Has anybody ever tried this? I've thought about the obvious possiblity of nasty feedback, does anybody know of a way to prevent this? I've been very curious about this ackward combination, I must say I want it if I could work with it. Not sure why, Haha. Anyways I used to post on here months ago under the username Mitch but I forgot my password for it and the password the email I used so that's useless. Any comments/ideas help, thanks buds!

It would apprear that Drew is making a decision based on what he THINKS would happen...I love Static-X (a metal band if you do not know) the 2nd guitar player (Tripp) uses several BC Riches as well as an EMG loaded Epiphong DOT (ES-335), he plates through a Marshall DSL 100...with a ton of gain, and he not only gets a great sound he has NO problem with feedback...now Im not gonna say that there is not a chance of feedback, in fact you will have a greater chance because the body is at least partly open, a noise gate will help (in small doses), and even stuffing the body full of foam or even covering the F holes from inside can help...and it does NOT change the tone of the guitar. Good luck buddy, let us know what happens...

If it's got a large center block, and like The Guy said stuff the inside with foam you should be cool. The object is to keep the vibration of the top of the guitar to a minimum. That is whre you get your hollow body feedback from.Comment

incidentally, that's where a lot of the tone comes from as well.
