Do semi acoustic guitars sound like acoustics or electrics?

Semi acoustics are firmly in the electric guitar family. They are strung with electric strings and designed to be plugged into an amp. They have a slightly different tone than solid body electrics but definitely in the same ballpark.

Can you play a semi acoustic guitar without an amp?

You can, in the same way you can play a solid body electric guitar without an amp. It just doesn’t sound like much. To really enjoy the rich tone of semi acoustic guitars, you need to plug them into an amp.

Can you play a hollow body guitar acoustically?

You can and some old-school archtop guitars are built to be played acoustically, without even having pickups. Really though, most modern hollow body guitars are meant to be plugged into an amp.

What is a semi acoustic guitar?

A semi acoustic guitar is a guitar with hollow areas in its body as part of the construction. A Gibson ES-335, for example, is a semi acoustic guitar. The name is something of a misnomer: they do not operate in any real way as acoustic instruments, though they may coincidentally be slightly louder when played unplugged than their solid body counterparts. The semi acoustic nature of the guitars is intended to change the 'plugged' sound of the car, easing some of the focus and introducing a more open sound.
