ABSTRACT:
A guitar is constructed in which the foot end of the fingerboard, which conventionally is secured to the surface of the soundboard for strength, is spaced from such surface thereby permitting the adjacent portion of the soundboard freely to vibrate during play, resulting in greater volume and tone. The underface of the soundboard is braced by means of a fanned arrangement of struts to provide additional stiffness to the soundboard adjacent the neck without substantially damping the vibration thereof.
