Abstract
An electric guitar has a body which has a rigid back and
side walls defining an internal cavity covered by a flexible table
23. A pickup 13 is rigidly attached to the back of the body and
projects upwardly from the cavity through an aperture 15 in the
front table into a location to cooperate with the strings. A
transducer is mounted to the underside of the table which is
provided with bracing within the cavity. With this arrange
ment, the guitar can either be used as a conventional electric
guitar, as an acoustic guitar without electrical amplification,
or as an amplified acoustic guitar using the transducer.
