ABSTRACT:
The tonal body disparity between low and high frequency in a stringed instrument and the like may be balanced out by building the guitar having unsymmetrical mass loading wherein a larger mass is provided to the side of the guitar having strings of high frequency then to the other side. This may be achieved by actual peripherally mass loading a conventional guitar, building a guitar with a cross-section substantially resembling a tear-drop, said cross-section being taken in a plane substantially perpendicular to the upper surface of the guitar and equally perpendicular to the principal longitudinal axis of the neck of the guitar or a combination thereof.
