Chambered Stratocaster® Replacement Bodies - Top Rout
For years we heard the cry for lighter weight bodies - here it is! Our uniquely engineered cavities allow the body to remain very stiff while affording a minimum 25% weight reduction! This body is fully sculpted, exactly the same as a solid Strat®.
These bodies are very resonant; they feel "alive" when plucked. Sustain is improved over their solid body counterparts and feedback is not an issue since the chambers are small. Tone wise, Alder, Ash, and Mahogany each maintain their traditional wood/tone coloration but notes are more open, full, fat, and chunky sounding. Choose the body core material for your "wood tone" preference then choose the face or top wood for the look you prefer. Whether you're simply looking for less weight or exciting tone, you won't be disappointed.
