[0035] First of all, FIG. 1 shows a conventional electric guitar and its components. The guitar body consists of a massive body 30, mostly made of wood. It has a connection socket 31 for the output of electrical signals to an amplifier system. In the lower part of the outside of the guitar body there are two tone controls 32, 33 and a volume control 35, all of which are designed as rotary knobs. A pickup selector 34 is realized here by a switch lever with three positions. Further you can see a vibration lever 36. The plate, which covers the area below the strings on the guitar body, acts as an impact protection. On the neck 39 there is a fretboard 40 and frets 38 and orientation inlays 37 on the fretboard. At the end of the neck 39 there is the collar 41 with the nut 43 at the transition from the neck 39 to the collar 41 and on the collar the tuning pegs 42 are arranged. On the back of the guitar body the string suspension 44 is located and below the strings 48 the pickups are located, here a treble pickup 45, a mid-position pickup 46 and a bass pickup 47. These pickups can only be replaced with a relatively large effort and with the help of tools. Often they are replaced from the front side visible here, for which purpose the strings 48 have to be loosened, which of course requires a renewed tensioning and tuning of the strings 48 afterwards.
[0036] The present invention creates a guitar on which the pickups can be changed in a few seconds and without tools. For this purpose, the guitar body 3 is provided with at least one continuous recess 2 as shown in FIG. 2. In the example shown, the guitar body has three such continuous recesses 2. In the rear area of the guitar body 3 you can see here a touch screen 25, which is sensitive and effects different circuits of the electronic circuitry housed in the guitar body in different areas. If you press the touchscreen 25 for 2-3 seconds in the very rear end area 26, the bridge pickup is switched on, i.e. pickup 45 for the high notes first of the bridge or string suspension. In the other, front end area of the touchscreen 25, touching the end area 28 there for 2-3 seconds switches on the neck pickup, i.e. the pickup for the bass notes. Between these two end areas 26, 28 on the touch screen 25, namely in area 27, the pickups can be switched on and off continuously. So you can move your finger from back to front over the touchscreen 25 and then the high tones are continuously getting weaker and weaker and the low tones more and more strongly picked up by the strings. Conversely, if you move your finger from the front to the back, the low tones slowly become weaker and weaker and the high tones stronger and stronger. Another function is realized as follows: If you press with one finger, preferably the index finger berry, on the front area of the touch screen 25 and with another finger, preferably the middle finger berry, on the middle area of the screen, the neck pickup is switched on immediately and the bridge pickup is switched off immediately at the same time. If you press the touchscreen 25 again in this way, both pickups are activated again, i.e. the bridge pickup is switched on again. If you press with one finger, preferably with the index finger berry, in the middle area of the touch screen and with another finger, preferably with the middle finger berry, on the back of the screen, the neck pickup is immediately switched off and the bridge pickup is switched on at the same time. If you press the touch screen again in this constellation, the neck pickup is switched on again. At the edge of the guitar body 3, at the lowest point when the guitar is hanging on the shoulders of a player in playing position, you can still see hole 59 for the guitar's output port.
[0037] FIG. 3 shows a single pickup of a pickup. A bar magnet 49 is wound with copper wire 51 on a coil former 50. Instead of using six individual pickups with one coil each, one often takes six bar magnets 49 and winds a single coil around them, using a cardboard or plastic holder to prevent the magnets and coil from moving against each other, in order to save material and also to keep the angular space compact. As an alternative to single bar magnets, one or two bar magnets 52 as shown in FIG. 4 can be used, and the magnetic field can be guided through the coil with ferromagnetic bars or better adjusting screws 53, which are provided with a socket 54 for this purpose. The volume of the individual strings 22 can be adjusted by positioning the pickup of the pickup more or less close to the string 22. This is less convenient for pickups with bar magnets 49 and often only possible with a small hammer, which can be used to move the bar magnets 49 further away from the strings 22 by gently tapping them. If the rod magnet 49 has slipped too far down, you often have to remove the pickup to get to the other side.
[0038] In order that a pickup can be inserted into a precise fit in the recess 2 provided in the guitar body 3 without the need for tools and so that it can be quickly exchanged, a mounting frame 4 as shown in FIG. 5 is preferably inserted into recess 2. On two opposite sides of the mounting frame 4, side brackets 12 are screwed on with Allen screws 15. Pressure springs 68 are fitted around the screws 15 under the side holders 23. The side holders 12 are screwed onto the mounting frame 2 by compressing these compression springs 68. These side holders 12 with their cams 29 at the ends form an exact fit for a fixing plate 14 on the pickup to be used. Two permanent magnets 13 are inserted into the top of each of these side holders 12, which hold the magnetic fixing plate 14 in the inserted condition in a snug fit. One side holder 12 has a recess 58, into which an element with the electrical contact points is inserted, whereby these contact points form a dent at each end, into which spring-loaded pins of the electrical outlets of the pickup to be inserted fit. By adjusting the screws 15 and more or less compressing the built-in compression springs 68, the position of the side holders 12 can be changed and thus also of the pickup to be placed on them, as it soon becomes clear. In one variant, this frame can be made as a single injection-moulded part of plastic, i.e. the pick-up frame 2 and the side holders 12 which sit directly on it in one piece, in which case the compression springs 68 for changing the position of the side holders 12 are no longer needed.
