The chambering is intended to enhance resonance while reducing weight.

Independent shopping perspective
Built around an ultra-thin U wenge-and-padauk neck, the John Browne Tao-6 brings a 25.5-inch scale, ebony fingerboard and 24 jumbo stainless-steel frets to a right-handed six-string solidbody format. Its chambered swamp-ash body is paired with Chaos Breaker-6 bridge and Colossus-6 neck humbuckers. A three-way switch selects pickups, while pulling the master volume splits the coils for brighter single-coil sounds. Dual carbon-fiber rods and a satin neck finish round out a guitar designed for intricate riffing, fast runs and low-tuning work.
