Relocating tuning mechanisms inside the guitar body eliminates cantilever forces and accidental detuning while maintaining precise string tension.
Independent pivoting clamps and a shuttle translation mechanism accommodate variable instrument thickness, resolving stability issues during performance.
A lockable potentiometer apparatus uses a hirth joint and detent spring to secure guitar volume knobs in place.
An eccentric cam drives a cycloidal gear assembly to eliminate slippage and maintain pitch stability under string tension.
Concave sound box pocket eliminates strap dependency by increasing friction against the player's thigh to prevent slippage during sitting performance.
