Transducer assembly mounting kit with feedback reduction device for installation into the sound hole of an acoustic guitar

摘要

The invention provides elements used to attach a standard magnetic pickup, in conjunction with a feedback reduction device, into the sound hole of an acoustic guitar in a manner that does not alter the inherent sound characteristics of the underlying guitar. The approach put forward provides a significant advantage by providing the ability to install a broad range of commercially available standard magnetic pickups, which combined with the feedback reduction device, provides the capability to achieve high gain amplification utilizing an open body acoustic guitar while eliminating the highly objectionable squeal that is customary in this type of application. The invention consists of a basic modification kit: the pickup mounting elements, the pickup itself, the feedback reduction device, the metalized guitar strings, the conductive string anchor bracket, and the interconnect cable assembly.

主权项

1. A modification kit for use with a hollow body acoustic guitar where said modification kit provides capability for high gain amplification without feedback squeal, wherein said modification kit consists of:
a magnetic transducer; and a transducer holder which also acts as interface to the feedback reduction device; and a feedback reduction device which mounts in the sound hole of said guitar; and a set of metalized guitar strings which are terminated into a conductive string anchor bracket; and a conductive string anchor bracket contains an attachment wire that is used to electrically close the loop with other electronics.
