ABSTRACT:
The electric Spanish guitar incorporates a unitary nut element which has a plurality of edges offset from each other, the offsets being such that each string bends sharply at two places before being secured to a turning screw. Such edges for each string are at the ends of a passage through which the string passes. The axis of each passage is inclined relative to the axis of the guitar neck, thus producing the indicated offset. The inclination of each passage is such that each bend is through an angle in excess of 10 degrees and preferably in excess of 15 degrees. The nut is mounted fixedly on the neck of the Spanish guitar, in the same location normally occupied by a conventional nut, and in place of such conventional nut.
