Hello. Which model is it? A Combo, or a Joe Maphis model, or a Celebrity? The first two should be Semi-Hollow, where the last one should be all Hollow-Body.
Combo:

Joe Maphis (yes, these are partly hollow, they just don't have an F Hole.)

Celebrity I (these came as the Celebrity I, II, and III. They don't all have the same specifications, and they don't all look exactly the same.)

Perhaps it was actually shaped like a Ventures model, though? I've seen a few Japanese-built types like that, such as this worn Morales model (which is not a reissue.)
