[0010] In addition, the spacer 59 arranged in the bottom portion of the recess 52A of the lower bridge 52 causes mechanical loss when transmitting vibrations to the lower bridge 52 and the body of the electric stringed instrument.
Thus, it is difficult to reproduce the live sound of the electric stringed instrument using the known pickup unit 50 structure

Abstract

A pickup unit of an electric stringed instrument is constituted of a vibrator supporting strings, a support which is installed inside the recess of a lower bridge so as to support the vibrator, and a plurality of piezoelectric elements which convert vibrations of strings transmitted thereto via the vibrator into electric signals. At least one presser member is interposed between the vibrator and the support. The presser member is constituted of a screw that is put into the lower surface of the vibrator from the lower surface of the support, thus upwardly pressing the piezoelectric elements onto the vibrator. This makes it possible to efficiently transmit vibrations of strings to the piezoelectric elements, thus improving the tone color and sound quality of an electric stringed instrument.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a pick-up unit of an electric stringed instrument, which picks up the vibration of strings and converts the vibration into an electric signal. Background technique [0002] Generally, electric stringed instruments such as electric guitars and acoustic guitars have been equipped with a pickup unit that picks up the vibration of a saddle in order to generate an electric signal. Known examples of pickup units for electric stringed instruments are disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 as follows: [0003] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. H07-239684 [0004] Patent Document 2: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H07-239685 [0005] Figure 5A and 5B A known construction of a pickup unit 50 suitable for electric stringed instruments is shown. The pickup unit 50 is fixed into the recess 52A of the lower bridge 52 attached to the outer plate 51 of the electric stringed instrument. The pick-up un...
