ABSTRACT:
A string pitch control apparatus for electric-type stringed instruments such as electric guitars includes a cover plate having a shoulder strap aperture to be secured to the guitar body back side to cover a routed cavity. A strap lever is pivotally mounted to the cover plate, and has a first arm attached to the guitar shoulder strap, and a second arm connected to a connecting rod and mandrel linkage. A string pulling mandrel member is pivotally mounted to the cover plate, and has a first end connected to the mandrel linkage, and a second end pivotally opposite the first end connected to a guitar string extending through the guitar body through aperture. Tension on the shoulder strap causes tension on that string, thereby increasing the pitch of that string above its tuned pitch.
