Hmmm.

A hollowbody is going to feedback. That's what makes it a hollowbody. With that said, all electric guitars feedback. Sometimes this is a great thing and sometimes it's an awful thing.

I must admit that I'm not that experienced with Hollowbodies in the live setting. I'd say there are a few things that immediately come to mind when dealing with squeeling guitars.

#1 A lot of this is in the hands. Properly muting strings is a fundamental part of being a great guitar player. Most lead guitar players like to play when a guitar is on the edge of feedback so they can intentionally induce it at any time.

#2 You may be playing too loud.

#3 You may have to much low end in your tone that is vibrating your guitar (causing the feedback).

So if you are wanting to stop guitar feedback, you need to position yourself in a way so that the guitar shakes less from the amp. You can cram stuff in the f-holes (but that defeats the purpose of the hollowbody) just as acoustic guitar guys often do with the soundhole plugs. You can adjust your volume or tone settings so that the guitar is not shaking as much.

That's all I know. I wish I had more experience on this subject. In my world, microphone feedback is 100,000 x bigger problem.
