"Chambered" is an electric-guitar-builder's term of art. It means that instead of bent sides a solid block of wood is routed away to create a hollow space.
For example, the Epi WildKat is chambered:
John Monteleone did not rout away 2.5" of wood to create this guitar. It has bent sides or dinner's on me.

It's a hollow guitar, maestro. Look at how much thicker it is than a solid-body Les Paul:
See how the LP's jack takes up almost the entire side, but the Monte's has an inch or so on top and bottom?
Yes, it has a maple top.
Yes, it's built to play through an amp.
Yes, I would be mighty happy to let it stay at my house while it settles in over the next few decades.
