, but still retains a good amount of warmth and airiness.
They'll handle it, but the semi-hollow body might feed back at higher gain levels; careful amp settings are essential.
It's a fairly standard 'C' profile – not overly thick, but not too thin either; most players with larger hands should find it manageable.
