Description

  The present invention relates to a guitar whose body and neck can be easily removed.

  The size of the guitar is usually decided, and it is carried in a special case, but it is inconvenient to carry because of its size, and it is often abandoned without taking it when you want to carry it on a trip or business trip. This is due to the structural factor that the guitar has a neck and a bridge that cannot be disassembled without removing the strings.

The size of the guitar is standard, and the performance in the normal case will give the maximum performance at that size, but if it is for performance that does not focus on performance such as practice and recreation, the size is reduced and the fret interval is shortened It can withstand use.

In general, since the neck portion and the bridge portion are not integrated with each other, the guitar cannot be disassembled without removing the strings.

In order to make the guitar small and easy to carry, the method of making the entire guitar small and not disassembling is the easiest, but the interval between the frets is narrow, and it is difficult to play on the high frets side and is not very practical. Another method is to make it compact by removing the bridge and nut with the guitar strings attached. In this case, the structure is complicated and the assembly is troublesome.

  The problem to be solved is to provide a guitar that is easy to carry and has sufficient performance for practical use.

In the present invention, the neck portion of the guitar is structured so that the body can be separated. By attaching a bridge to the neck, the string can be stretched with the neck alone. With this structure, the body and neck can be easily separated, and the body and neck can be easily separated without removing the strings.
In the case of an acoustic guitar, it can be easily constructed by screwing the neck to the body that becomes the resonance box.
In the case of an electric guitar, do not embed the pickup under the string of the body, but make it a structure that slides between the pickup and the body when attaching the neck as a structure that goes out of the body and floats on the surface of the body, The neck and body can be easily separated.
If the neck can be easily separated from the body, the length of the neck alone is maximized, and it becomes possible to make a guitar that is easy to carry.

By attaching a bridge to the neck structure, the strings can be disassembled while the strings are stretched when the neck is removed. By using this as a basic structure, the neck and the body can be easily separated, and can be easily assembled by dividing them for carrying. Furthermore, various types of guitars can be constructed by preparing various types of bodies as a structure that allows easy attachment of the neck and body by screwing. Since an acoustic type, an electric guitar type, etc. can be arbitrarily selected, there is an advantage that an acoustic guitar, an electric guitar, and a synthesizer guitar can be replaced by changing the body.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing a method of implementing a neck separation guitar neck. Example 1 FIG. 2 is an explanatory view showing an implementation method of an acoustic guitar body of a guitar. (Example 2) FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing a method for implementing an electric guitar body of a guitar. (Example 3)

The method for carrying out the present invention is basically the same as that of a conventional guitar, and is basically composed of a neck, a head, a peg, a bridge, a fret, a nut, a string, and the like. This is done using the technology. In the first embodiment, the basic structure of the guitar composed of the neck portion will be described, and the connection method with the body will be shown in the second and subsequent embodiments. Since the bridge is attached to the neck as a configuration, there is no seam as a part where the neck and the bridge are different like the conventional guitar, and there is also an effect that a good sound is produced with little sound loss.

  FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the apparatus according to the present invention, which constitutes only the neck portion. By using a commercially available fender neck or by making the neck 04, the bridge 06 is arranged at a distance of 40 cm to 45 cm from the nut 03, and the frets are arranged at 12 equal tempered intervals according to the distance. 05 is placed. When using a used neck, remove the fret once and place the fret again according to the distance between the nut 03 and the bridge 06. The string has a string hole 08, 09 through which the string is passed at the end of the neck, and a method is described in which the string hole (entrance) 09 on the side surface of the end is opened obliquely from the string hole (exit) 08 on the surface. As another method, a tail piece may be provided, or the back piece may be opened perpendicularly to the front surface. This method is used because the diagonal is less likely to become an obstacle when attached to the body. At that time, a ground plate 10 that contacts all the strings is provided. A method of making a hole in a metal plate and contacting the end of the string through the string is used. As another method, if the bridge 06 portion is made of metal, the bridge 06 can be used in place of the ground plate 10. When the bridge is not metal, the metal plate that contacts the string can be brought into contact with the string by putting it in the gap between the strings. The basic structure for sounding a guitar string has already been made with the structure of the first embodiment, and if it is a weak sound, it can be practiced as it is. By attaching a portion that amplifies the sound caused by the vibration of the string to this neck structure, it can be established as a musical instrument.

