Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of guitars, and specifically to a foldable guitar. Background Technique

[0002] For professional guitar players, the most troublesome thing is the problem of instrument and luggage consignment when going to the next stop after each performance. Generally, due to the need for performance tone, at least one electric guitar and one acoustic guitar need to be carried with them. It is extremely troublesome and time-consuming during air consignment, and occasionally there will be irreversible damage to the guitar caused by accidental bumps during consignment.

[0003] The existing common guitar products have the following disadvantages;

[0004] ⑴ The existing foldable acoustic guitar has less than 24 frets.

[0005] ⑵ The existing foldable electric guitar cannot simultaneously have the tone of an acoustic guitar.

[0006] ⑶ The existing foldable acoustic guitar has a detachable and separated neck and body, not integrated.

[0007] Therefore, we propose a foldable guitar. Content of the Utility Model

[0008] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, meet the actual needs, and provide a foldable guitar to solve the technical problems that the existing foldable acoustic guitar has less than 24 frets, the existing foldable electric guitar cannot simultaneously have the tone of an acoustic guitar, and the existing foldable acoustic guitar has a detachable and separated neck and body, not integrated.

[0009] In order to achieve the purpose of the utility model, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is: designing a foldable guitar, including a neck and a body, a hidden hinge is installed between the neck and the body, and can be hidden inside the guitar body after unfolding;

[0010] A hook is fixed on one side of the neck;

[0011] A buckle safety shift lever is installed at the top of one side of the body, a buckle is installed at the top of the buckle safety shift lever. Open the buckle safety shift lever at the junction of the neck and the back panel of the body and simultaneously open the buckle. After moving the locking hook in the buckle, the headstock and the neck are folded towards the sound hole of the panel, and the folding is completed.

[0012] Preferably, plug blocks are fixed at both front and rear ends of one side of the top of the body, and slots matching the plug blocks are opened at both front and rear ends of one side of the top of the neck.

[0013] Preferably, a headstock is fixed on the top of the neck, and a headstock string lock is installed at the bottom of the front end of the headstock. The headstock string lock adopts high-precision metal material concave teeth processed by CNC, and the strings can be locked or unlocked by turning the hand screw clockwise or counterclockwise.

[0014] Preferably, a plurality of luminous fret marks are fixed to the front end of the neck, so that the musicians can see the fret marks clearly in the dark night or on a dimly lit stage.

[0015] Preferably, the panel of the barrel body is made of pure naturally grown solid spruce wood, which can ensure the tone of the original wood guitar.

[0016] Preferably, the back panel of the barrel body is made of carbon fiber material, and no sound beam uprights as on a traditional back panel are provided, so that the cavity resonance sound of the small box can be made as loud as possible while reducing the weight of the entire piano.

[0017] Preferably, the side panels of the barrel body are made of rosewood with moderate hardness, so that the resonance transmission connection between the front panel and the back panel is more harmonious and the tone is warmer.

[0018] Preferably, a string-pin-free bridge is installed at the bottom of the front end of the barrel body, so as to avoid the situation where the traditional guitar cannot be played outside due to the loss of "string pins".

[0019] Preferably, the front end of the neck is provided with 24 frets, and the 24 frets have a wide range, which can meet the needs of chord playing of acoustic guitar and melody playing of electric guitar.

[0020] Preferably, a jack is installed on one side of the top of the barrel body. When a large two-pin audio plug is inserted, it is an electric guitar that can be directly connected to a dedicated electric guitar effector. When a large three-pin audio plug is inserted, it is a dual-channel acoustic finger-style guitar that can be connected to a dedicated acoustic guitar preamplifier and effector.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0022] 1. Portable performance for travel;

[0023] The folded size is about 50cm long, 35cm wide and 17.5cm thick

[0024] After folding, the ultra-thin size can fit into a standard 20-inch carry-on suitcase. When necessary, you can carry it into the cabin without having to check it in before boarding.

[0025] The unfolded size is about 96cm long, 35cm wide and 9.5cm thick.

[0026] It is almost the same size as the international standard guitar and does not require the player to change his playing habits.

[0027] 2. Multifunction for performance site and recording;

[0028] ⑴ On stage, an electric guitarist can connect it to an electric guitar dedicated effects pedal through a "TS" audio cable. At this time, only the internal circuit "1" (soundhole pickup) is connected, and it becomes a 24-fret electric guitar. Effects such as "overdrive", "distortion", and "wah-wah" can be added to the electric guitar dedicated effects pedal to meet the functions of band ensemble or personal solo.

[0029] ⑵ On stage, an acoustic fingerstyle guitarist can connect it to a wooden guitar dedicated dual-channel preamplifier through a "TRS" audio cable. At this time, the internal circuit "1" (soundhole pickup) and the internal circuit "2" (surface mount pickup) enter the dual-channel preamplifier simultaneously in two paths. By adjusting the volume and equalization parameter ratio of the two paths, the fingerstyle acoustic guitar tone can be obtained to meet the needs of acoustic guitar strumming or solo.

[0030] 3. Glow-in-the-dark fret marker function;

[0031] When performing in the dark or dim places, after absorbing light, the glow-in-the-dark fret markers will emit a faint light, ensuring that the performer will not press the wrong fret and produce wrong notes in the dark.

[0032] 4. Saddleless bridge and headstock string lock function;

[0033] ⑴ The original installation of the bridge and strings uses a "perforated type", avoiding the problem of string loosening and falling off after folding.

[0034] ⑵ The headstock string lock uses a hand-tightened screw type. When tightened clockwise, the 6 strings will be firmly fixed in place, ensuring that the 6 strings will not be scattered after the strings become loose after folding.

[0035] 5. The back panel, soundhole ring, and headstock veneer are made of carbon fiber material;

[0036] Carbon fiber material has good anti-deformation and excellent low-frequency conductivity. Combining carbon fiber with a solid wood panel greatly extends the service life. Using carbon fiber material for the soundhole ring and headstock veneer also echoes the same material as the back panel in the appearance design.

[0037] Summarize the effects of all the above innovative designs;

[0038] It is a lightweight, foldable and portable comprehensive travel folding guitar that combines an electric guitar and an acoustic guitar, meeting the needs of professional musicians for touring and recording and having a user-friendly design. Brief Description of the Drawings
