Abstract

In construction of a body unit for a string musical instrument such as an electric guitar, a planar pattern panel bearing a fashionable graphic design is interchangeably sandwiched between a body top of the musical instrument and a substantially transparent cover panel detachably coupled to the body top. Aesthetic properties of the musical instrument can be easily adjusted by an individual user without any assistance by professionals in accordance with personal preference and/or situation in performance by interchanging the pattern panel.
