  • Discrete string damper for a guitar
    Patent number: 5467679
    Abstract: A guitar string damper device includes six discrete damper arms for selectively dampening each string individually. The device universally fits most guitars because it attaches to a standard guitar nut. Employing a staggered arrangement for the damper arms and levers allows a musician to quickly dampen and release individual strings while still playing.
