Abstract: A single fretboard guard that covers an entire fretboard of a stringed instrument. The fretboard guard includes a main body that covers the fretboard and a ledge that extends downwardly and away from the main body. The ledge serves as anchor points for securing the fretboard guard to the stringed instrument.

Abstract: A file for use in forming a groove in a nut or bridge of a string musical instrument. The file includes a filing edge that is rounded to the same radius as the string to be fitted in the groove it forms in the nut and bridge. A spine or rib is formed along the upper edge of the file to provide stiffening and permitting the file to not bow or flex when being used.

Abstract: A file for filing a fret of a stringed instrument includes a filing slot with two radiused side regions that are coated with abrasive material and a central crown region that is non-abrasive. Sliding the filing slot back and forth across a fret will file away material using the radiused sides. Once the non-abrasive crown region touches the fret the filing motion can cease, and the fret will be appropriately crowned without over-filing.

Abstract: An acoustic guitar strap lock adapter that utilizes a conventional strap lock system in a manner that does not require modification to be made to the guitar. The adapter includes an elongated body having first and second ends, a first opening formed through the elongated body adjacent the first end thereof and being internally threaded to co-axially engage with the guitar's pick-up jack; and a second opening formed through the elongated body adjacent the second end thereof and being configured to securely receive a strap lock therein, whereby the guitar strap can be anchored to the acoustic guitar at a position offset from the pick-up jack.

Abstract: A musical instrument peg winder that includes a tuning peg engaging head, a handle that extends parallel to and laterally offset from the head, and a coupling unit that interconnects the head to the handle.

Abstract: A system and method for enabling measurement of desired environmental criteria of an instrument during storage, including in some situations storage within a closely conforming instrument case. A humireader includes a planar body forming a “T” with a support face. The support face enables a user to suspend and support the body between a pair of adjacent strings allowing the body to extend through a sound hole. An environment sensing system disposed within the body collects environment data of the instrument and presents it to the user using an output system (e.g., a display) that is part of the support face.
