  • Modular electric guitar
    Patent number: 6194644
    Abstract: An electric guitar has two structurally independent components. A neck/tailpiece module (10) is set into a docking recess (14) in the body module (12). In operation, the two are simultaneously joined mechanically and electronically by an indexing pin (18) and a wiring connector (48 and 50). The two components are fastened by a single bolt (54). The structural independence of the two members makes possible the utilization of bodies which may be constructed of almost any shape, size or material.
