Abstract

See full text

An improved body for a stringed instrument wherein the pickups are extended from a mount that can be removed from and replaced into a pocket in the rear surface of the instrument body without the use of tools. When the pickup mount is fully seated in the pocket in the rear surface of the body of the instrument, the pickups protrude through openings in the front surface of the body or pickguard in their proper location in relationship to the strings. Retractable tapered projections secure the pickup mount in the pocket in the instrument body. Pickups can be changed quickly during live performances. Unlimited combinations of pickups can be explored in order to find the best tones. The beauty of the front of the guitar is preserved while flexibility in sound is gained.
