Kith Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 does chambering the body of a guitar really affect the sound, I know it creates more feedback, but other than that is there a difference? I dont care much about the weight of the guitar, it has never been a problem, so should I still do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sobot Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 I think it does, but to tell you the truth, I have no idea how and which way it affects the sound. I'd like to learn about this aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackburncustomguitars Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Hi, In my experience, the chambered body gives a lot more acoustic resonance to the unplugged guitar. My local physics guy says that that, in turn, changes the way the string vibrates through its arcs and alters the sound slightly. Is this true? Don't know for sure, but I've made amny solid body guitars and then changed only the body to being chambered while leaving everything else the same. The chambered ones always sound a bit more "full". Then again, maybe I'm full of it!! Peace, Dave does chambering the body of a guitar really affect the sound, I know it creates more feedback, but other than that is there a difference?

Daniel Sorbera Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 In my experience hollowing out a guitar body will effect the sound. It makes it sound more "full". It tends to cut out that pierceing sound that solid bodies have. It also has a slower attack. It deffinitly sounds more "acoustic" and less compressed and in your face.
