ABSTRACT:
In a stringed musical instrument body, such as for a guitar, the top plate or soundboard of the body is attached to the sidewall by an elongated mounting member extending along the marginal edge of the soundboard and between such marginal edge and the adjacent upper edge of the sidewall. The mounting member resiliently supports the top plate and influences its natural frequency. The rounded shape of the mounting member avoids the otherwise sharp corner occurring at the front edge of the instrument body, and the mounting member is preferably made of a molded plastic which may include a molded ornamental design on its outer visible surface.
