All semi hollow guitars I've seen have the backplates glued to the body or body "frame" in the case when the hollow is fully removed instead if carved. I'm not a tone-freak, but, would I compromise tone too greatly if I mounted the treble side backplate of a semi-hollow with screws in order to access all the electronics easily instead of glueing it?

Screwing is prone to humming noises due to vibration, gluing isn't. I don't know, if that's the reason though. – MaestroGlanz May 14 '22 at 10:19

The semi hollow guitars I have seen have no backplates. I’ve also never seen a backplate on a solid body that is glued on, what would be the point? All the electronics on semi hollow guitars are accessed through the F holes. How about a picture or at least a make and model of your instrument? – John Belzaguy May 14 '22 at 17:13
