An electric guitar transducer mounting permitting rapid interchange and replacement of transducers in an electric guitar. An electric guitar of any desired contour is formed with an opening extending from the front face through to the back of the guitar body, with this body opening dimensioned to accommodate any one of the generally available transducers (pickups) employed with electric guitars. A sleeve is formed dimensioned to fit within the guitar body opening, and provided with an entry opening from the back of the guitar body to receive a module containing a transducer. The sleeve is formed with electrical terminals engageable with the module and electrically coupled to the wiring in the conventional electric guitar body. The module is formed with a selectively removable top plate engaging and securing a given transducer in the module for selective positioning in the sleeve.
An electric guitar having guitar strings and wiring for coupling of a transducer supported adjacent the guitar strings to an amplifier, said guitar comprising:
A method of rapidly and simply replacing and/or exchanging the transducer of an electric guitar having guitar strings, a body defining the outer contours of the guitar with the strings anchored to said body and electrical wiring for coupling a transducer adjacent the guitar strings to an amplifier;
