Guitar keyboard but control of an organ or a device acting as such

The present invention relates to a guitar which to electrically controlled organs can be connected to 1st and one Electrically controlled keyboard for controlling an electronic electron organ od the like has

or electronic circuits converted into an organ effect "Such guitars" can produce sounds with a guitar effect or sounds with an organ effect.

The guitar according to the invention is an electric and / or hencoemlicöe guitar, showing the vibrations of the strings only for achieving the guitar tone of another compatible tones during the organ tone of of an organ or of a tinrionung acting as such is obtained

In practice, the keyboard becomes the guitar of the invention both the setting of the different tones of the guitar tones by means of the vibrations of the strings and the setting the various organ tones worn out by means of their electrical control

In this way the strings function as onbreaker contacts of a circuit bsw · as a distributor of the current to a circuit «

The keys of a guitar keyboard are really sur Arranged axis of the keyboard and take the same completely a·
