[0042] Specifically, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the neck 1 includes a headstock 3, a fingerboard 4, and a heel 5. Strings 6 are provided on the outer periphery of the neck 1. The rotary bearing 7 is arranged inside the fingerboard 4 and the heel 5 for the smooth rotation of the neck 1 on the rotary support shaft 20. The strings 6 are arranged on the neck 1, and the thickness and number are not limited. One end is fixed on the bridge 17, and the other end is fixed on the tuning peg 9. Different numbers of strings 6 can be provided according to the different shapes of the neck 1 in this device.
[0043] As a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the shapes of the headstock 3, the fingerboard 4, and the heel 5 can be structures such as a cylinder, a frustum of a cone, a truncated cone, a cuboid, or a prism.
[0044] Specifically, referring to Figures 4 - 6 , the headstock 3 is provided with tuning buttons 8, tuning pegs 9, and string presses 10.
[0045] The tuning buttons 8 (tuning knobs) are used to adjust the tension of the strings 6, thereby changing the pitch of the strings 6. Each string 6 corresponds to a tuning button 8. Rotating the tuning button 8 clockwise or counterclockwise can increase or decrease the pitch. The tuning peg 9 is a part of the tuning button 8 and is used to fix the end of the string 6. The string 6 is wound around the tuning peg 9, and the tension is adjusted by the tuning button 8. The string press 10 raises the pitch of the string 6 at the same time, thereby changing the tonality of the instrument.
[0046] Specifically, referring to Figures 4 - 6 , the fingerboard 4 is provided with a nut 11, a fingerboard 12, frets 13, and fret markers 14.
[0047] When the player presses the string 6, the finger mainly touches the fingerboard 4. The nut 11 is a small component located between the fingerboard 4 and the headstock 3. The string 6 is fixed in place and maintained at an appropriate height through the groove of the nut. The fretboard 12 is located on the surface of the fingerboard 4 and varies according to the shape of the fingerboard 4. The fretboard 12 is inlaid with frets 13 for playing different pitches. The frets 13 are metal strips inlaid on the fretboard 12 and vary according to the shape of the fretboard 12, dividing the pitch positions on the fretboard 12. Pressing the string 6 to make it contact the fret 13 can change the effective string length, thereby changing the pitch.
[0048] The fret markers 14 are marks on the fretboard 12, usually located at specific frets (such as the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, and 12th frets), to help the player quickly locate the position of the fingers. They can be in the shape of dots, blocks, diamonds, etc., and are usually made of mother-of-pearl, plastic, or metal.
[0049] Specifically, refer to Figures 4 - 6 , the foot 5 is provided with a saddle 16(16), a bridge 17, a string post 18, and a locking hole 19. The number of the locking holes 19 is multiple, and the locking buckle 27 cooperates with the locking hole 19.
[0050] The saddle 16 corresponds to the nut 11. The string 6 is fixed in place and maintained at an appropriate height through the groove of the nut. The bridge 17 fixes the other end of the string 6 and transmits the vibration of the string 6 to the body 2, including a fixed bridge 17 and a tremolo system, etc.
[0051] The string post 18 is a part of the bridge 17. Each string 6 corresponds to a string post 18, and the string 6 is supported and transmits vibration here. The material and design of the string post 18 will affect the tone color and intonation. For an electric guitar, the string post 18 can adjust the height and position to optimize the string height and intonation.
[0052] Specifically, refer to Figures 4 - 6 , the locking hole 19 is provided on the end face of the foot 5. The multiple locking holes 19 are arranged at a certain angular interval centered on the axis of the neck 1.
[0053] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figure 8 , the shape of the locking hole 19 is a round hole, and the number thereof is the same as the number of the strings 6. The connection line between the center of each locking hole 19 and the center of the corresponding string 6 passes through the axis of the neck 1. When the user does not need to rotate the neck 1 or needs to fix the neck 1 at a certain position angle, the locking hole 19 is used to lock the neck 1 from rotating.
[0054] Specifically, refer to Figures 1 - 2 , the body 2 is further provided with a sound hole 29, a pickguard 21, and a strap button 28. Refer to Figure 7, a slide rail is provided on the guitar body 2, and the latch 27 is installed on the slide rail. When the guitar neck 1 needs to be rotated, the latch 27 is moved out of the latch hole 19 along the slide rail. When the guitar neck 1 is rotated to the preset position, the latch 27 is moved along the slide rail so that its end extends into the latch hole 19 to lock the guitar neck 1.
[0055] The sound hole 29 is located at the center of the guitar body 2. The vibration of the strings 6 is transmitted to the soundboard through the bridge 17. The vibrations of the soundboard and the resonance box are amplified by the sound hole 29 and transmitted into the air, thereby generating volume and tone. The pickguard 21 is located on the soundboard of the guitar body 2 to protect the soundboard of the guitar from scratches and wear by a pick or fingers. The strap button 28 is a device for fixing the guitar strap, ensuring that the performer can firmly support the guitar when standing or moving. When the user does not need to rotate the guitar neck 1 or needs to fix the guitar neck 1 at a certain position angle, the latch 27 is pushed, and the latch 27 can be inserted into the latch hole 19 on the side of the tail of the guitar foot 5 to lock the guitar neck 1 from rotating.
[0056] See Figures 9 - 16 , the present utility model also provides a rotary electric guitar, the guitar neck 1 and the guitar body 2 of which are substantially the same as those of the above-mentioned rotary acoustic guitar, and the differences include: See Figure 12 , Figure 13 , a pickup 15 is provided on the guitar foot 5 of the rotatable electric guitar, and a pickup selector knob 22, a volume knob 23, a tone knob 24, and an output jack 25 are also provided on the guitar body 2.
[0057] The pickup 15 converts the vibration of the strings 6 into an electrical signal. The main types include single-coil pickups and double-coil pickups. Different pickups 15 provide different tones, and each string 6 corresponds to a pickup 15. The pickup selector knob 22 is located on the guitar body 2 and is used to select different combinations of pickups 15, thereby changing the tone of the guitar. The volume knob 23 is used to adjust the overall volume of the guitar. The tone knob 24 is used to adjust the tone of the guitar, mainly by changing the output of the high-frequency part. Rotation of the tone knob 24 can make the tone brighter (increasing high frequency) or warmer (decreasing high frequency). The output jack 25 is located on the side or bottom of the guitar body 2 and is an interface for connecting the guitar to an amplifier or other audio devices.
