摘要： A stringed instrument and associated fret mapping method. The instrument includes a neck having a fret board provided with a plurality of frets having offset string contact regions along their length, whereby accurate intonation of a note is achieved when a string is brought into contact with one of the string contact regions and a note is played. The fret mapping method utilizes a test instrument having a fret board that is longitudinally movable toward and away from the nut of the test instrument. The method utilizes this movable fret board to determine the desired locations of string contact regions for frets on the fret board of a stringed instrument of the present invention.

摘要： A stringed musical instrument having an elongate neck and a body which may have a resonant cavity at one end and a head at the other end thereof. Strings extend across the neck and, when vibrated, generate musical sounds. The invention relies upon fingerboards which are removable so that one type of fingerboard may be substitutable for another type of fingerboard in order to generate sounds of different timber or of different qualities. Thus, fretted fingerboards are substitutable for non-fretted fingerboards. Moreover, and in a preferred embodiment, the fingerboards are inserted onto the neck of the instrument and can be slid into and out of interlocking elements from one longitudinal side of the neck of the instrument. In one embodiment of the invention, dovetail projections are formed on the neck of the musical instrument and corresponding notches or grooves are formed on the underside of the fingerboard to permit an interlocking arrangement of the fingerboard on the neck of the musical instrument. Compensation in the thickness of fretted and non-fretted fingerboards is also provided to insure that the string of the instrument is only moved the same distance with either fingerboard.

摘要： An improved system and method for connecting separate neck and body portions of a stringed musical instrument, preferably an electric guitar, are provided. The neck and body portions are connected together via a support bracket having multiple planes with screws, bolts or the like that are preferably located underneath a cover plate on the front side of the instrument. The instrument includes no other visible securing members, such that separate neck and body portions can be connected together while maintaining a one-piece aesthetic quality of the instrument.

摘要： A specialized at least bilayered device similiformic with the fretboard/fingerboard/keyboard of an instrument is designed to be removingly disposed between the strings and fretbaord or frets of the instrument and prevents or mitigates fret damages (from, for example, dimpling or string grooving) owing to string pressures—such as during transport and storage of the instrument in a case or other. Fret integrity and active or functional life is extended in an industrially efficient, economical and elegant way heretofore uncontemplated and/or commercially realized.

摘要： Frets can be provided for stringed instruments without requiring a process for scraping both ends of a fret main body after the frets are installed into a fingerboard of a stringed instrument. Both ends of the fret main body are formed in a shape along a cross-sectional shape of the fingerboard at both sides of the fingerboard when the frets are driven into fret grooves of a fingerboard. Each of the frets is provided with a fret main body for dividing a surface of the fingerboard and a leg portion standing unitedly on an underside of the fret main body.
