Abstract
A generally triangular base of electrically insulative material has a base edge and a vertex area opposite the base edge. A guitar pick is mounted in the base at the vertex edge thereof and extends therefrom to form a triangular configuration. A sheet of electrically conductive material is embedded in the base in spaced parallel proximity with the base edge. A microphone is embedded in the base and extends between the pick and the sheet of electrically conductive material and in close proximity with each. Electrically conductive material is electrically connected to the microphone and to the sheet in the base and extends out of the base for connection to an amplifier.
Claims3
A guitar pick for steel string guitars, said guitar pick comprising
- A generally triangular base of electrically insulative material having a base edge and a vertex area opposite the base edge;
- A guitar pick mounted in the base at the vertex area thereof and extending therefrom to form a substantially triangular configuration;
- a sheet of electrically conductive material embedded in the base in spaced parallel proximity with the base edge thereof;
- microphone means embedded in the base and extending between the pick and the sheet of electrically conductive material and in close proximity with each;
- and
- electrically conductive means electrically connected to the microphone means and the sheet in the base and extending out of the base for connection to an amplifier.
