Smoke Effects Generator For A Musical Instrument

Abstract

An effects generator for a musical instrument, such as an acoustic electric guitar, is disclosed. Such a musical instrument is of the type having a body with at least one internal cavity and at least one sound-producing string. The effects generator comprises a smoke generator that includes a heating wire, a receptacle for holding a quantity of a smoke-producing compound, and a receptacle holder disposed within the at least one cavity of the instrument. A battery is selectively electrically connected to the heating wire of the smoke generator. As such, the heating wire heats the smoke-producing compound to produce smoke emanating from the at least one internal cavity of the instrument. Preferably a switch is electrically disposed between the power source and the heating wire. The body may further includes an aperture opening into the at least one cavity therein, proximate to the receptacle holder, such than an empty receptacle may be replaced easily by grasping the empty receptacle through the aperture and replacing the empty receptacle with a receptacle full of the smoke-producing compound.
