Abstract

The method is for fitting necks of different sizes into the same electric guitar body. The guitar body has an open ended slot (B) of a precisely dimensioned width. Each guitar neck has a projection (A) of rectangular form. The width of this projection is the same for all the guitar necks. The width of the projection (A) is such that it is a close fit in the slot (B) of the guitar body. The open-ended slot can accommodate projections of different lengths on different necks. The guitar player can thus choose the size of guitar neck which is most suitable for him or her. USE - Electric guitars with exchangeable necks of different sizes.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Hals-Body-Norm-Verbindungspaßsockel nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Der Normpaßsockel soll eine Verbindung von unterschiedlich proportionierten Hälsen an den selben Body ermöglichen, ohne, daß zusätzliche Arbeiten getätigt werden müssen.The invention relates to a neck-body-standard connection fitting base according to the preamble of claim 1. The standard fitting base should be a Connection of differently proportioned necks to the enable the same body without additional work Need to become.

Es ist bekannt, genormte Hälse in genormte Bodyfräsungen zu setzen.It is known to get standardized necks in standardized body millings put.

Es ist aber nicht möglich, unterschiedlichste Hälse an einen gleichen Body zu befestigen.But it is not possible to have different necks on one to attach the same body.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, jedem Musiker die Möglichkeit zu geben, den optimal proportionierten Hals an sein Instrument leicht anbauen zu können und so eine Bespiel barkeitsverbesserung zu erreichen (verbesserter Spielkomfort). Unterschiedlichst dicke und breite Hälse sollen an denselben Instrumentenkörper passen.The invention is based, the task of each musician Possibility to give the optimally proportioned neck easy to attach to his instrument and an example Achievability improvement (improved playing comfort). Different thick and wide necks should be on the same Instrument body fit.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einer gattungsgemäßen Einrichtung durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale der Patentansprüche gelöst. Zwei Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung werden in den Zeichnungen dargestellt und im folgenden näher beschrieben.This task is carried out in a generic device solved the characterizing features of the claims. Two Embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings shown and described in more detail below.

Fig. 1 zeigt einen Schnitt durch einen schmalen und dünnen Hals. Fig. 1 shows a section through a narrow and thin neck.

Fig. 2 zeigt denselben Hals von der Seite. Fig. 2 shows the same neck from the side.

Fig. 3 zeigt einen Schnitt durch einen breiten und dicken Hals. Fig. 3 shows a section through a wide and thick neck.

Fig. 4 zeigt denselben Hals von der Seite. Fig. 4 shows the same neck from the side.

Der Paßsockel A (in Fig. 1, 2, 3 und 4) gleich dimensioniert, paßt in eine dafür abgestimmte genormte Fräsung B. Die Größe (Dimensionierung) der Hälse kann unterschiedlich gestaltet werden. Der Paßsockel A bleibt gleich. Die Fräsung B für den Paßsockel bleibt ebenfalls gleich. Je nach Höhe des Paßsockels bzw. der dazu gehörigen Fräsungstiefe, kann die Saitenlage (Saitenhöhe über der Bodyoberfläche) reguliert werden. Diese Saitenhöhe über der Bodyoberfläche richtet sich letztendlich nach der eingebauten Brücke.The fitting base A (in Fig. 1, 2, 3 and 4) of the same dimensions fits into a standardized milling B that is coordinated with it. The size (dimensioning) of the necks can be designed differently. The fitting base A remains the same. The milling B for the fitting base also remains the same. Depending on the height of the fitting base or the associated milling depth, the string position (string height above the body surface) can be regulated. This string height above the body surface ultimately depends on the built-in bridge.

Die Position des Paßsockels unterhalb des Griffbrettes bleibt bei allen Zeichnungen (Fig. 1, 2, 3 und 4) gleich. The position of the fitting base below the fingerboard remains the same in all drawings ( Fig. 1, 2, 3 and 4).

ADVANTAGES

1. Necks of any desired shape and size fit the same Guitar body (neck milling and fitting base standardization).
2. Every musician has the opportunity to be the optimal neck for Instrument to be found since all necks and bodysuits made fit together (standardization).
3. The fact that when changing the necks no more milling have to be worked to achieve a precise fit, it will make work easier and save time.
4. An improvement in the playability of the instrument and a possible sound improvement of the instrument is also possible.

Claims

1. Neck-body-standard connection fitting base for electric all-wood body guitars (basses), characterized in that necks of different widths and depths can be attached to the same instrument body and thus a play-related improvement and relief as well as a through the selectability of the necks Sound improvement can be achieved.

2. fitting base according to claim 1, characterized in that in the neck-body area on the neck there is a square base as part of the neck is in turn in a milling matched to this fitting base.

3. fitting base according to claim 2, characterized in that all fitting bases milled into the neck and the millings on the body are standardized and thus all different necks and different instruments let the body join together.

4. fitting base according to claim 1, characterized in that the principle can be applied to all parts to be connected ( 1 ), the exact dimensions (eg width (x), depth (z)) are not fixed or to be determined. The material of the parts ( 1 and 3 ) to be connected can be different. A hard material can be considered (stability).

5. fitting base according to claim 1, characterized in that the fitting base width (x) is slightly greater than or equal to the widest dimension of the insertable part ( 1 ) to be connected.

6. fitting base according to claim 1, characterized in that the fitting base depth dimension (z) the depth of the milling (B) may or may not have to. The length (y) of the fitting base is slightly larger than the length of the milling (B). The milling (B) is located on the edge of any workpiece ( 3 ). The length of the part to be connected (neck) can but does not have to be adjacent to the end of the fitting base ( 2 ). The fingerboard ( 6 ) can be continued above the body, for example ( Fig. 4). The width (x) of the fitting base is the same or slightly larger (press fit). Part ( 1 ) can be attached to part ( 3 ) using screws or similar. get connected. The shape (edge course) ( 5 ) of the body must correspond to the edge course of the neck ( 1 ). The length (y) of the fitting base and the length of the associated milling of the part ( 3 ) should be such that a stable connection of both parts to be connected can be achieved with screws. The shape of the fitting base can be (z) concave. The associated milling is convex to the same extent. The shape of the fitting base can be convex downwards. The associated milling is concave to the same extent. The edge ( 2 ) of the part ( 1 ) can be convex (dimension y). The contact surface of the milling is then concave. The edge ( 2 ) of the part ( 1 ) can be made concave (dimension y). The contact surface of the milling is then designed to be convex. The shape (A) of the fitting base contact surface can be designed as desired. The associated milling (B) then matches the fitting base contact surface (identical).
