Oh cool, so like a hollow electric rather than an acoustic that's been shrunk to electric size. I getcha.
335s are louder than solid bodies but not much. They have a solid core with two hollow chambers either side. Epi Casinos and Gibson 330s are a similar shape and fully hollow so a bit louder acoustically but all were made to be played plugged in. The acoustic sound is kind of a by-product of the design and not a selling point.
Edit: yep, what he said^

Yeah like a Fender Thinline or Gretsch Streamliner type of thing. People seem to love Gibson 335s but I can't find anything about how they sound acoustically.
