The end portions of the side walls have notches or openings formed therein which align with the opening in the reinforcing member. A ringlike insert is fixedly positioned within these latter openings, and is fixedly secured to the guitar body, such as to the side walls. This insert defines therethrough a large opening which is aligned with the longitudinal axis of the guitar body and provides convenient access to the interior thereof. The insert has webs or seats formed adjacent the inner end thereof, and a removable plate is positioned within the insert so as to close off the opening, the plate being fixedly secured to the insert by removable fasteners.
