ABSTRACT:
A guitar is provided which, while being held in the traditional guitar playing position, may be strummed or bowed interchangeably, as desired. This is accomplished by constructing the nut, neck and bridge each to be formed having an arcuate surface to support the strings in an arcuate disposition. Furthermore, when the guitar is held in the traditional, generally vertical position, the corresponding upper edge portions of the nut, neck and bridge are raised so as to be greater in height than the opposite edge portions thereof to locate the arcuate surfaces asymmetrically relative to the body of the instrument to support the strings either for strumming, plucking or bowing.
