Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9520213A1] A system (17) for tuning electrically powered guitars (5). The pickup transducer (10) normally employed for obtaining electrical representations of acoustic vibrations of the sounds by the guitar strings is directly and continuously connected to circuits (17) which measure the fundamental frequencies of the sounds and display a visual representation (20) of the extent, if any, to which the frequencies deviate from predetermined standards. The visual representation (20) is located in an upper surface (15) of the guitar body for being readily viewed by a guitar player who is in the normal playing position adjacent to the guitar.
