"Hollow body electric guitar was more common in Jazz even in the 40's, I believe." That jazz had a special relationship to early electric guitar is a myth imagined into existence by jazz partisans. C&W musicians, pop musicians, and blues musicians all got interested in the electric guitar during about 1936-1941 at much the same rate that jazz musicians did. For instance, country singer Al Dexter had electric guitar in 1936 on "Honky Tonk Blues"; one of the most influential of all blues harmonica players, John Lee Williamson, had electric guitar on hits (such as "Miss Ida Lee") that were recorded before Charlie Christian recorded anything; and the pop musician Len Fillis recorded "Dipsomania" in April 1936.
