  • Patent number: 5390371
    Abstract: A tight fitting guitar glove is presented which has a number of raised cushioning strips on the tips of each of the four fingers of the glove. Several longer raised cushioning strips are also placed on the thumb side of the length of the index finger. These raised strips are used to compress the chord strings on the guitar. The strips are quite narrow, being approximately 1/16" in width and have valleys between the raised strips. The cloth of the glove is extremely tight fitting so that only the raised strips on the tip or side of the fingers will touch the closely adjacent guitar strings. The raised cushioning strips not only provide comfort to the guitar player but are so designed as to allow for the strips to depress closely spaced guitar strings.