[0039] FIG. 6 shows the fixing plate 14 and below it the pickup 1 with its base plate 8 in a tilted position. The height adjuster 18 consists of a threaded brass rod, which is mounted in the base plate 8 with its thread 17 and on which a rubber wheel 55 is screwed at the end, which can be easily turned with two fingers. The brass thread 17 of the height adjuster 18 is located in a threaded bush 16 in the fixing plate 14. The fixing plate 14 also has a locating hole 19 for a guide pin 20 projecting vertically from the base plate 8, over which the fixing plate 14 with its locating hole 19 is slipped. By turning the rubber wheel 55, the distance between the fixing plate 14 and the base plate 8 can be finely adjusted.
[0040] FIG. 7 shows how this pickup element with its fixing plate 14 is inserted into the fitting seat on the mounting frame 4. The fixing plate 14 is shaped at its four corners into bulges 56, which fit exactly into the cams 29 on the side holders 12 on the mounting frame 2. The four permanent magnets 13 in the side holders 12 strongly attract the ferromagnetic fixing plate 14 and thus hold it securely in its fit. By adjusting the screws 58, the inserted pickup can be tilted more or less in all directions. For example, the distance of its pickups to the strings for the low notes and the strings for the high notes can be adjusted differently. If the frame is made of plastic, the fixing plate 14 can also be an injection-moulded plastic part that fits exactly to the frame, which then fits precisely into the frame between the end cams 29 and is held in this fit by permanent magnets 13.
[0041] FIG. 8 shows a guitar body 3 with two recesses 2 for the pickups 1 and a further recess 63 to accommodate the electronic circuit 64 and the batteries that supply it with power 65. A laterally offset recess 66 serves to accommodate the operating display, a touch screen to be inserted 25. The screwed-on rubber wheels 57 visible along the edge of the guitar body serve as a holder for a cover to be placed on it. In the front recess 2 you can see the inserted neck pickup, and in the rear recess 2 you can see the built-in mounting frame 4 with its side holders 12. For the installation of the mounting frame 4, a step is formed on the inner wall of the recesses, so that a circumferential bearing surface is formed for the mounting frame 4, onto which the mounting frame 4 can be glued, for example. In one of the side holders you can see the electrical contact points 5, each of which forms a dent 24, and which contact points 5 are led via a cable to the out-put port on the guitar body 3.
[0042] FIG. 9 shows the pickup 1 screwed onto its height adjuster 18 by means of the thread 17 of its threaded bush 16 with the fixing plate 14. The coils, coil bobbins and pickups of pickup 1 are housed and wired in a chrome-plated sheet metal housing 60. At the fixing plate 14, directed towards the pickup 1, spring-loaded pins 23 protruding from the fixing plate 14 are arranged as electrical outlets 10 from the pickup 1. These pins 23 fit into the dents 24 at the contact points 5 of the side brackets 12, for safe closing of electrical connections. The pins 23 are wired via cable 57 to the coils of the corresponding pickups of pickup 1.
[0043] In FIG. 10, Pickup 1 is shown with its chrome-plated sheet metal housing 60 with the fixing plate 14, which can be adjusted in distance from its base plate, further inclined towards the viewer. In this illustration you can see the six pickups 21 on the upper side of pickup 1 and in FIG. 11 the pickup 1 and its housing 60 is shown seen from above. Therefore you can see here the six pickups 21 and below the pickup 1 the fixing plate 14 with its four contact pins 23 for the electrical outputs 10 of the pickup 1 or its pickup coils. Finally, FIG. 12 shows an alternative pickup 1 with two rows of pickups 21.
[0044] FIG. 13 shows a section of the rear side 6 of the guitar body 3 with two recesses 2 and next to the front recess 2 the pickup 1 to be inserted with its pickups 21 on its upper side and its fixing plate 14 on its lower side, which is screwed onto its height adjuster 18. The pick-up element which can be inserted without tools is here on one side, i.e. it is shown in perspective diagonally seen from the side, whereby the upper side of pick-up 1 with its pickups 21 is also visible. In the recesses 2 you can see the pickup frames 4 with their side holders 12 and the contact points 5 with the dents they form 24. At the very bottom, below the recesses 2 and the guitar body 3, the strings 22 are running.
[0045] FIG. 14 shows the cut-out of the back 6 of the guitar body 3 with the two recesses 2 and next to the front recess the pickup 1 to be inserted in its fallen position with the fixing plate 14 screwed onto its height adjuster 18 and the rubber wheel 55 at the end of the height adjuster 18 for turning its brass thread and thus adjusting the distance of the fixing plate 14 to the base plate 8 of the pickup 1. The cable 57 connects the coil hangers with the spring-loaded pins 23 on the fixing plate 14, which in the view shown project downwards from the fixing plate 14.
