Here is a quick tutorial for you.

1. Step 1:

   Here is a closed spline sketched on the top plane.
   

   

2. Step 2:

   With the sketch selected, choose the extruded boss/base feature.
   

   

3. Step 3:

   Place a check in the Thin Feature option and choose mid-plane.

   (I like this option and it centers your thin feature on the spline, the other options choose what side of the spline to make your feature on.)
   

   

4. Step 4:

   enter the thickness of the thin feature and click the green check to approve.
   

   

5. Step 5:

   the results (I am sure your guitar body will be better looking then this)
