Abstract
An electric guitar (10) is disclosed as including spacers (50,52,54) and connector straps (56,58) that cooperate to provide mounting of the electric guitar on an acoustic guitar (12) in a spaced and fixed relationship. Three of the spacers are preferably utilized with one being an adjustable spacer (50) and two being end spacers (52,54) between which the adjustable spacer (50) is located in a central and rearwardly spaced position that also accommodates for adjustment of the guitar faces with respect to each other. In one embodiment, the connector straps (56,58) have a resilient construction and in another embodiment incorporate adjustable clamps (84,86).
Claims16
An electric guitar comprising:
- a body and a neck that extends from the body and has a head;
- said body having a face including a tailpiece for connecting wires;
- said head having means for connecting the wires which are tensioned so the guitar can be played;
- said body having an electrical sound producer for use in producing an electrically transmitted sound as the tensioned wires are strummed between the head and the tailpiece;
- said body having a vertical edge for opposing a vertical side of a sound box of an acoustic guitar;
- spacer means for spacing said vertical edge of the electric guitar from said vertical side of the acoustic guitar to prevent sound transmission between the guitars;
- and connector means for securing the electric guitar to the acoustic guitar in a fixed and spaced relationship with respect to each other in cooperation with the spacer means.
An electric guitar comprising:
- a body and a neck that extend from the body and has a head;
- said body having a face including a tailpiece for connecting wires;
- said head having means for connecting the wires which are tensioned so the guitar can be played;
- said body having an electrical sound producer for used in producing an electrically transmitted sound as tensioned wires are strummed between the head and tailpiece;
- said body having a contoured lower edge for opposing an upper contoured side of a sound box of an acoustic guitar in a complementary relationship;
- spacer means for spacing said contoured lower edge of the electric guitar form the upper side of the sound box of the acoustic guitar to prevent sound transmission between the guitars;
- and connectors for securing the electric guitar to the acoustic guitar in a fixed and spaced relationship with respect to each other in cooperation with the spacer means.
