Physics says you DO NOT WANT a resonant body or neck. This does nothing for the string vibration, or in fact, can kill the sustain. It is the acoustic properties that resonance affects, but we don't care about that for ELECTRIC GUITARS!
Some good links to read:
From the last article:
What we’ve learned. Returning to the systems we summarized a moment ago, both would immediately eat up energy from the string’s signal once we’d hit the few frequencies they are tuned to. All physical instruments will have some inevitable resonances and dampening, which is the main reason why there are so many instruments that sound different. But for a solidbody electric, the whole notion of increasing sustain with resonant tonewoods or letting a string send its vibrations into the body to resonate before returning to the string is pretty much nonsense.
You’d think if one of the resonance-enhancing systems worked as promised, it would have generated at least some reaction from owners by now. It hasn’t, which gives us an idea of a body’s tonal influence on a solid electric instrument ... obviously not that much.
