摘要： Stringed musical instruments and methods of manufacture. An instrument includes a body, a neck extending from the body, and a head extending from the neck. The head and the neck attach to one another with a mortise and tenon joint or a dovetail joint. The head and neck may be removably or permanently attachable to one another. The body and neck may also attach to one another with a mortise and tenon joint or a dovetail joint. A truss rod may extend from the neck to secure the head and neck to one another. The body, neck, head, or portions thereof may be manufactured from aluminum and/or a combination of metals. A neck assembly may include a reinforced spine, a grip member, a fretted fingerboard, and a tenon tongue or a dovetail pin extending from an end of the spine.

摘要： The present invention is an apparatus used to connect a typical guitar strap in non-traditional positions on the body of a guitar or bass guitar, which affixes to the instrument to provide stability and balance. The core components of the apparatus are a resilient hollow plastic outer shell with an external protrusion extending from the apex, a protective non-slip thermoplastic rubber inner layer, and metal hardware, suitable for use with virtually all guitar straps presently in use, attached to the external protrusion. The invention can be used to attach a strap to a guitar or bass guitar securely, without damaging the finish or affecting the tonal integrity of the instrument. Furthermore, it should be noted that the apparatus is generally a parabolic shape, intended to securely fit over the upper or lower horn of a guitar or bass guitar.

摘要： A musical instrument rest for attachment to an instrument having a neck. The rest provides a buffer between the instrument and a surface. The rest has an instrument side, surface side and a thickness between said instrument side and said surface side. The surface side being adapted to contact the surface in order to prevent damage to the surface. The thickness being compressible and wherein the rest is adapted to be attached to the musical instrument in the area of the neck. The weight of the instrument pressing the rest against the wall surface provides a frictional force to hold the rest and the headstock against the wall surface without damaging the wall surface. The frictional force will prevent the instrument from sliding or falling down. The compressibility of the rest will prevent damage to the wall surface.

摘要： Systems and methods for onboard, real-time pickup blending for electric guitars/basses may utilize every possible tonal combination that double coil pickups can offer. The industry standard pickup toggle switch may be removed from electric guitar/bass instruments. Instead of a user being limited to only using one pickup at a time to be selected, the user may mix in any combination of the pickups (top, bottom, or both) at any time. Accordingly, multiple pickups can be on at the same time and/or the user may blend in (or out) any percentage of any of the pickups that the user wishes to create a large combination of tones.

摘要： A foldable stringed instrument, for example in the form of a travel guitar that folds mid-neck to assume a reduced profile is described. The mid-neck folding is accomplished in a symmetrical manner about a three-part hinge located in the neck to configure the travel guitar into a reduced profile. The bridge assembly can be translated longitudinally relative to the head of the guitar to allow sufficient detensioning of the guitar strings to enable an upper portion of the neck to be folded away from a lower portion of the neck and/or body to assume a reduced profile. To deploy the travel guitar for playing, the upper portion of the neck is unfolded into alignment with the lower portion of the neck and/or body, and the bridge assembly translated longitudinally relative to the head and locked in position to allow the guitar to be tuned for playing.

摘要： A stringed instrument, for example an electric guitar, comprises a neck and a body defining a neck and body joint. The neck and body joint includes a neck having a tapered tenon, and a body having a complementary tapered mortise surrounding the tapered tenon. The tapered tenon may be held within the tapered mortise with a tensioning device without the use of adhesives between surfaces of the tapered tenon and surfaces of the tapered mortise.

摘要： A stringed musical instrument having a counter tensioning system to counteract the string tension. The counter tensioning system creates a force in opposition to the string tension preventing bowing of the neck. The counter tensioning system reduces the need for periodic adjustments and calibration. The counter tension system also allows for precise calibration of the neck bow to accommodate user preferences.