The basic structure of the guitar is built at this neck part, but this part does not include an electric circuit. For that matter, to connect the string to the earth of the electric circuit in terms of noise countermeasures Only the portion to which the ground plate 10 is attached. When the earth plate 10 is connected to the body and used as an electric guitar, the earth plate 10 is connected to the earth wire of the electric circuit on the body side to constitute a circuit. As the connection method, a method of connecting using a metal plate or a connector that inevitably comes into contact with the neck is used. Or you may connect using a connector and a terminal separately.

The peg 02 for string tuning is using the prior art. This uses a method of attaching a peg 02 by making a hole in the head 01 at the tip of the neck 03. As another method, there is a method in which a small peg is attached to the base of the neck in order to reduce the total length, and this can be easily realized by using conventional parts.

As long as the distance between the nut 03 and the bridge is about 40 to 45 cm, a conventional standard guitar neck can be used. It can be used as its size. If a long neck such as an electric bass is used, the distance between nut bridges of the 60 cm class used in a normal guitar is close, and it can be played with the same feeling as a normal guitar.

According to the first embodiment, the entire structure of the string portion of the guitar can be created, so that the body can be selected and mounted while the tuning remains unchanged. Depending on the type of body, you can freely select an electric guitar, acoustic guitar, synthesizer guitar, etc., and you can easily change to a variety of guitars. Depending on the shape of the body, multiple necks can be attached simultaneously. In addition, it is possible to play with an adapter attached to a desk, chair, etc. with a neck attached to the furniture.

FIG. 2 shows a method of connecting the neck portion of FIG. 1 to the body 21 of the acoustic guitar.
The body has a neck mounting groove 22, and it is the most orthodox method to fix from the back side with a bolt like a conventional guitar. In the present invention, as in the example of an electric guitar, the number of bolts to be secured from the back side can be reduced by using a mounting bracket to sandwich the back side of the body on the back side. That is, when the neck 04 is connected to the acoustic body 21, the mounting brackets 11 and 38 are hooked on the back of the body in the same manner as the electric guitar body 31, and a hole in the mounting bracket is hooked on the hooking screw 37 to serve as a guide. . Thereafter, the body and the neck are connected and fixed with a neck fixing screw 39. At that time, by fixing the gap between the neck mounting grooves 22 and 33 and the body as much as possible, fixing with a single fixing screw 39 becomes possible. This was explained with an electric guitar body, but the same is true with an acoustic guitar. By using such a simple method or fixing the neck in the same manner as a conventional acoustic bolt-on guitar neck, the sound can be amplified and played. You can get enough volume to play with live sound.

  In the embodiment of FIG. 3, an electric guitar is constituted by fixing the neck 04 to the electric guitar body 31. As shown in the figure, the neck is mounted so as to slide into the neck mounting groove of the body, but the vicinity of the bridge is inserted under the pickup 34 until the mounting bracket 39 hits the neck. In this position, the string is positioned under the pickup. After adjusting to this position, the neck fixing screw 39 is tightened to fix the neck. It is good also as a method of fixing a neck with four screws like the conventional method. One of the major features of the present invention is that the pickup is not built into the body like a conventional electric guitar, but attached to the opposite side of the body. With this configuration, an electric guitar can be configured simply by attaching the neck. In addition, in the circuit configuration, the string noise can be removed by connecting the string to the ground. Therefore, when the neck is attached, the grounding electrode of the neck and the ground electrode of the body come into contact to connect the string to the ground. The noise removal effect can be established. In the present invention, the ground plate and the ground electrode are used. However, the connector can also have a function of automatically contacting, and can be developed as an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a single coil pickup is used as the pickup 34. Although the pickup is not connected to the pickup adjustment circuit 32, this circuit configuration is the same as that of the existing technology, and is omitted. In addition to a single pickup, a humbucking pickup can be used. Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, an example of one pickup is shown, but the present invention can also be realized by a pickup configuration in the conventional technique of two or three. However, since the range in which the strings are played becomes narrow, the arrangement of the pickup is arranged so that it is easy to play. It is also effective for ease of playing by protecting the outside of the pickup with a cover with rounded corners so that the hand is not injured.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention proposes a new configuration of a guitar, and can be divided into guitars without disassembling the strings, and is useful as a guitar that can be easily disassembled and a guitar that is easy to carry. In addition, the body type can be easily changed, so it can be changed to an electric guitar or an acoustic guitar according to your preference. The guitar type can be changed instantly even during live performances. A normal size guitar can also be constructed, so it can be expected to be widely used as a new combination of guitars.
