Abstract
Electronic guitar including a case, a keyboard, a sound synthesis electronic assembly and an output line. The keyboard is divided into an upper keyboard arranged on a neck of the case and a lower keyboard arranged on a body of the case. The upper and lower keyboards constitute a complex array. When a key on the upper keyboard and a key on the lower keyboard are pressed, a determined note is generated by the sound synthesis electronic assembly and can be output to a karaoke CD player. It is thus possible to play this guitar while singing the karaoke.
