A body for an electronic stringed instrument is disclosed in which an inner chassis is provided with a removable and replaceable outer body shell. The chassis is manufactured of metal or a particularly hard plastic. The chassis has a first end adapted to receive and secure a neck of a guitar or similar instrument and an opposite end adapted to receive and secure a bridge. The chassis has at least one opening in its upper surface adapted to receive and secure an electric pickup. The body of the outer shell includes a lower portion which is removably secured to the metal chassis and an upper portion which is removably secured to the lower portion. The outer shell creates a cavity into which various electronic components may be secured. Because the outer shell is removable, various outer shell shapes may be secured to a single chassis. Additionally, the chassis of the present invention provides superior resonance qualities over conventional solid wooden body guitars.
