ABSTRACT:
An interchangeable pick-up construction for standard electric guitars in which the guitar body is provided with a recess. A pick-up engaging means is permanently installed within the recess, the engagement means forming a pair of oppositely disposed grooves which extend transversely with respect to the longitudinal access of the guitar body. The pick-up element includes the usual electrical components, and a conductive plate, the longitudinal side edges of which are selectively engageable within the grooves to a predetermined position in which electrical communication is established between the pick-up coil and contacts in the pick-up engaging means. In a second embodiment, means is provided for adjusting the relative position between the pick-up engaging means and the guitar body, so as to adjust the position of the pick-up element relative to strings carried by the guitar body.
