Abstract
This invention relates to a solid body stringed musical instrument which is adapted to reproduce the acoustical characteristics of a hollowed body acoustic stringed musical instrument. In particular, the invention provides a sealed cavity formed in the area of the body substantially underlying the bass side of the instrument bridge, this cavity permitting the bass side of the bridge to move and flex substantially more than the treble side of the bridge to reduce the instrument sustain in the bass register and to balance the sustain levels of the instrument.
