Solid Body

The body of an electric guitar can vibrate in multiple modes to provide the desired sound.  Each species of wood has its own density and grain structure which determines its stiffness and weight distribution, which ultimately determines the sound.

The FiberSonixx solid body is not solid at all, or could be, depending on the specific needs.  We start with a continuous one piece shell.  This shell is the primary structure of the guitar body and is three dimensional, with continuous walls forming each pocket.  This produces a very strong structure that is responsive to vibrations.  We can make this shell stiff and light for superior attack and sustain, much like an acoustic guitar body.  Or, we can make this shell heavier and more flexible, to give the guitar some warm, deeper tones.

We can also form a core inside the shell to provide custom tuning of unwanted frequencies.  This core can help diminish some of high pitched responses and provide a warmer tone.

We can selectively reinforce various area of the solid body to improve the tone.  For example, a bridge mounting area that is stiffer will sustain string vibrations longer.  We can combine a flexible body to enhance lower frequencies with a neck pocket that is stiffer to improve sustain.  All of this is possible by choosing different fibers to create different performances.

Did we mention a light weight option?  With most solid bodies weighing in at 4 pounds, we can cut that weight in half for a light weight solution to long gigs that leave you standing all night!

How about shapes that may be fragile or difficult to make with wood?  With composites, we can provide nearly any kind of shape that will be durable as well as stylish.
