ABSTRACT:
A device for converting a conventional Spanish guitar into an instrument which can be played like a Hawaiian guitar. The device comprises a spacer member in the form of a rod of substantial thickness that is slipped underneath the strings of the guitar to raise them above the frets in the upper surface of the guitar neck, and rigidly attached to said spacer member is a pressure member likewise in the form of a rod provided with a cover of a resiliently yieldable material that is to engage the strings of the guitar from above to hold them against the spacer member; and detachable means are provided to secure the pressure member to the neck of the guitar. The same device may also be used as a capotasto on Hawaiian type guitars.
