ABSTRACT:
A guitar or similar stringed musical instrument includes an electrical pickup located beneath the strings for transforming the string vibrations into electrical signals subsequently amplified to provide an electronically enhanced reproduction of the string sound. The pickup is of the magnetic induction type having no direct mechanical connection with the strings. The system for mounting the pickup from the body of the instrument inhibits the transmission of vibrations from the instrument body to the pickup to minimize extraneous noise in the output signal, and it is also one which is of relative simplicity and low cost and which provides for easy adjustment of the pickup relative to the strings.
