ABSTRACT:
An improved solid body guitar structure wherein the solid body is formed of a combination of balsa wood with sufficient hard wood allied therewith to provide structural rigidity to the instrument. The balsa/hard wood body block is then skinned with selected veneer material on one or more surfaces thereby to render an extremely strong and rigid solid body that is much lessened in weight. Hard wood portions of the body block are relied upon for interconnection to the neck/peghead guitar structures. Further weight relief and acoustical adjustment may be effected by removal of small portions of the hard wood at selected non-stress, low resonance points.