[0046] FIG. 15 shows how the pickup 1 is inserted from the back 6 of the guitar body 3 into the recess 2 on the guitar body 3, although here the mounting frame 4 and the fixing plate 14 are still missing. Take hold of the pickup 1 with thumb and index finger at its height adjuster 18 and insert it into the recess 2. If it is equipped with the fixing plate 14 and the recess is fitted with the mounting frame 4, the fixing plate 14 is positioned exactly on the fitting seat on the mounting frame 4 and held firmly in the fitting seat by the permanent magnets 13 on the side holders 12. The spring-loaded pins 23 on the fixing plate 14 are automatically pressed onto the dents 24 of the electrical contacts 5 on the side holder 12 and thus a secure electrical connection between the coils of the pickup and the output port 7 of the electric guitar is established.
[0047] FIG. 16 shows an alternative version of the fixing plate 14 with a central threaded hole 16. This fixing plate 14 has permanent magnets 13 mounted on its side. FIG. 17 shows this fixing plate 14 as shown in FIG. 16, seen from the other side, and FIG. 18 shows the mounting frame 4 belonging to this fixing plate 14 with its side walls 67 projecting upwards. The fixing plate 14 can be inserted between these side walls 67 and is then held securely in position by the magnetic forces of the permanent magnets 13 facing each other. The slot 61 on one side wall 67 of the mounting frame 4 is used to accommodate a plastic insert element which has the electrical contact points 5 to the guitar's output port. The electrical connections between the electrical outlets of the pickup on the fixing plate 14 and these contact points 5 on the side wall of the mounting frame 4 are made by means of pins 23, the heads of which project slightly beyond the edge of the fixing plate 14. When the fixing plate 14 is inserted, these pins 23 slide over the contact points 5 and establish the electrical connection. However, a pickup can be quickly removed from the mounting frame 4 with its fixing plate 14 at any time with sufficient force and without tools. It is grasped at the height adjuster 18 and simply pulled out of the mounting frame 4 and thus out of the recess 2.
[0048] FIG. 19 shows a pickup 1 with height adjuster 18 and its adjustment thread as seen from below, i.e. lying on the heads of its pickups 21 in a fallen position. On the underside of the pickup 1 you can see its base plate 8, while the coils, the bobbins and pickups are housed in a case 60. From the coils, their electrical outlets lead via cable 57 to the electrical contact points 10 on pins 23 on the fixing plate 14.
[0049] FIG. 20 shows the pick-up 1 and its housing 60 lying on the pickups in a tilted position, with the fixing plate 14 screwed onto the brass thread of the height adjuster 18 on its rear side, where you can see the permanent magnets 13 for holding on to the side walls 67 of the mounting frame 4 according to FIG. 18, and the pins 23 with rounded heads embedded in an insert element whose heads slightly protrude from the side wall of the fixing plate 14. FIG. 21 shows the four electrical outlets 10 from the coils of pickup 1, which are then connected to the insulated pins 23 in this insert element.
[0050] FIG. 22 shows a cut-out of the guitar body 3, seen from its front side 9, with the recess 2 for a pickup, with the six strings 22 running over it. Only one side wall 67 with the electrical contact points 5 with dents 24, which lead to the output port on the guitar body 3 via a cable leading away, and the permanent magnets 13 in this side wall 67 can be seen from the mounting frame. FIG. 23 shows the same cut-out from the rear side 6 of the guitar body 3. Above this, an aluminum support 62 leads to the stability of the guitar, especially to the absorption of the string tension. The pickup element 1 is inserted here straight from the back 6 of the guitar body 3 by grasping it at the fixing plate 14 and inserting it between the two side walls 67 at the mounting frame 4. The permanent magnets 13 on the fixing plate 14 and on the side walls 67 will soon face each other and hold the fixing plate 14 in this position. FIG. 24 shows the situation when the pick-up element 1 is completely inserted and the permanent magnets 13 on the fixing plate 14 are opposite those on the side walls 67 of the mounting frame 2.
[0051] Instead of a magnetic mounting of the pickup element, the pickup element can also be designed in such a way that its fixing plate 14 in recess 2 clicks into a catch purely mechanically, for example against a mechanical spring force, and that this spring force can only be overcome by pulling out the fixing plate 14 with sufficient force, or that the catch can be released by pressing a button or actuating a slider or by turning a knob. The pickup element may also be held mechanically in the recess by being pushed into the recess against mechanical pressure springs from the rear of the guitar body and then a slider or turntable can be pushed or swung over the fixing plate at the rear, after which the pickup element or its fixing plate 14 is secured in its fitted position.
[0052] With such a pickup element, which can be inserted from the rear side 6 of the guitar body 3 in the recesses 2 in it in the manner shown, the replacement of pickup 1 for the production of different tones and tonalities is very simple and also very fast. The cover plate on the back leaves the recesses 2 with the inserted pickups carefully free. Practical tests have shown that it only takes 3 to 5 seconds to change a Pickup 1. In addition, the distance between the pickup and the strings 22 can be adjusted by turning the rubber wheel 55 on the height adjuster 18.
