solidbody
No hollow cavity
A solidbody is an electric guitar or bass with a solid wood body rather than a hollow resonating chamber.
Unlike acoustic or semi-hollow instruments, solidbodies rely entirely on electronic pickups for sound, reducing feedback at high volumes: a classic solidbody like the Fender Stratocaster.
The design dominates rock, metal, and most amplified popular music.
