ELECTRIC GUITAR / BASS WITH DOUBLE NECK, WHICH IS DIVIDED INTO TWO SEPARATE

Abstract

Electric guitar/bass with double neck, which can be divided into two separate autonomous guitars/bass (FIG. 1).

This division is made possible thanks to the special guitar/bass body composed by two individual bodies, mate and held together by screws or clips.

The advantage of such an invention is the possibility of multiple ‘3 in 1’ use:

a) Double Neck Guitar/Bass

b) A separate instrument only with the first neck

c) A separate instrument only with the second neck

Claims

1. The electric guitar/bass with double neck can be instantly divided, in one go, into two separate completely autonomous guitars/basses, without any further transformation or addition.

2. The electric guitar/bass with double neck, according to claim 1, is able to be instantly divided, in one go, thanks to the specific body composed of two sub-bodies that can be paired, from both right to left or left to right sides, and are held together as one single body, by screws or clips, allowing any guitarist/bassist use it with a common typical strap when playing standing.

3. The electric guitar/bass with double neck, according to claim 1, allows the following least neck combinations possible: twelve-string guitar with six-string guitar, fretted bass with fretless bass, and guitar with bass, since its special design also easily allows further unlimited electric guitar/bass connections, letting it act as a triple neck instrument, or as an instrument with even more necks at any possible neck order.

4. The electric guitar/bass with double neck, according to claim 2, allows the following least neck combinations possible: twelve-string guitar with six-string guitar, fretted bass with fretless bass, and guitar with bass, since its special design also easily allows further unlimited electric guitar/bass connections, letting it act as a triple neck instrument, or as an instrument with even more necks at any possible neck order.

Description

[0005] FIG. 1 shows the way the two electric guitar/bass bodies are connected for double neck use (see a) and the manner of their division (see b) from which the two autonomous instruments arise.

[0006] FIG. 2 shows the bodies of FIG. 1 combined with bass necks (fretted-fretless) and the result of their division from which a self fretted and a self fretless bass arise. FIG. 2 is only one of the possible combinations that could result by choosing each time different guitar or bass necks.

[0007] One way of implementing the invention is described with reference to the drawings. The bodies are designed and constructed so as to pair one inside the other when connected (a) as shown noticeably in the figures, while held together by screws (the screws are not shown in the drawings) that are screwed into the holes (c) and (d) as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2.

[0008] So whenever the division of the two bodies is needed, unscrewing the two screws suffices. When using the instrument as a double neck (a), i.e. the two bodies connected, apart from screws, other types of links (none of them are shown) could be used for inside the holes (c) and (d), such as: clips, clip shafts or even a semi locking-unlocking system (each time onto the bodies or removable).
