All guitars have a resonance, and pst the software theory is the actual practical carving (I have got my hands on some sound analysis tech that measures "real" resonance from objects), so I would do some whittling after the carving.

And if you have a freqcency that interferes with that of the string vibration, then you're in trouble because you get muting and odd harmonics. While it doesn't really matter much, I quite like the challenge of getting a "perfect" sound, I am just wondering if the guitar should resonate at the root note of the normal tuning I use.

But thanks for all the help

I have some software that anylises vibrations and resonance with different materials, and you can alter then shape of the guitar with bumps and dips (like the shape of the schecter Diamond series) to achieve different resonant frequencies. but I guess i'll just stick with a standard shape then

No I mean that I have a prefered tuning, and seeing as i use that more than others, it would suggest that I should atleast try to achieve something for that sound surely?

Hey I'm new here.

I was wondering how the resonance of the solid body of the guitar affects the sound (electric).

I assume that if the resonance was close to that of the root note of the tuning you use normally, the sound would have that lovely creamy feel, and better harmonics that everyone loves.

Oppinons?

Cheers.
